Overview of Functions
Zoom
The camera employs a 20× optical zoom lens combined
with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to
zoom up to 240×.
Optical 20×, f = 4.7 mm to 94.0 mm (F 1.6 to F 3.5)
The horizontal angle of view (1080i mode) is
approximately 55.4 degrees (wide end) to 2.9 degrees
(tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 240× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to
You can activate the zoom in the following ways with a
VISCA command.

/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.
Using Standard Mode
Using Variable Mode
There are eight levels of zoom speed.
Direct Mode
Setting the zoom position enables quick movement
to the designated position.
Digital Zoom ON/OFF
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary to
send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.
Basic Functions
Focus
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set
using VISCA Commands.
Auto Focus Mode
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical
wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end, and is
independent of the digital zoom.
The Auto Focus (AF) function automatically adjusts
the focus position to maximise the high frequency
content of the picture in a center measurement area,
taking into consideration the high luminance and
strong contrast components.
- Normal AF Mode
This is the normal mode for AF operations.
- Interval AF Mode
The mode used for AF movements carried out at
particular intervals. The time intervals for AF
movements and for the timing of the stops can be
set in one-second increments using the Set Time
Command. The initial value for both is set to five
seconds.
- Zoom Trigger Mode
When the zoom is changed, the pre-set value
(initially set at 5 seconds) becomes that for AF
Mode. Then, it stops.
AF sensitivity can be set to either Normal or LOW.
- Normal
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.
- LOW
Improves the stability of the focus. When the
lighting level is low, the AF function does not take
effect, even though the brightness varies,
contributing to a stable image.
Manual Focus Mode
Manual Focus has both a Standard Speed Mode and
a Variable Speed Mode. Standard Speed Mode
focuses at a fixed rate of speed. Variable Speed Mode
has eight speed levels that can be set using a VISCA
Command.
10
Basic Functions
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary to send
Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.
One Push Trigger Mode
When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to
adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then
holds that position until the next Trigger Command
is input.
Infinity Mode
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for
an unlimited distance.
Near Limit Mode
Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to F000
(10 mm).
Default setting: D000h (30 cm)
White Balance
White Balance has the following modes, all of which
can be set using VISCA Commands.
Auto White Balance
This mode computes the white balance value output
using color information from the entire screen. It
outputs the proper value using the color temperature
radiating from a black subject based on a range of
values from 3,000 to 7,500 K.
This mode is the default setting.
Indoor
3,200 K Base Mode
Outdoor
5,800 K Base Mode
One Push WB
The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white
balance mode that may be automatically readjusted
only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger),
assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting

Basic Functions
Back Light Compensation
When the background of the subject is too bright, or
when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE
mode, back light compensation will make the subject
appear clearer.
Wide Dynamic Range Mode (WD)
The Wide Dynamic Range mode is a function for
dividing an image into several blocks and correcting
blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights in
accordance with the intensity difference. It enables you
to obtain images in which portions ranging from dark
to light can be recognized, even when capturing a
subject with a large intensity difference that is backlit
or includes extremely light portions.
Images with wide dynamic range are produced by
combining long-exposure signals (normal shutter) with
the signals of the high-intensity portions obtained with
a short exposure (high-speed shutter).
Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode
The wide dynamic range can be set to be automatically
switched ON/OFF in accordance with the intensity
difference obtained by dividing an image into several
blocks and then averaging the intensity of each block.
Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode
Auto On/Off
When the intensity
difference between the
dark portions and light
portions of a subject
becomes large because
of back lighting or the
like, the wide dynamic
range mode is switched
ON.
When the subject
changes and the
intensity difference
between the dark
portions and light
portions becomes small,
the wide dynamic range
mode is switched OFF.
Exposure Ratio Mode
This mode fixes the shutter speed of a long exposure.
Configure the shutter speed of a short exposure by
setting the ratio with regards to a long exposure with
the exposure ratio parameter.
Blown-out highlight correction is not performed in
long exposure image or short exposure image.
q: Detection sensitivity (0: Low, 1: Mid, 2: Hi)
Select from three levels for detecting the
intensity within the image for when switching
Auto WD from OFF to ON.
r: Blocked-up shadow correction level can be
set to one of four levels. (0:L 1:M 2:H 3:S)
s: Blown-out highlight correction level can be
set to one of three levels. (0:L 1:M 2:H)
tu: Parameter to use in the exposure ratio mode.
Specify the short exposure time by setting
the magnification ratio (×1 to ×64) with
regards to a long exposure time.
Notes
• When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, solarization may be
observed in the images of some subjects. This phenomenon is
unique to wide dynamic range mode, and is not an indication of a
camera malfunction.
• The frame rate during Wide Dynamic Range mode will be half of
that during standard mode.
Example: When Wide Dynamic Range mode is ON in 1080/30P
mode, the frame rate is 15 fps.
The wide dynamic range mode includes the following
operation modes.
WD Mode
This mode corrects blocked-up shadows and blown-
out highlights in accordance with the intensity
difference.
WD Auto ON/OFF Mode
This mode switches WD ON/OFF automatically in
accordance with the intensity difference of the
subject.
Configure the sensitivity for when WD is switched
from OFF to ON with the detection sensitivity
parameter.
Noise Reduction
The NR (Noise Reduction) function removes noise
(both random and non-random) to provide clearer
images.
This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off.
The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain,
and this setting value determines the limit of the effect.
In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not
have an effect.

Gamma correction can be changed in this mode. The
following five options are available.
1: Standard
2: Straight gamma
3: S-curve - Low
4: S-curve - Mid
5: S-curve - High
Tip
Blocked-up shadows in images will be more noticeable

Slow shutter – Auto/Manual
When set to “Auto,” ensures that the slow shutter is set
automatically when the brightness drops. Effective only
when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”
Set to “Slow Shutter Manual” at shipment.
Note
The Slow Shutter Auto function is not available in WD mode.
Custom Color Gain
You can customize and configure the color gain. Use
this setting when bright color is particularly important.
The initial setting 100% (4h) can be set to range from
approx. 60% (Oh) to 200% (Eh) with 15 stages.
Custom Color Phase
You can customize and configure the color phase.
The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between
approx.
−14 degrees (0h) and +14 degrees (Eh), in
15 increments.
Auto ICR Mode
Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings
needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter.
With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is
automatically disabled (ICR ON), and the infrared
sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness,
the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF).
Also, on systems equipped with an IR light, the internal
data of the camera is used to make the proper decisions
to avoid malfunctions.
Auto ICR Mode operates with the AE Full Auto setting.
When Auto Slow Shutter is OFF (initial setting)
Low-Illumination Chroma Suppress Mode
You can configure a chroma suppress mode for lowillumination conditions. This can be useful when color
noise is particularly noticeable in such conditions.
Four levels (disabled and three levels) are available for
the low-illumination chroma suppress mode. Set the
effect to be applied at approximately 15 dB. Higher
setting values produce stronger chroma suppressing
effects.
ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode
An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the
image path for increased sensitivity in low light
environments. The ICR will automatically engage
depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to
be effective in day/night environments.
When the auto ICR mode is set to ON, the image

Checking the Location of the Camera for
Signals from the IR Remote Commander
The supplied Remote Commander may not work
correctly near inverter lighting fixtures. Good IR
detection can be verified to determine proper camera
location.
While the camera is being initialized after the power is
turned on by connecting the camera to an AC outlet
using the AC power adaptor and AC power cord, or by
using a VISCA command, the camera detects whether
or not the camera is able to receive infrared signals
from the Remote Commander. You can check the result
of this operation via the IR_ConditionInq command
(see page 37).
When the installation location does not allow stable
reception, try to install the camera farther away from
the inverter lighting fixtures.

Note
If the camera is placed on a desk, when you pan the
camera to the right or left beyond 120° with the camera
tilted downward by 20° (or tilted upward by 20° if it is
installed on a ceiling), the camera base may be
captured by the lens, depending on the zoom position
of the lens.
Power On/Off
Powers the camera on and off. When the power is off,
the camera is able to accept only the lowest level of
VISCA Commands and POWER of the Remote
Commander; the display and other features are turned
off.
I/F clear
Clears the Command buffer of the camera. Clearing
the buffer can also be carried out from the control
application software when the power is on.
Address set
VISCA is a protocol, which normally can support a
daisy chain of up to seven attached devices. Therefore,
whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be
sure to use the address set to confirm the address.

Initial Settings and Position Preset
Basic Functions
The initial values are those set at the factory. Settings
for items in Position presets 1 to 6 that will be retained
even when the power to the camera is turned off are
indicated by a “Yes,” those that will be lost are indicated
by an “No.”
When the power is turned on, the settings retained in
POSITION 1 will be called up as the initial settings.

Basic Functions
Notes
The number of times data can be written to the EEPROM (by executing Position Preset) is limited.
If you want the camera status and Pan/Tilt positions in effect before the camera is turned off to be retained when the power
is turned OFF, then turned ON again, have the camera memorize those positions in POSITION 1.
It takes approximately 2 seconds longer to memorize or erase settings in POSITION 1 than it does to memorize or erase
settings in any other channel.
Camera ID data will be saved regardless of the position preset.
If IMAGE FLIP or D70 mode has been switched, all of the Position Presets are reset to their initial values.

Commands
Use of RS-232C control software which has been
developed based upon this command list may cause
malfunction or damage to hardware and software. Sony
Corporation is not liable for any such damage.
Overview of VISCA
In VISCA, the device producing the commands, for
example, a computer, is called the controller, while the
device receiving the commands, such as an
EVI-H100S/H100V, is called the peripheral device. The
EVI-H100S/H100V serves as a peripheral device in
VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like
the EVI-H100S/H100V can be connected to one
controller using communication conforming to the
RS-232C standard. The parameters of RS-232C are as
follows.
Communication speed: 9,600 bps/38,400 bps
Data bits : 8
Start bit : 1
Stop bit : 1
Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is
not supported.
Command List
The VISCA devices each have a VISCA IN and VISCA
OUT connector.
Set the DSR input (the DTR output of the controller) of
VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment
from the controller.
Fig. 1 VISCA network configuration
Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As
shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a onedirection ring, so that messages return to the controller
via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network
are assigned addresses.
The address of the controller is fixed at 0. The
addresses of the peripheral devices are 1, 2, 3 ... in
order, starting from the one nearest the controller. The
address of the peripheral device is set by sending
address commands during the initialization of the
network.
1) VISCA is a protocol which controls consumer camcorders developed by Sony. “VISCA” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

VISCA Communication
Specifications
VISCA packet structure
The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a
packet (Fig. 2). The first byte of the packet is called the
header and comprises the sender’s and receiver’s
addresses. For example, the header of the packet sent to
the EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 1 from the
controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet
Packet (3 to 16 bytes)
Message (1 to 14 bytes)Header
Byte 1Byte 2Byte 3
sent to the EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is
82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input
the address of the EVI-H100S/H100V at X. The header
of the reply packet from the EVI-H100S/H100V
assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the
EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is A0H.
Some of the commands for setting EVI-H100S/H100V
units can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast).
In the case of broadcast, the header should be
hexadecimal 88H.
When the terminator is FFH, it signifies the end of the
packet.

Timing Chart
As VISCA Command processing can only be carried
out one time in a Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum
1V cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be returned.
If the Command ACK/Completion communication
time can be cut shorter than the 1V cycle time, then
every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

inquiries.
Completion message
Returned by the EVI-H100S/H100V when execution
of commands or inquiries is completed. In the case
of inquiry commands, it will contain reply data for
the inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the
ACK message is omitted, the socket number will
contain a 0.

Socket number
When command messages are sent to the
EVI-H100S/H100V, it is normal to send the next
command message after waiting for the completion
message or error message to return. However to deal
with advanced uses, the EVI-H100S/H100V has two
buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two
commands including the commands currently being
executed can be received. When the
EVI-H100S/H100V receives commands, it notifies the
sender which command buffer was used using the
socket number of the ACK message.

26
Command List
As the completion message or error message also has a
socket number, it indicates which command has ended.
Even when two command buffers are being used at any
one time, an EVI-H100S/H100V management
command and some inquiry messages can be executed.
The ACK message is not returned for these commands
and inquiries, and only the completion message of
socket number 0 is returned.
The following command use two sockets during
execution of each command that is sent. The
EVI-H100S/H100V cannot receive other requests
during execution of these commands. In addition,
these commands cannot be executed during operation
of other commands.

D70 Mode
Overview
The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-H100S/
H100V using VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P.
Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/
H100V correspond to one for the EVI-D70/P. However,
some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/
H100V are different from those for the EVI-D70/P in
definitions of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-H100S/
H100V whose D70 mode is set to ON, the camera
translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to those
for the EVI-H100S/H100V and executes the command.
The following parameters are subject to translation.
Zoom position
Pan-tilt speed
Pan-tilt position
Notes
Even if you set the D70 mode to ON, the EVI-
H100S/H100V may not emulate the EVI-D70/P
perfectly. This is caused by differences in hardware
between the two models.
The functions that are provided with the EVI-D70/
P but not with the EVI-H100S/H100V cannot be
executed.
Switching the Mode
You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching
the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-H100S/
H100V. To change the D70 mode setting, move the
BOTTOM switch to ON or OFF while the camera’s
power is off or the camera is in standby mode. Then,
turn the power on by connecting the camera to an AC
outlet or by using the VISCA commands or the Remote
Commander.
It takes about 7-16 seconds for the image to be
displayed after Pan/Tilt initialization motion has
stopped.
Do not turn off DC power until the image has been
displayed.
The mode will not change if you change the switch
setting of the BOTTOM switch after the power has
been turned on.
After you change the mode, previously saved position
preset data will be lost. (Zoom, Pan/Tilt positions, etc.
will be reset to their initial settings.)

Pan/tilt speed
The actual speed that is defined by the parameters
corresponds to that of the D70.
When the camera receives commands such as
PantiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall,
that do not include speed indications, these operations
are carried out at the same speed as they would be
when the D70 mode is set to OFF.

D70 Mode
Translation when answering inquiry commands
The camera sends back values that are calculated by
inverse conversion performed when the camera accepts
commands.
Note
Repetitive use of the Absolute position command may
increase the variance that is accumulated from
translation.
Example
When you execute the Relative position command
100 times, one step after another to turn the camera to
the right side:
CamerasResults
EVI-D70/PTurns to the right side by 7.5 degrees.
EVI-H100S/H100V whose
D70 mode is ON
Turns to the right side by 6.6 degrees.
For Absolute Position commands, the permissible
range for drive settings are the same as those for the
EVI-D70/P.
Pan direction: –170 degrees to + 170 degrees.
Tilt direction: –20 degrees to + 90 degrees.
