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.

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
this mode.
Histogram Mode
This mode uses a histogram to correct blocked-up
shadows and blown-out highlights.

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 than usual.
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 becomes black and white.

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.

The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.
For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Position Preset” section on page 16.
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.

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.

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 1 Byte 2 Byte 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.

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:
Cameras Results
EVI-D70/P Turns 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.
