Overview

Precautions

Software

Use of the demonstration software developed by Sony
Corporation or use of the software with customer
developed application software may damage hardware,
the application program or the camera. Sony
Corporation is not liable for any damages under these
conditions.

Operation

Start the camera control software on your computer
after you turn on the camera and the image is displayed.

Operation and storage locations

Do not shoot images that are extremely bright (e.g.,
light sources, the sun, etc.) for long periods of time. Do
not use or store the camera in the following extreme
conditions:

• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature
–5 ˚C to +60 ˚C (23 ˚F to 140 ˚F))

• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic
radiation such as radio or TV transmitters

• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections

• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.)
lighting conditions

• Where it is subject to strong vibration

• Where it is subject to radiation from laser beams

Care of the unit

Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a
blower (commercially available).

Other

• Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.

• Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified
voltage.) Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or
a fire may occur.

• The CMOS image sensor and IC included in this
camera may break if exposed to static electricity.
When directly handling this camera, wear an
antistatic strap, spread a conductive sheet or similar
item under your workbench, and take measures to
eliminate static electricity.

• In case of abnormal operation, contact your
authorized Sony dealer or the store where you
purchased the product.

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images
are specific to CMOS image sensors. They do not
indicate malfunctions.

Rolling shutter

As CMOS image sensors use shutters that capture
images line-by-line, there is a slight time difference
between the top and bottom of an image. As a result,
images may appear skewed if the camera is moved.

White flecks

Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with
high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be
generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors
and is not a malfunction.

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases:

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)

• when operating in Slow-Shutter mode

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.

Phenomena Specific to Lenses

Ghosting

If a strong light source (e.g., the sun) exists near the
incidence angle of the lens, bright spots may appear in
the image due to diffuse reflection within the lens.

Basic Functions

Overview of Functions

The camera control is performed by VISCA
Commands.

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 Acknowledge/Completion to be
returned.
If the Command/Acknowledge/Completion
communication time can be less than the 1V cycle
time, then every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

General Commands

Query Commands

In general

• Power On/Off

Powers the camera on and off.

When the power is off, the camera is able to accept
the VISCA Commands although the screen is set
non-displayed.

• I/F Clear

Clears the Command buffer of the FCB camera.

• Address Set

VISCA is a protocol, which normally supports a daisy

chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232C
interface. In such cases, the address set command can
be used to assign addresses from 1 to 7 to each of the
seven cameras, allowing you to control the seven
cameras with the same personal computer.

Although the FCB camera does not support direct

connection of cameras in a daisy chain, be sure to use
the address set command to set the address whenever
a camera is connected for the first time.

• ID Write

Sets the camera ID.

Zoom

The FCB camera incorporates a 30× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera
allows you to zoom up to 360×.

• Optical 30

(F 1.6 to F 4.7)

The horizontal angle of view is approximately 63.7
degrees (wide end) to 2.3 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 360× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to

/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

There are eight levels of zoom speed.

In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send
Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

Setting the zoom position enables quick
movement to the designated position.

The Zoom Mode supports, a OFF, a Combined
Mode and a Separate Mode.

Combined Mode

This is the previously existing zoom method.
After the optical zoom has reached its
maximum level, the camera switches to Digital
Zoom Mode.

Separate Mode

In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom
can be operated separately. You can use digital
zoom magnification at any time from within
any level of optical magnification.

Focus

Focus has the following modes.

• Auto Focus Mode

The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical

wide end and 1200 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 setting for both is set to 5
seconds.

- Zoom Trigger Mode

When zoom position is changed,it becomes AF
mode during the pre-set value (initial setting is set
to 5 seconds). Then it stops.

• AF Sensitivity

The switching of AF sensitivity can be set.

- 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 Mode and a

Variable Mode. Standard Mode focuses at a fixed rate
of speed. Variable Mode has eight speed levels.

In these standard and variable 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.

• Near Limit

Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to F000 (10 mm).
Initial setting: D000h (30 cm)

Basic Functions

White Balance (WB)

White Balance has the following modes.

• Auto

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 2500K to 7500K.

This mode is the initial setting.

• ATW

Auto Tracing White balance (2000K to 10000K)

• Indoor

3200K Base Mode

• Outdoor

5800K 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
conditions, and occupying more than 1/2 of the
image, is submitted to the camera.

One Push White Balance data is lost when the power

is turned off. If the power is turned off, reset One
Push White Balance.

• Manual WB

This is a mode that enables you to manually set the

control of R and B gain up to 256 steps.

• Outdoor Auto

This is an auto white balance mode specifically for

outdoors. It allows you to capture images with natural
white balance in the morning and evening.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp Auto

This is an auto white balance mode that is compatible

with sodium vapor lamps.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp

This is a fixed white balance mode specifically for

sodium vapor lamps.

Auto Exposure Mode (AE)

A variety of AE functions are available for optimal
output of subjects in lighting conditions that range
from low to high.

• Full Auto

Iris, Gain and Shutter Speed can be set automatically.

• Gain Limit Setting

The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter

Priority, Iris Priority, Bright, Spot Exposure and
Manual in the AE mode. Use this setting when you
want to obtain image in which signal-to-noise ratio is
particularly important.

• Shutter Priority

Adjust with Variable Shutter Speed (1/1 to 1/10,000

sec., 16 high-speed shutter speeds plus 6 low-speed
shutter speeds), Auto Iris and Gain.

1) Flicker in the East Japan area (50 Hz power supply frequency)
can be eliminated by setting shutter to 1/100s.

AE – Shutter Priority

The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a total
of 22 steps – 16 high speeds and 6 low speeds. When
the slow shutter is set, the speed can be adjusted
according to subject brightness. The picture output is
read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is
updated at a low rate from the CMOS. AF following
capability is lowered and also the number of frame to
be displayed is decreased.
In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to
1/10,000s. The iris and gain are set automatically,
according to the brightness of the subject.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp Outdoor Auto

This is an auto white balance mode specifically for

outdoors, which is compatible with sodium vapor
lamps.

Note

High-pressure sodium lamps are supported. Proper
white balance may not be captured for some subjects
when using low-pressure sodium lamps.

The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris
using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness
level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by
gain when dark, and by iris when bright.
As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when
exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching
from Full Auto or Shutter Priority Mode to Bright

Spot Exposure Mode

In Full Auto AE, the level for the entire screen is
computed and the optimum Auto Iris and Gain levels
are determined. In Spot AE, a particular section of the
subject can be designated, and then that portion of the
image can be weighted and a value computed so that
Iris and Gain can be optimized to obtain an image.
For example, in an image with a lot of movement and
with varying levels of brightness, portions without
much change can be designated as such a “spot,” and
changes to the screen can be minimized in that area.
As shown in the diagram below, a range of 16 blocks
vertically and 16 blocks horizontally can be designated.
In the case where the center is designated (shown in
black), the level is computed along with a weighted
value for the surrounding block (shaded), including the
specified portions; and then the Gain and Iris are set.
The value of the designated portions and the
surrounding areas should be calculated as 100%, the
rest should be set to 20%. The range of the Spot AE
frame is fixed to 5 blocks vertically and 4 blocks
horizontally.

Slow AE (Auto Exposure)

The slow AE Response function allows you to reduce
the exposure response speed. Usually the camera is set
up so that the optimum exposure can be obtained
automatically within about
1 second. However, using the slow AE response
function allows you to lengthen the auto exposure
response speed from the initial setup speed (01h) to
approx. 10 minutes (30h) (at normal shutter speed).
For example, with the normal setting (about 1 second),
if the headlights of a car are caught by the camera, the
camera automatically adjusts the exposure so that it can
shoot a high-intensity subject (in this case, the
headlights). As a result, images around the headlights,
that is, the rest of the subject, except the headlights,
becomes relatively dark, and poorly distinguished.
However, using the slow AE function means the AE
response speed will be slower, and response time will
be longer. As a result, even if the camera catches a high­intensity subject (e.g., the headlights) for a moment,
you can still easily distinguish the portions of the image
surrounding the headlights.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the
internal reference brightness level used in the AE
mode, by steps of 1.5 dB.

Setting value

High Resolution Mode

This mode enhances edges and produces higher
definition images.

Aperture Control

Aperture control is a function which adjusts the edge
enhancement of objects in the picture. There are 16
levels of adjustment, starting from “no enhancement.”
When shooting text, this control may help by making
them sharper.

Backlight 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)
(Supported in FW version 7.00 or later for
FCB-EV7520/CV7520 only)

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).

Notes

• When the WD is On, false colors may appear in some parts of the
image. This phenomenon is unique to WD, and is not an
indication of a camera malfunction.

• When switching WD mode, images are shown at a maximum of 8
frames at the same time.

Visibility Enhancer (VE)

Depending on the imaging scene, the Visibility
Enhancer function makes the darker part of a camera
image brighter, and automatically correct brightness
and contrast to show bright parts clearly.

Note

This function is also used in the WD operation.

It allows you to easily read the number of vehicles and
number plate in the indoor parking area or in the
outdoor during the night.

MinimumShutter

When the subject becomes dark, the shutter speed
becomes slow, and then the gain is increased. This is a
function to put a limit on the shutter speed.
It prevents the camera shake when you shoot a moving
subject in a dark place.

Noise Reduction (NR)

The NR function removes noise (both random and
non-random) to provide clearer images.
The functions of both 2D NR (removal of 2­dimentional noise) and 3D NR (removal of 3­dimentional noise) are provided. When the 2D NR
level is increased, the details of image may be lost
because the smoothing of image with the peripheral
area is performed. Also, when the 3D NR level is
increased, adverse effects such as image blur and
blending in the successive images occur in the moving
portion. In this function, the mode to set the level of
effect by combining 2D/3D (normal setting) and the
mode to individually set the level of effect respectively
(independent setting) are available.

• In the normal setting, you can select the noise
reduction level from 6 levels: levels 1 to 5, plus off.

In this setting, the users cannot adjust the ratio of

2D/3D effect level.

• In the independent setting, you can individually select
the 2D NR and 3D NR from 6 levels respectively:
levels 1 to 5, plus off.

* The 2D/3D NR independent setting is supported in

version 6.00 or later.

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.

Defog mode

When the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and
low contrast, the defog mode will make the subject
appear clearer.
You can select this function from the four levels: OFF,
Low, Middle and High.

HLC

HLC (highlight correction) is a function to adjust AE
and AF, and to perform the masking of light area as
required when a high intensity spot light is detected.

High Sensitivity Mode

In this mode, the maximum gain increases, enabling to
obtain a brighter output even in a darker environment.
However, if the gain reaches high level (up to 4x), the
image will have a large amount of noise.

Variable Gamma Mode

There are standard (01h) mode and straight gamma
(02h) mode.

Basic Functions

Gamma Offset

You can set the brightness from -16 (00h) to +64 (40h)
in each mode of variable gamma mode.

Contrast Adjustment Function (supported in
version 6.00 or later)

You can adjust the contrast level in the range from 0
(00h) to 255 (FFh). The initial setting is 128 (80h). The
smaller the value is, the lower the contrast becomes,
and the larger the value is, the higher the contrast
becomes.

Note

This function is available when the variable gamma mode is
set to standard (00h) mode and when VE/WDR/HLC are set
to OFF.

Color Enhancement

A color image can be created two colors brighter and
darker than the threshold value.
(The threshold level can be set with an optional level.)

zoom and digital zoom. The digital zoom can be
further used to zoom up to 360×. At the wide end, you
can obtain images without any reduction in the
resolution because the digital zoom is not switched On.
On the other hand, at the tele end, the correction effect
by the Image Stabilizer function is at its maximum so
blurring is reduced. The “StableZoom” function can be
switched On/Off in the register settings.

Temperature Reading Function

The conversion value (hex) of the temperature sensor
built into to the camera can be read by using a query
command. The conversion value has an error of ±3 C,
and because the temperature sensor is inside the
camera, this value is not the ambient temperature. Use
it as a reference value.

Angle of view and resolution

Image Stabilizer

Switching On the Image Stabilizer function reduces
image blurring caused by, for example, vibration, which
allows you to obtain images without much blurring. A
correction effect is possible for a vibration frequency of
around 10 Hz. The Image Stabilizer function employs
the digital zoom system, so the angle of view and
resolution are changed, but the sensitivity is
maintained.

Hold Function of Image Stabilizer

With the Image Stabilizer function, suddenly stopping
high-speed movement (pan, tilt, etc.) of the camera
produces a blur sensor counteraction that may cause
image movement. In such a case, you can use a
command setting (hold) to maintain the correction of
the Image Stabilizer function. In this case the image
stabilizer is off, but there is no change in the angle of
view.

“StableZoom”

“StableZoom” is a function for performing correction
using the Image Stabilizer function in accordance with
the zoom ratio, and smoothly zooming up to
approximately 36× using a combination of the optical

Note

The hand shake correction function may not work correctly under
the condition that high-frequency vibration component exits. In
such a case, set the image stabilizer function to Off.

available only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”
The initial setting is “Auto Slow Shutter Off.”

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.

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.

Custom Color Gain

You can 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% (0h) to 200% (Eh) with 15 stages.

Custom Color Phase

You can configure the color phase. The initial setting 0
degrees (7h) is adjustable between approx.
(0h) to +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.

Note

Depending on the information such as brightness, etc., in the On/
Off settings condition, a malfunction may occur when the subjects
largely consisting of blue and green colors are taken.

Camera ID

The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000h to FFFFh). As
this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory
inside, data will be saved.

Picture Effect

It consists of the following functions.

• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal

• Black & White: Monochrome Image

Others

E-FLIP

This function reverses the video output from the
camera vertically and horizontally.

LR Reverse

This function reverses the video output from the
camera horizontally.

Basic Functions

Freeze

This function captures an image in the field memory of
the camera so that this image can be output
continuously.

Because communication inside the camera is based on V cycle,
the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after the
sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time
period after sending EVEN, ODD or a Command.

Memory (Position preset)

Using the position preset function, 16 sets of camera
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.
This function allows you to achieve the desired status
instantly, even without adjusting the following items
each time.

• Zoom Position

• Digital Zoom On/Off

• Focus Auto/Manual

User’s Updating

Overview

The details on the firmware version upgrade are
described.
To perform the firmware version upgrade, the
following three steps are required.

1) Shifting to the maintenance mode using the Visca
command

2) Binary transmission (X model protocol) of the
firmware in the maintenance mode

3) Finalizing setting using the Visca command

Each step is described as follows.

1) Shifting to the maintenance mode using the Visca
command

After entering the standby mode using the Visca

command, the unit shifts to the maintenance mode.
When shifting to the maintenance mode, the
Writer program is written in FlashROM after the
last Visca command is sent, and then the Writer
program is started after reboot. The writing takes
approximately 5 seconds.
Note that if the power is turned off during the
writing, the program will be broken and cannot be
restored.

2) Binary transmission (X model protocol) of the
firmware in the maintenance mode

Serial Port Setting during maintenance mode

Communication Speed 115200 bps
Data bit 8 bit
Parity None
Stop bit 1 bit
Flow control

In the maintenance mode, the terminal software

capable of sending the character command is used.

The terminal software that is provided with the

XMODEM binary transfer protocol is used.

When you transfer the camera firmware (uug.bin

file) using this function, the transferred file is
written in FlashROM. The writing takes
approximately 4 minutes.
Note that if the power is turned off during the
writing, the program will be broken and cannot be
restored.
After the writing is completed, the unit restarts
automatically, and then the camera firmware is
started.

None

3) Finalizing setting using the Visca command

The finalizing setting is performed using the Visca

command.

You cannot read the correct camera firmware

version without performing this setting. Be sure to
perform this setting.

Command List

Overview of VISCA

In VISCA, the device outputting commands, for
example, a computer, is called the controller. The
device receiving the commands, an FCB camera is
called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven
peripheral devices like the FCB camera can be
connected to one controller using communication
conforming to the RS-232C standard. The parameters
of RS-232C are as follows.

Communication speed: 9.6 kbps/19.2 kbps/

38.4 kbps/115.2 kbps

Data bits : 8



Specifications

VISCA packet structure

The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a
packet. 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 FCB
camera assigned address 1 from the controller (address

0) is hexadecimal 81h. The packet sent to the camera
assigned address 2 is 82h. In the command list, as the
header is 8X, input the address of the camera at X. The
header of the reply packet from the camera assigned
address 1 is 90h. The packet from the camera assigned
address 2 is A0h.
Some of the commands for setting cameras 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.

Command List

Responses for commands and inquiries

 Acknowledge message
Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a

command. No Acknowledge message is returned for
inquiries.

 Completion message
Returned by the FCB camera 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
Acknowledge message is omitted, the socket number
will contain 0.

Reply Packet Note
Acknowledge X0 4Y FF Y = socket number
Completion (Commands) X0 5Y FF Y = socket number
Completion (Inquiries) X0 5Y ... FF Y = socket number
X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8

 Error message
When a command could not be executed or failed,

an error message is returned instead of the
Acknowledge message. After an Acknowledge
message, an error message may be returned if the
process of some command (zoom, etc.) has not been
completed.
When a inquiry command could not be executed or
failed, an error message is returned instead of the
completion message.

The Acknowledge message is not returned for these
commands and inquiries, and only the completion
message of socket number 0 is returned.

Command execution cancel

To cancel a command which has already been sent,
send the Cancel command as the next command. To
cancel one of any two commands which have been
sent, use the cancel message.

Cancel Packet Note
Cancel 8X 2Y FF Y = socket number
X = 1 to 7: FCB camera address, Y = socket number

An error message will be returned for this command,
but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has
been canceled.

Error Packet Description

X0 6Y 01 FF Message length error (>14 bytes)
X0 6Y 02 FF Syntax Error
X0 6Y 03 FF Command buffer full
X0 6Y 04 FF Command cancelled
X0 6Y 05 FF No socket (to be cancelled)
X0 6Y 41 FF Command not executable
X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8, Y = socket number

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the FCB camera,
send the next command message after waiting for the
completion message or error message to return.
However to deal with advanced uses, the FCB camera
has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up
to two commands including the commands currently
being executed can be received. When the FCB camera
receives commands, it notifies the sender which
command buffer was used using the socket number of
the Acknowledge message. 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 FCB camera
management command and some inquiry messages
can be executed.

32

VISCA Device Setting Command

Before starting control of the FCB camera, be sure to
send the Address command and the IF_Clear
command using the broadcast function.

For VISCA network administration

 Address
Sets an address of a peripheral device. Use when

initializing the network, and receiving the following
network change message.

 Network Change
Sent from the peripheral device to the controller

when a device is removed from or added to the
network. The address must be re-set when this
message is received.

Packet Note
Address 88 30 01 FF Always broadcasted.
