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
0 ˚C to +50 ˚C (32 ˚F to 122 ˚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

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

Phenomena specific to CCD image
sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images
are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image
sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD 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 CCD 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

Vertical smear

When an extremely bright object, such as a strong
spotlight or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may
be produced on the screen, or the image may be
distorted.

Care of the unit

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

Other

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

Basic Functions

Basic Functions

Overview of Functions

VISCA commands are the basis of camera control.

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 the1V cycle time, then
every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

General Commands

Within

In general

• 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; the display and other features are
turned off.

• I/F clear

Clears the Command buffer of the FCB 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. In this
case, if addresses from 1 to 7 are assigned to each of
7 devices, you can control seven cameras with the
same personal computer. However, the FCB camera
does not support connection of cameras in a daisy
chain. Therefore, whenever a camera is connected for
the first time, be sure to use the address set to confirm
the address.

• ID Write

Sets the camera ID.

Query Commands

Within

16 Byte

• Mute

Blanks the screen and sends out a synchronizing
signal.

• Lens Initialize

Initializes the zoom and focus of the lens. Even when
power is already on, it initializes the zoom and the
focus.

• Comp Scan

A pixel blemish-masking feature, which can be made
to reevaluate overall CCD pixel blemishes and mask
severely flawed pixels automatically upon receiving
the COMP SCAN command. This feature helps to
mask the flaws found in CCD imagers, even after the
camera has been powered on for some time.

Basic Functions

Zoom

The FCB camera employs a 36× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera
allows you to zoom up to 432×.

•Optical 36×, f = 3.4 to 122.4 mm (F 1.6 to F 4.5)

The horizontal angle of view is approximately 57.8
degrees (wide end) to 1.7 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 432× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to

You can activate the zoom in the following three ways

•By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the
camera itself

•Using a VISCA Command

• The Zoom Mode supports a Combined Mode and a
Separate Mode.

•Using an external key switch board connected to
the CN702 jack.

/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.

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, all of which can be set
using VISCA Commands.

• Auto Focus Mode

The minimum focus distance is 320 mm at the optical
wide end and 1500 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 with the TELE or the
WIDE buttons, 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.

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 C000 (10 mm).

Basic Functions

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 3000 to 7500K.
This mode is the factory setting.

• ATW

Auto Tracing White balance (2000 to 10000 K)

• Indoor

3200 K Base Mode

• Outdoor

5800 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
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

Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each

Basic Functions

AE – Manual

The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain
(16 steps) can be set freely by the user.

AE – Bright

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
Mode, the current status will be retained for a short
period of time.
Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or
“Shutter Priority,” can you switch it 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.

Setting value

Slow AE (Automatic Exposure)

The slow AE Response (automatic exposure) 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 automatic exposure
response speed from the factory setup speed (01 (hex)
up to 32 times (20 (hex)).
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
high-intensity subject (e.g., the headlights) for a
moment, you can still easily distinguish the portions of
the image surrounding the headlights.

High Resolution Mode (Default)

A newly developed DSP function enables the filtering
of signals. This allows the camera to provide images
with a high resolution (530 TV lines).
When this function is set to OFF, the camera outputs
images which are equivalent to 480 TV lines, just as
with the FCB-EX1000/EX1000P camera.

Aperture Control

Aperture control is a function which adjusts the
enhancement of the edges 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.

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

This function is effective when shooting images
against the sun, or when shooting a very bright
subject.
Using a CCD with a wide dynamic range and a newly
developed DSP allows the camera to combine signals
shot at a normal shutter speed and high intensity
images shot at the high shutter speed.
The shutter speed automatically changes (1/1000 sec.
to 1/8000 sec. Maximum ×128) depending on the level
requested by high intensity images to obtain the best
combined images.

Note

When the wide dynamic mode is ON, some part of the
image may appear solarised. This is normal for the wide
dynamic mode, and is not a camera malfunction.

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.

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.

10

Basic Functions

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.

Others

E-FLIP

This function turns the video output from the camera
upside down.

Mirror image

This function reverses the video output from the
camera horizontally.

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.

When Auto Slow Shutter is ON

Note

When in Auto_ICR_OFF state and WB data is added (default), 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 (0000 to FFFF). As this
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside,
data will be saved regardless of whether it has been
backed up.

Memory (Position preset)

Using the position preset function, 6 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

• Internal synchronization

An internal vibrator inside the camera generates a
synchronizing signal as a basic oscillator.
NTSC=28.636363MHz
PAL=17.7344MHz

• External synchronization (V-Lock Synchronization

When a TTL level V-Lock pulse is input, the camera
synchronizes to the input signal (V-lock
synchronization). The frequency of the input signal
synchronizes to within ±1Hz of the external
synchronization.
Also, 360 degree phase adjustment is possible due to
the phase adjustment of the V-lock signal.

Because V-lock synchronization is a simple synchronization
method, color signals like a VBS “Genlock” signal cannot be
synchronized.

1)In V-lock synchronization, the camera makes a V-lock pulse
(VL-PULSE) which synchronizes to the commercial power
supply and uses it as the external synchronization input signal
of the camera, using the fact that the V cycle (59.97 Hz vertical
synchronization signal) and the frequency of the commercial
power supply (60 Hz). The synchronous signal of the camera
will automatically sychronizes to the VL-PULSE in the
camera.

Motion Detection Function

This function instructs the camera to detect movement
within the monitoring area and then send an alarm
signal automatically.
The Detect signal goes out through the serial command
(VISCA) communication line.

Features

•You can set a frame for the detection range of 12
(horizontally) × 8 (vertically) blocks.

•You can set up to four frames.

•When the motion is detected in the set frame, the
Alarm Replay VISCA command is sent.

• The threshold level for detection can be set (common
to four frames).

• The interval of alarm detection can be set up to 256
seconds in units of one second.

•You can set on/off for each frame.

•When the Block Mode is set to ON, the Alarm Reply
command is not sent. Use this mode for checking
when the camera is installed or for confirming the
camera operation.

• The frame number is also sent with Alarm Replay to
report in which frame the motion has been detected.

Use the grid displayed on the screen to set mask
positions (see the figure below).
By executing the Center Line On command, only the x
and y axes of the center are displayed. Grids lines
disappear.

Frames

Setting frames

You can set the frame by assigning the starting point
and terminating point vertically and horizontally. You
can set up to four frames.

When motion is detected within the rage
where frames overlap

The alarms are sent for both frames.

Frame 1
Frame 2
Frame 3
Frame 4

At this position, the
alarm for frame 3 is
sent.

Within this overlapped
range, alarms are sent for
both frame 3 and frame 4.

command. By sending an MD On command, the
frame is displayed when motion is detected in the set
frame. The Alarm Reply command is set via the
serial command (VISCA) communication line.

8x 01 04 1B 02 FF --- On
8x 01 04 1B 03 FF --- Off

• Function Set

The Display mode function has two modes. One is
the Frame Mode, in which the detected frame is
displayed on the screen, and the other is the Block
Mode in which the block where the motion is
detected is displayed from among the set of 12
(horizontally) × 8 (vertically) blocks. The Frame
Mode is normally used. For examination and
verification when the camera is installed, display
blocks using the Block Mode. In the Block Mode, the
Alarm Reply command is not sent.

•When multiple motions are detected or motion is
detected in another frame within the set interval
following the original time the alarm was issued,
another alarm command is not issued.

•When motion is detected after the interval time
elapsed, the alarm is issued again.

Interval Interval

USED WITH CAUTION.

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

• Data bits : 8

• Start bit : 1

• Stop bit : 1/2

• Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is
not supported.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

1)VISCA is a protocol which controls consumer camcorders developed by Sony. “VISCA” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Command List

VISCA Communication
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

Packet (3 to 16 bytes)

Header

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3

Message (1 to 14 bytes)

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

● ACK message

Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a
command. No ACK 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 ACK
message is omitted, the socket number will contain

0.

Reply Packet Note

Ack 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 or inquiry command could not be
executed or failed, an error message is returned
instead of the completion message.

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

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.
