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.

Commands
• 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.
However, the FCB camera does not support camera
connections 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.
• Mute
Blanks the screen and sends out a synchronizing
signal.
• Lens Initialization
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 is used 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 an 18× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to
zoom up to 216×.
Lens specifications: Optical 18×, f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm
(F1.4 to F3.0)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48
degrees (wide end) to 2.8 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 216× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways:
•By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the
camera itself.
•Using a VISCA Command
1
/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
The AutoFocus (AF) function automatically adjusts
the focus position to maximize 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
defined 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
returns to Manual Focus mode.
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.
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary
to send a “Stop Command” to stop the zoom operation.
• The Zoom Mode supports 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, all of which can be set
using VISCA Commands.
• Auto Focus Mode
The minimum focus distance is 290 mm at the optical
wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end (distance
from the front end of the lens), and is independent of
the digital zoom.
When used for 24 hours continuously,
initialization of lens system once a day is
recommended because this will make the life of
lens longer.
The Initialize Lens Command takes a little less than 3
seconds to initialize the focus and zoom.
• 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 a “Stop Command” to stop the zoom
operation.
• One Push Trigger Mode
When a Trigger Command is received, the lens
moves to adjust the focus for the subject. The focus
lens then holds the same position until the next
Trigger Command is input.
• Infinity Mode
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for
an unlimited distance.
7
Basic Functions
• Near Limit Mode
Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to C000 (10 mm).
The focus range is narrowed by excluding the
unnecessary range.

Basic Functions
AE – Bright
The bright control function adjusts both the 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,” the user can 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 90% and the
rest should be set to 10%. The range of the Spot AE
frame is fixed to five blocks vertically and four blocks
horizontally.

Others
Mirror Image
This function reverses the video output from the
camera horizontally.
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
• Focus Position
• AE Mode
• Shutter control parameters
• Bright Control
• Iris control parameters
• Gain control parameters
• Exposure Compensation On/Off
• Exposure Level
• Backlight Compensation On/Off
• Aperture
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 the text 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.
Camera ID
The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside
the camera, data will be saved regardless of whether it
has been backed up.
Effect
Custom Preset
As with the position preset function, the camera
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The
settings are recalled when the power is turned on.
For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Custom Preset
and Backup” section on page 29.
User Memory Area
A user area of 16 bytes allows you to write data, such
as an ID for each customer, data for each system, and
so on, freely.
Note
Rewriting of memory is not unlimited. Be careful to avoid using
the memory area for such as unnecessary tasks as rewriting the
contents of the memory for every operation.

Synchronization Methods
Internal and external synchronization are available;
VISCA Commands allow you to switch between them.
• Internal Synchronization
An internal vibrator inside the camera generates a
synchronizing signal as a basic oscillator.
EIA=28.636363MHz
CCIR=28.375MHz
• 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, V-Phase phase adjustment can be carried out to
within ±90 degrees due to the V-Lock phase
adjustment. In addition, 360 degree phase adjustment
is possible because you can switch between 0 degree
and 180 degree phases.
Because V-Lock synchronization is a simple synchronization
method, color signals like a VBS “GenLock” cannot be
synchronized.

pp pp pp pp Each 24 Privacy Zones corresponds to 1 bit.
See “pp pp pp pp: Mask bit” in “Parameters” on
page 14.
Comments: Each of 24 Privacy zones can be
switched on and off individually by a single
VISCA command. If you want to display a
Privacy zone, you must set its bit to 1. If you do
not want to display a Privacy zone, you must set
its bit to 0.
Set Mask Color
Command: 8x 01 04 78 pp pp pp pp qq rr FF
Parameter:
pp pp pp pp Each 24 Privacy Zones correspond with the BIT.
See “pp pp pp pp: Mask bit” in “Parameters” on
page 14.
qq Set the color code include the semi-transparency
code.
rr Set the color code include the semi-transparency
code. See “qq, rr: Color code” in “Parameters” on
page 14.
Comments: Two different color masks can be
chosen.
The colors can be chosen from among 14 colors
including the possibility for semi-transparency of
each color. Therefore two colors from among the
total of 28 colors can be individually set for each
of 24 privacy zones.
If the bit of parameter (pp pp pp pp) is set to “0”,
mask color will be “qq” color (Color code). If the
bit of parameter (pp pp pp pp) is set to “1”, the
mask color will be “rr” color (Color code).
Example: 8x 01 04 78 00 00 00 03 10 07 FF
The mask color of Mask_A and Mask_B is White
(color code 07h), and the mask color of the other
Mask (C to X) is semi-transparent Black (color
code 10h).
Set Pan Tilt Angle
Command: 8x 01 04 79 0p 0p 0p 0q 0q 0q FF
Parameter:
ppp Pan Angle
qqq Tilt Angle
See “Setting pan/tilt angle” in “Parameters” on page
14.
Comments: Pan/Tilt angle settings are hexadecimal
data.
The resolution of Pan/Tilt angle is 0.088 degrees.
Note
When you set the pan/tilt angle, locate the pan/tilt position at the
center point of the FCB camera’s position.
Non Interlock Mask
Command: 8x 01 04 6F mm 0p 0p 0q 0q 0r 0r 0s 0s
FF
Parameters:
mm Setting Mask
See “mm: mask setting list” in “Parameters” on page 14.
pp Sets the center position “x” of the Mask on screen.
qq Sets the center position “y” of the Mask on screen.
rr Sets the half value “w” of the Mask Width.
ss Sets the half value “h” of the Mask Height.
See “pp: x, qq: y, rr: w, ss: h” in “Parameters” on page 14.
Commands: Mask does not interlock with pan/tilt.
The limitations of parameters are as follows.
(hexadecimal representation)
x: ±50h
w: ±50h
y: ±3ch
h: ±3ch
Note
When the Set Mask command and the Non Interlock Mask
command are set to the same mask, the command set later
becomes effective.

Alarm Function
This function instructs the camera to detect movement
within the monitoring area and then send an alarm
signal automatically.
A High level signal is output when camera detects
movement inside the monitoring area. A Low level
signal is output when object stops moving.
However, when the mode is set to “DAY/NIGHT”, the
High level signal is output for dark and the Low level
signal is output for bright.
The Detect signal goes out through the serial command
(VISCA) communication line.
Example
1. A door is motionless, so the Detect Level is Low.
2. At the moment when the door is opened by
someone, the Detect Level goes to High.
3. The Detect Level is High while the shooting object
is moving.
4. When the door is closed, Detect Level goes to Low
again, or signals are output only once at the time of
switching between High Level and Low Level.

00 Set the internal focus position. When focus movement is detected, the detect signal is High. When focus goes
back to the previous position, the detect signal is Low.
01 Set a fixed period of time. When focus does not move during the time, the focus position is memorized as a
rest position and the detect signal is Low.
When focus moves, the detect signal is High. Afterwards when focus does not move for the fixed period of
time, the focus position is memorized and the detect signal becomes Low.
02 Set the internal AE Level. When AE movement is detected, the detect signal is High. When AE Level goes
back to the previous level, the detect signal is Low.
03 Set a fixed period of time. When AE Level does not change during this time, the AE value is memorized as a
rest value and the detect signal is Low.
When AE value changes, the detect signal is High.
Afterwards when AE value does not change for the fixed period of time, the AE value is memorized and the
detect signal becomes Low.
