Overview of Functions

Zoom
The SRG camera employs 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)
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by expanding each image in both the vertical and horizontal directions. When the digital zoom is used, the resolution deteriorates.
You can activate the zoom in the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA command.
Standard Mode Variable Mode
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.
Direct Mode
Setting the zoom position enables quick movement to the designated position.
Digital Zoom ON/OFF
Note
The digital zoom is enabled only when the Video Latency is set to NORMAL.
×, f = 4.3 mm to 129 mm
Focus
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands.
• Auto Focus Mode
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.
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical
wide end and 1200 mm at the optical tele end.
- 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 AF mode activates for the pre-set time. Then, it stops. The initial value is set to 5 seconds.
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.
10
Basic Functions
• 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 that can be set using a VISCA Command.
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.
• 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 (1 cm). Default setting: D000h (30 cm)
White Balance
White Balance has the following modes.
• 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 2500K to 7500K.
This mode is the factory setting.
• ATW
Auto Tracing White balance (2000K to 10000K)
• Indoor
3200K Base Mode
• Outdoor
5800K Base Mode
• One Push WB
One Push White Balance is a function that forcibly
captures the white color once the lighting conditions to illuminate the subject are set, enabling you to shoot the image in the conditions as they are set. By using this function, the natural color of the subject can be obtained without being affected by the surrounding lighting conditions. To set this mode, shoot the subject that you want to capture the white color and send the One Push White Balance Trigger.
The One Push White Balance data is lost when the
power is turned off. If the power is turned off, set One Push White Balance again.
Automatic Exposure Mode
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 and Manual in the AE mode. Use this setting when image signal-to-noise ratio is particularly important.
• Shutter Priority
Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain
(1/1 to 1/10,000 sec., 16 high-speed shutter speeds plus 6 low-speed shutter speeds)

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 the slow shutter according to subject brightness. The picture output is read at a low rate from the memory. AF capability is low. 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.

The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (14 steps) and gain (15 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,” you can switch it to “Bright.”

Basic Functions
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).
• About WD Set Parameter (Command: 8x 01 7E 04 00 0p FF)
p: WIDE D (Wide dynamic range mode) When MODE (exposure mode) is set to FULL
AUTO, the camera distinguishes light and dark areas in the same scene, adjusts the brightness for dark areas, and also controls the blown out highlights.
You can select the wide dynamic range mode
from among OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH.
(0: OFF, 1: LOW, 2: MID, 3: HIGH.)
Notes
• You can set the wide dynamic range mode when the WIDE D is set to FULL AUTO only.
• When the WIDE D is not set to OFF, the MODE setting is fixed at FULL AUTO.
• When changing the WIDE D, the luminance change of the screen occurs for a moment.
• When the change of exposure is big, the screen may stop for a moment.
• When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, false colors may appear in some parts of the image. This phenomenon is unique to wide dynamic range mode, and is not an indication of a camera malfunction.
• When switching wide dynamic range mode, images are shown at a maximum of 8 frames at the same time.
• When the intensity difference of the image is small, there is no difference in effect between MID and HIGH.
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. The reference brightness is 0.

00 −7 −10.5 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 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.
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.
13
Basic Functions
High Sensitivity Mode
In this mode, higher sensitivity gain is applied as standard gain increases, reaching a gain level at MAX gain of up to 4x the standard gain. In such cases, however, there will be a high volume noise in the image.
Gamma Mode
In this mode, the gamma can be set to ON/OFF. 0: Standard 1: OFF
Image Stabilizer
You can set this function to ON or OFF. When set to ON, you can obtain steadier images if vibration is present. This stabilizer is effective for vibration frequencies around 10 Hz. This function utilizes digital zoom; therefore, the angle of view and resolution of images may be affected. However, image sensitivity is retained. OFF: The image stabilizer function is not effective
operations.
ON: The image stabilizer function is effective
operations.
HOLD: The image stabilizer function is not effective
operations. (The same shift of field angle as ON can be used.)
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
The IR Cut-Filter can be disengaged, by which the sensitivity in the infrared range is increased, allowing the camera to capture the image in darker area. When the auto ICR mode is set to ON, the image becomes black and white.
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.
Color Phase
You can configure green, yellow, red, magenta, blue and cyan individually. The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between approx. 15 increments.
−14 degrees (0h) to +14 degrees (Eh), in
Notes
• The image stabilizer function is not effective during pan/tilt operations. It may take some time for the image to stabilize after performing pan/tilt operations.
• If the image stabilizer function is enabled, it may take some time for the image to stabilize after turning on the power of the camera.
• Depending on the installation conditions, the image stabilizer may not be effective.
• When the image stabilizer function is set to ON or HOLD, the field angle is shifted to the direction in which the subject appears larger.
• The image stabilizer may not be effective in an installation environment where high frequency vibration is present. In this case, set the image stabilizer function to OFF.
• The image stabilizer function is enabled only when the Video Latency is set to NORMAL.
Auto Slow Shutter On/Off
When set to “On,” the slow shutter functions automatically when the light darkens. This setting is available only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.” The default setting is “Auto Slow Shutter Off.”
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.

Picture Effect
It consists of the following functions.
• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal
• Black & White: Monochrome Image
PAN/TILT SLOW mode
When this function is set to ON, the PAN/TILT movement slows down, allowing you to easily shoot the subject that moves slowly.
Note
The low-speed motion image may appear to be shaking depending on the zoom factor.
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.
Video Latency setting
When the Video Latency is set to LOW, the latency until the shot image is output from the camera is shortened.
Note
While it is set to LOW, the digital zoom and image stabilizer functions are disabled. The field angle may be narrowed by Video Format. The image distortion may be remarkable depending on the magnification.
Check for influence of installation environment on infrared remote commander operation
The supplied infrared remote commander may not operate, only occasionally, in the vicinity of the inverter lighting device. In this case, it is possible that the camera is installed in a place where the infrared remote commander cannot stably receive light due to the emission of light from the lighting device. In either the DC power or VISCA communication, it is judged whether or not the infrared remote commander is under the installation environment where it can receive signal during the initialization process performed after the power of camera is turned on. The result of this judgment can be obtained using the IR_ConditionInq command. (See page 41.) If the installation environment is judged to be unstable for operating the infrared remote commander, try to take such measures as to install this unit in a place away from the lighting device having the influence, and so on.
15
Basic Functions
Others
STANDBY
Sends the power off command. Or when the power is turned off using the infrared remote commander, the camera becomes STANDBY state. In the STANDBY state, the camera can accept only the VISCA Commands and the POWER ON of the infrared remote commander, and the video signal output and other operations are stopped.
I/F Clear
Clears the Command buffer of the camera. The buffer is cleared even during the power on state using the control software.
Address Set
VISCA is a protocol, which supports a daisy chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232 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. Be sure to use the address set command to set the address whenever a camera is connected for the first time.
The settings stored using this function are recalled when the power is turned on.
For setting items, see the “Initial Settings and Preset” section on page 17.
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.

• The setting or deleting of memory to/from preset 1 takes approx. 2 seconds longer than other channels.
• In CameraID, the data is stored regardless of the preset.
• When ImageFlip is executed, all presets are reset to the initial value.
