Basic Functions

Overview of Functions

Zoom

EVI-D80N/P:

The camera employs a 18× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to zoom up to 216×.

• Optical 18×, f = 4.1 mm to 73.8 mm (F 1.4 to F 3.0)

The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48.0 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 1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

EVI-D90N/P:

The camera employs a 28× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to zoom up to 336×.

Optical 28×, f = 3.5 mm to 98.0 mm (F 1.35 to F 3.7)



The horizontal angle of view is approximately 55.8 degrees (wide end) to 2.1 degrees (tele end). Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by expanding each image in both the vertical and horizontal directions. When 336× zoom is used, the number of effective picture elements in each direction reduces to 1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

You can activate the zoom in the following two ways

By pressing the ZOOM buttons on the Remote



Commander

Using a VISCA Command



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.

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 (EVI-D80N/P), 1500 mm (EVI-D90N/P) 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 Z buttons on the Remote Commander, 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.

Controlled by IRIS

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

When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter Priority mode is maintained.

Basic Functions

Wide Dynamic Range Mode (WD) (EVI-D90N/P 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. A CCD for shooting a wide dynamic range is employed, and a newly developed image signal processor combines a long exposure signal (normal shutter) and a signal of the high intensity portions obtained by a short exposure (high-speed shutter) to achieve images with a wide dynamic range.

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.

High Resolution Mode

A newly developed ISP function enables the filtering of signals. This allows the camera to provide images with a high resolution.

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 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.

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.

Basic Functions

The wide dynamic range mode includes the following operation modes.

WD Mode



This mode corrects blocked-up shadows and blownout 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.

Exposure Ratio Mode



This mode fixes the shutter speed of a short exposure. Configure the shutter speed of a long exposure by setting the ratio with regards to a short exposure with the exposure ratio parameter. Blocked-up shadow correction is not performed in this mode.

Histogram Mode



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

tu: Parameter to use in the exposure ratio mode.

Specify the short exposure time by setting the magnification ratio (×1 to ×150) with regards to a long exposure time.

Noise Reduction

The NR (Noise Reduction) function removes noise (both random and non-random) to provide clearer images. By combining 2D filtering according to brightness and image color, and 3D filtering according to noise caused by motion and time difference, lower noise images can be obtained for the corresponding image brightness of a moving subject. This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off. Level 1 applies to subject motion mainly using 2D filter effects. With level 5, 2D and 3D filter effects are maximized, providing the lowest-noise images, although moving subjects may show trails. At each level, two filters are set according to noise and image motion characteristics, so the available level selections depend on the situation. The default setting is level 3.

Image Stabilizer (EVI-D90N/P only)

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 of approximately 90% 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.

Note

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.

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode (EVI-D90N/P only)

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.

Auto ICR Mode (EVI-D90N/P only)

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.

Basic Functions

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 33).

When the installation location does not allow stable reception, try to install the camera farther away from the inverter lighting fixtures.

Others

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.

Memory (Position Preset)

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-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P, is called the peripheral device. The EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P serves as a peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/ D90P 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-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H.

packet.

Packet (3 to 16 bytes)

Message (1 to 14 bytes)Header

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3

The packet sent to the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the EVI-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P at X. The header of the reply packet from the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the EVI-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 2 is A0H. Some of the commands for setting EVI-D80N/D80P/ D90N/D90P 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

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.

 Error message

When a command or inquiry command could not

be executed or failed, an error message is returned instead of the completion message.

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P, 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-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received. When the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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 EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P. Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P correspond to one for the EVI-D70/P. However, some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P are different from those for the EVI-D70/P in definitions of parameters. When you send those commands to an EVI-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P whose D70 mode is set to ON, the camera translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to those for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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-



D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P 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-D80N/ D80P/D90N/D90P. 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.

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-D80N/D80P/D90N/

D90P 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.

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.
