Overview Features • An EXview HAD CCD provides 380,000 (EVI-D70)/ 410,000 (EVI-D70P) effective picture elements (pixels) enabling high-resolution imaging with this camera. • The use of VISCA commands allows you to control the camera from a computer. • High-speed, wide angle PAN and TILT functions and Image Flip (turning the displayed image upside down) allow the unit to be mounted on the ceiling, broadening the range of uses for this versatile camera.

Basic Functions Basic Functions Zoom Focus The camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to zoom up to 216×. Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands. 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 2.7 degrees (tele end).
Basic Functions To avoid AF error from continuous 24 hour AF mode usage, daily initialization of lens system using the CAM_Initialize command is recommended. The CAM_Initialize command takes less than 3 seconds to initialize the focus and zoom. • Manual Focus Mode MF (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.
Basic Functions 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 1/30, 1 /15, 1/8, or 1/4 s. The picture output is read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate from the CCD. AF capability is low. In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to 1 /10,000 s. The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.
Basic Functions When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter Priority mode is maintained. 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.
Basic Functions Note 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.
Basic Functions 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. AutoPowerOff If an operation is not attempted via either a VISCA command or the remote controller during a pre-set time period (from 1 to 65,535 minutes), the power will automatically turn off (Standby). To disable this function, set the time period to 0 minutes.
Basic Functions Title Display Alarm Function The camera can be given a title containing up to 20 characters such as “ENTRANCE” or “LOBBY”. The position of the first character (horizontal, vertical) of the title, blinking state, and color can also be changed. 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.

Basic Functions Initial Settings, Position Preset The initial values are those set at the factory. Settings for items in Position presets 1 to 6 that will be retained even when the power to the camera is turned off are indicated by a “O,” those that will be lost are indicated by an “X.” • When the power is turned on, the settings retained in POSITION 1 will be called up as the initial settings.

Command List Command List VISCA1) RS-232C/RS422 Commands Use of RS-232C/RS-422 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 side outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, while the side receiving the commands, such as an EVI-D70/P, is called the peripheral device.
Command List 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-D70/P assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the EVI-D70/P assigned address 2 is 82H.
Command List Command and inquiry Socket number ● Command Sends operational commands to the EVI-D70/P. ● Inquiry Used for inquiring about the current state of the EVI-D70/P. When command messages are sent to the EVI-D70/P, it is normal to send the next command message after waiting for the completion message or error message to return.
Command List VISCA Device Setting Command Before starting control of the EVI-D70/P, 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.

D30/31 Mode D30/D31 Mode Overview Switching the Mode The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVID70/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/D31. Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However, some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in definitions of parameters.
