Overview Features • The CMOS image sensor allows highdefinition shooting with superior picture quality. • By adopting a direct drive mechanism, the highspeed pan/tilt movement of the camera head is so quiet it can be used in any noise sensitive environment. • The EVI-HD7V camera allows you to shoot moving objects in Full HD progressive scan for highresolution image output. The EVI-HD7V also allows output in the interlaced format used in HDTV broadcasts. Including 59.

Locations of Controls qa BOTTOM switches 1 Switch 1 (infrared remote commander signal output switch) Set to ON to enable output of the receiver signals, that are transmitted from the Remote Commander, from the VISCA IN connector, or set it to OFF to disable the output. 2 Switch 2 (Communication baud rate selector) Set to ON for 38,400 bps, or OFF for 9,600 bps. Note Set the communication baud rate before turning on the power.
Basic Functions Basic Functions Zoom Focus The camera employs an 10× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to zoom up to 40×. Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands. Lens specifications: Optical 10×, f = 3.4 to 33.9 mm (F1.8 to F2.1) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 70 degrees (wide end) to 8 degrees (tele end).
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 3,000 to 7,500 K. This mode is the default setting. • Spot light Avoids a situation where the face of the subject is over-illuminated, and becomes whitish.
Basic Functions AE – Iris Priority The iris can be set freely by the user to 18 steps between F1.8 and Close. The gain and shutter speed are set automatically according to the brightness of the subject. parameter IRIS (F1.8) F No. parameter Parameter IRIS (F1.8) GAIN F No. IRIS (F1.8) F No 11 F1.8 08 F8.0 10 F2.0 07 F9.6 0F F2.4 06 F11 0E F2.8 05 F14 0D F3.4 04 F16 0C F4.0 03 F19 0B F4.8 02 F22 0A F5.6 01 F26 09 F6.
Basic Functions 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.

Basic Functions Memory (Position Preset) Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.
Basic Functions Initial Settings and 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 “Yes,” those that will be lost are indicated by an “No.” • 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 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 EVIHD7V/HD3V, 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-HD7V/HD3V assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the EVI-HD7V/HD3V assigned address 2 is 82H.
Command List Command and inquiry Socket number ● Command Sends operational commands to the EVI-HD7V/HD3V. ● Inquiry Used for inquiring about the current state of the EVI-HD7V/HD3V. When command messages are sent to the EVI-HD7V/HD3V, 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-HD7V/HD3V, be sure to send the Address command and the IF_Clear command using the broadcast function. For VISCA network administration ● Address Set Sets an address of a peripheral device. Use when initializing the network, and receiving the following network change message.
