Overview Features • The CMOS video camera provides 2,000,000 effective picture elements (pixels) that can shoot high-definition images to offer superior picture quality. • The camera is compatible with 8 formats, including the Full HD (1080i high definition) video format, which is equivalent to an HD-TV broadcast. HD: 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.
Overview Precautions Software Other Use of demonstration software developed by Sony Corporation or use of customer developed application software may damage hardware, the application program, or the camera. Sony Corporation is not liable for any damage that may occur under these conditions. Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or a fire may occur.

Basic Functions Basic Functions Overview of Functions Zoom VISCA commands are the basis of camera control. The camera employs an 10× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to zoom up to 120×. In general • 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-H11 camera.
Basic Functions 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 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 (extreme close-up settings with VISCA control) (distance from the front end of the lens).
Basic Functions Automatic Exposure Mode The variety of AE functions, which allow video signal to output the optimum image for subjects from low light conditions to bright light conditions, are available. • Full Auto Auto Iris and Gain, Fixed Shutter Speed (59.94/ NTSC: 1/60 s, 50/PAL: 1/50 s) • Slow shutter limit Lower limit of the slow shutter mode in the Full Auto mode. For the 59.94/NTSC video format, select the lower limit from among 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 4/1 or 1/2.
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) GAIN F No. 17 F1.8 18dB 16 F1.8 15dB 15 F1.8 12dB IRIS (F1.8) F No. parameter IRIS (F1.8) F No 14 F1.8 9dB F1.8 08 F8.0 13 F1.8 6dB 10 F2.0 07 F9.6 12 F1.8 3dB 0F F2.4 06 F11 11 F1.8 0dB 0E F2.8 05 F14 10 F2.0 0dB 0D F3.4 04 F16 0F F2.
Basic Functions rest should be set to 20%. The range of the Spot AE frame is fixed to 5 blocks vertically and 4 blocks horizontally. 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.
Basic Functions Gamma The settings are recalled when the power is turned on. Selects the desired gamma curve of the camera. • Normal Reproduces images with the standard video gamma curve. • Cinema Type 1 Reproduces images that look lively, providing depth in images as if you shot them using a film.
Basic Functions Eclipse When designing the housing, refer to the dimensional allowance as shown in the figure below. Vibration Specifications Test Method (Random vibration) • Fix the camera at the four fixation points of the base using M2 screws. • Perform the random vibration test under the following conditions in the X, Y and Z directions for 20 minutes in each direction. • The camera vibration specification is to have no malfunction after this test. 4.

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 side outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, while the side receiving the commands, such as an FCB-H11, is called the peripheral device. The FCB-H11 serves as a peripheral device in VISCA.
Command List VISCA Communication Specifications VISCA packet structure The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a packet (Fig.1). 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 FCB-H11 assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the FCB-H11 assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the FCB-H11 at X.
Command List Command and inquiry Socket number ● Command Sends operational commands to the FCB-H11. ● Inquiry Used for inquiring about the current state of the FCB-H11. When command messages are sent to the FCB-H11, 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 FCB-H11, 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.
