Overview Features • The FCB camera is equipped with a CCD which adopts the all-pixel read-out method for all 330,000 effective picture elements “progressive scan” and the primary color filter, enabling use of square pixels. The adoption of this type of CCD enables the high resolution and high color reproduction of this camera. Thus, this is an ideal camera for use in capturing digital images. • 10× optical zoom. • Digital data output, supporting three output modes.
Overview Precautions Software Use of the demonstration software developed by Sony Corporation or use of the software with customer developed application software may damage hardware, the application program or the camera. Sony Corporation is not liable for any damages under these conditions. Operation Start the camera control software on your computer after you turn on the camera and the image is displayed. Operation and Storage Locations Do not shoot images that are extremely bright (e.g.
Locations of Controls Front Right side Bottom 1 Lens 2 CN701 connector 3 CN501 connector 4 S501 Switch Used to change the output mode between 16-bit and 8-bit output modes. 5 Tripod screw holes When a tripod is used, please use 10 mm (13/32 in.) screws to attach it to the camera. Also, please be sure to attach the tripod securely.
Basic Functions Basic Functions Overview of Functions VISCA commands are the basis of camera control. 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 the1V cycle time, then every 1V cycle can receive a Command. General Commands Commands • Power On/Off Powers the camera on and off.
Basic Functions Zoom The FCB camera employs an 10× optical zoom lens. Lens specifications: Optical 10×, f = 4.2 to 42 mm (F1.8 to F2.9) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 46 degrees (wide end) to 4.6 degrees (tele end). You can activate the zoom in the following two ways: • By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the camera itself. • Using a VISCA Command Using Standard Mode Using Variable Mode There are eight levels of zoom speed.
Basic Functions White Balance White Balance has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands. • Auto White Balance Auto white balance obtains the proper color reproduction by automatically adjusting white balance to ensure a white object always looks white. This function computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen.
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. Data 11 10 0F 0E 0D 0C 0B 0A 09 Setting value F1.8 F2.0 F2.4 F2.8 F3.4 F4.0 F4.8 F5.6 F6.8 Data 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 Setting value F8 F9.6 F11 F14 F16 F19 F22 F28 CLOSE AE – Manual The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain (16 steps) can be set freely by the user.
Basic Functions Exposure Compensation Effect Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode by steps of 1.5 dB. It consists of the following function. • Black White: Monochrome Image Data Step Setting value 0E 7 10.5 dB 0D 6 9 dB 0C 5 7.5 dB 0B 4 6 dB 0A 3 4.5 dB 09 2 3 dB 08 1 1.5 dB 07 0 0 dB 06 –1 –1.5 dB 05 –2 –3 dB 04 –3 –4.5 dB 03 –4 –6 dB 02 –5 –7.5 dB 01 –6 –9 dB 00 –7 –10.
Basic Functions Digital Image Output Modes Three kinds of digital image output modes are available. Also, 30 fps and 25 fps modes are available for each of these digital image output modes. In total, six digital image output modes are supported. I/F mode Output SYNC Frame rate Clock 16bit Progressive YUV HSYNC/ VSYNC 29.97 fps / 25.0 fps 13.5 MHz YUV HSYNC/ VSYNC 29.97 fps / 25.0 fps 27.0 MHz 8-bit 4:2:2 SAV/EAV 29.97 fps / 25.0 fps 27.
Basic Functions Title Display 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.
Basic Functions Privacy Zone Function Features Privacy Zone masking protects private objects and areas such as house windows, entrances, and exits which are within the camera’s range of vision but not subject to surveillance. Privacy zone masking can be masked on the monitor to protect privacy. • Mask can be set on up to 24 places according to Pan/ Tilt positions. • Mask can be displayed on 8 places per screen simultaneously. • Privacy Zones are displayed according to priority in alphabetical order.

Command List Command List VISCA1)/RS-232C Commands This Manual outlines an RS-232C control protocol and command list for certain Sony cameras from which control software can be developed. THIS CONTROL PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST IS PROVIDED BY SONY ON AN “AS-IS BASIS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
Command List VISCA Communication Specifications assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the camera at X. The header of the reply packet from the camera assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the camera assigned address 2 is A0H. Some of the commands for setting cameras 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 packet.
Command List Responses for Commands and Inquiries Command Execution Cancel ● ACK message Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a command. No ACK message is returned for inquiries. To cancel a command which has already been sent, send the Cancel command as the next command. To cancel one of any two commands which have been sent, use the cancel message. ● Completion message Returned by the FCB camera when execution of commands or inquiries is completed.
Command List VISCA Device Setting Command Before starting control of the FCB camera, 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 when receiving the network change message indicated below. VISCA Interface and Inquiry ● CAM_VersionInq Returns information on the VISCA interface.
