Basic Functions Basic Functions Overview of Functions Zoom The EVI-D100/P uses an 10× optical zoom lens. And its digital zoom function allows you to zoom up to 40×. • Optical 10×, f = 3.1 to 31 mm (F 1.8 to F 2.9) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 65 degrees (wide end) to 6.6 degrees (tele end). Digital zoom increases the picture element size and reduces the resolution.
Basic Functions 1) The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting conditions, and occupying more than 1/2 of the image, is submitted to the camera. Selecting the One Push White Balance mode recalls the white balance data computed at the last One Push Trigger, if the BACKUP switch is set to ON and the camera has been connected to an AC outlet.
Basic Functions AE – Gain priority The gain can be set freely by the user to 8 steps between –3 dB and +18 dB. The shutter speed is fixed and the iris is set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject. Data Iris Gain Data Iris Gain 17 F1.8 18 dB 0B F4.8 0 dB 16 F1.8 15 dB 0A F5.6 0 dB 15 F1.8 12 dB 09 F6.8 0 dB 14 F1.8 9 dB 08 F8 0 dB 13 F1.8 6 dB 07 F9.6 0 dB Data Setting value 12 F1.8 3 dB 06 F11 0 dB 07 18 dB 11 F1.
Basic Functions Exposure Compensation Digital Effect Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode, by steps of 1.5 dB. Digital Effect consists of the following functions. They are all executed via the field memory. • Still: Moving Image on Still Image • Flash: Continuous Still Image • Lumi.: Moving Images on Binaried Still Image • Trail: Afterimage Lag of Moving Subject Data Step Setting value 0E 7 10.5 dB 0D 6 9 dB 0C 5 7.
Basic Functions Initial Values and Backup Initial values of functions of the EVI-D100/P are indicated in the “Initial values” column. An a in the “Backed up/Not backed up” column indicates that the setting is memorized in the camera. An × indicates that it is not.
Basic Functions Memory (Position Preset) Function You can save the camera settings and pan/tilt position using the supplied Remote Commander or the VISCA commands. Six channels are available.

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 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.
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-D100/P assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the EVI-D100/P assigned address 2 is 82H.
Command List Responses for commands and inquiries Command execution cancel ● ACK message Returned by the EVI-D100/P when it receives a command. No ACK message is returned for inquiries. To cancel a command which has already been sent, send the IF_Clear 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 EVI-D100/P when execution of commands or inquiries is completed.
Command List VISCA Device Setting Command Before starting control of the EVI-D100/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.

Command List D30/D31 Mode Overview Switching the Mode The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVID100/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/ D31. Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However, some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in definitions of parameters.
D30/31 Mode Command List Accepting or Sending Back Commands When accepting commands Type of command D30/D31 mode on Common to both the D30/D31 and Common parameters Accepts as is D30/D31 mode off D100/P Different parameters Translates the D30/D31’s parameters to those of the D100/P Accepts as is CAM_Memory Reset Memorized data items are erased and camera settings return to initial values Memorized data items are erased Refuses and sends back the Accepts as is Only for the D100/P NotExecutable

D30/31 Mode Command List Shutter speed Translation of commands The EVI-D100/P translates the D30/D31’s parameters to D100/P parameters in accordance with the table below.
D30/31 Mode Command List Pan/tilt speed The actual speed that is defined by the parameters corresponds to that of the EVI-D30/D31. When the camera accepts commands such as PantiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall, the operation speed is equal to the speed when the D30/ D31 mode is OFF.
