Basic Functions
Overview of Functions
Zoom
EVI-D80N/P:
The camera employs a 18× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera
allows you to zoom up to 216×.
• Optical 18×, f = 4.1 mm to 73.8 mm (F 1.4 to F 3.0)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48.0
degrees (wide end) to 2.8 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 216× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to 1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.
EVI-D90N/P:
The camera employs a 28× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera
allows you to zoom up to 336×.
Optical 28×, f = 3.5 mm to 98.0 mm (F 1.35 to F 3.7)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 55.8
degrees (wide end) to 2.1 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 336× zoom is used, the
number of effective picture elements in each direction
reduces to 1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways
By pressing the ZOOM buttons on the Remote
Commander
Using a VISCA Command
Using Standard Mode
Using Variable Mode
There are eight levels of zoom speed.
Direct Mode
Setting the zoom position enables quick
movement to the designated position.
Digital Zoom ON/OFF
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is
necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom
operation.
Focus
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set
using VISCA Commands.
Auto Focus Mode
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical
wide end and 800 mm (EVI-D80N/P), 1500 mm
(EVI-D90N/P) at the optical tele end, and is
independent of the digital zoom. The Auto Focus
(AF) function automatically adjusts the focus
position to maximise the high frequency content of
the picture in a center measurement area, taking into
consideration the high luminance and strong
contrast components.
- Normal AF Mode
This is the normal mode for AF operations.
- Interval AF Mode
The mode used for AF movements carried out at
particular intervals. The time intervals for AF
movements and for the timing of the stops can be
set in one-second increments using the Set Time
Command. The initial value for both is set to five
seconds.
- Zoom Trigger Mode
When the zoom is changed with the ZOOM
buttons on the Remote Commander, the pre-set
value (initially set at 5 seconds) becomes that for
AF Mode. Then, it stops.
AF sensitivity can be set to either Normal or LOW.
- Normal
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.
- LOW
Improves the stability of the focus. When the
lighting level is low, the AF function does not take
effect, even though the brightness varies,
contributing to a stable image.

Basic Functions
Manual Focus Mode
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.
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is
necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom
operation.
One Push Trigger Mode
When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to
adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then
holds that position until the next Trigger Command
is input.
Infinity Mode
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for
an unlimited distance.
Near Limit Mode
Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to C000
(10 mm).
Default setting (EVI-D80N/P): 8000h (29 cm)
Default setting (EVI-D90N/P): 9000h (30 cm)
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.
Indoor
3,200 K Base Mode
Outdoor
5,800 K Base Mode
One Push WB
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 captured by the camera.
One Push White Balance data is lost when the power
is turned off. If the power is turned off, reset the One
Push White Balance.
Manual WB
Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each
Automatic Exposure Mode
A variety of AE functions are available for optimal
output of subjects in lighting conditions that range
from low to high.
Full Auto
Exposure is adjusted automatically by gain, iris and
electronic shutter setting.
AE Gain Limit Setting
The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter
Priority and Iris Priority in the AE mode. Use this
setting when image signal-to-noise ratio is
particularly important.

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 1/30s,
1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1/1s. 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 1/10,000s. The iris and gain are set automatically,
according to the brightness of the subject.

AE – Manual
The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain
(16 steps) can be set freely by the user.
AE – Bright
The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris
using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness
level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by
gain when dark, and by iris when bright.
As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when
exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching
from Full Auto or Shutter Priority Mode to Bright
Mode, the current status will be retained for a short
period of time.
Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or
“Shutter Priority,” can you switch it to “Bright.”

02 –5 –7.5 dB
01 -6 -9 dB
00 -7 -10.5 dB
High Resolution Mode
A newly developed ISP function enables the filtering
of signals. This allows the camera to provide images
with a high resolution.
Aperture Control
Aperture control is a function which adjusts the
enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture.
There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from “no
enhancement.” When shooting text, this control may
help by making the text sharper.
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.
Wide Dynamic Range Mode (WD) (EVI-D90N/P
only)
The Wide Dynamic Range mode is a function for
dividing an image into several blocks and correcting
blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights in
accordance with the intensity difference. It enables you
to obtain images in which portions ranging from dark
to light can be recognized, even when capturing a
subject with a large intensity difference that is backlit
or includes extremely light portions.
A CCD for shooting a wide dynamic range is
employed, and a newly developed image signal
processor combines a long exposure signal (normal
shutter) and a signal of the high intensity portions
obtained by a short exposure (high-speed shutter) to
achieve images with a wide dynamic range.
Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode
The wide dynamic range can be set to be automatically
switched ON/OFF in accordance with the intensity
difference obtained by dividing an image into several
blocks and then averaging the intensity of each block.
Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode
Auto On/Off
When the intensity
difference between the
dark portions and light
portions of a subject
becomes large because
of back lighting or the
like, the wide dynamic
range mode is switched
ON.
When the subject
changes and the
intensity difference
between the dark
portions and light
portions becomes
small, the wide dynamic
range mode is switched
OFF.
12
Basic Functions
The wide dynamic range mode includes the following
operation modes.
WD Mode
This mode corrects blocked-up shadows and
blownout highlights in accordance with the intensity
difference.
WD Auto ON/OFF Mode
This mode switches WD ON/OFF automatically in
accordance with the intensity difference of the
subject. Configure the sensitivity for when WD is
switched from OFF to ON with the detection
sensitivity parameter.
Exposure Ratio Mode
This mode fixes the shutter speed of a short
exposure. Configure the shutter speed of a long
exposure by setting the ratio with regards to a short
exposure with the exposure ratio parameter.
Blocked-up shadow correction is not performed in
this mode.
Histogram Mode
This mode uses a histogram to correct blocked-up
shadows and blown-out highlights.

Note
When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, solariza-
tion may be observed in the images of some subjects.
This phenomenon is unique to wide dynamic range
mode, and is not an indication of a camera
malfunction.
Noise Reduction
The NR (Noise Reduction) function removes noise
(both random and non-random) to provide clearer
images. By combining 2D filtering according to
brightness and image color, and 3D filtering according
to noise caused by motion and time difference, lower
noise images can be obtained for the corresponding
image brightness of a moving subject.
This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off.
Level 1 applies to subject motion mainly using 2D
filter effects. With level 5, 2D and 3D filter effects are
maximized, providing the lowest-noise images,
although moving subjects may show trails.
At each level, two filters are set according to noise and
image motion characteristics, so the available level
selections depend on the situation. The default setting
is level 3.
Image Stabilizer (EVI-D90N/P only)
Switching ON the Image Stabilizer function reduces
image blurring caused by, for example, vibration,
which allows you to obtain images without much
blurring. A correction effect of approximately 90% is
possible for a vibration frequency of around 10 Hz.
The Image Stabilizer function employs the digital
zoom system, so the angle of view and resolution are
changed, but the sensitivity is maintained.
Hold Function of Image Stabilizer
With the Image Stabilizer function, suddenly stopping
high-speed movement (pan, tilt, etc.) of the camera
produces a blur sensor counteraction that may cause
image movement. In such a case, you can use a
command setting (hold) to maintain the correction of
the Image Stabilizer function. In this case the image
stabilizer is off, but there is no change in the angle of
view.

Basic Functions
Slow shutter – Auto/Manual
When set to “Auto,” ensures that the slow shutter is set
automatically when the brightness drops. Effective
only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”
Set to “Slow Shutter Manual” at shipment.
Note
The Slow Shutter Auto function is not available in WD
mode
ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode (EVI-D90N/P
only)
An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the
image path for increased sensitivity in low light
environments. The ICR will automatically engage
depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to
be effective in day/night environments.
When the auto ICR mode is set to ON, the image
becomes black and white.
Auto ICR Mode (EVI-D90N/P only)
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.
Auto ICR Mode operates with the AE Full Auto
setting.

Signals from the IR Remote Commander
The supplied Remote Commander may not work
correctly near inverter lighting fixtures. Good IR
detection can be verified to determine proper camera
location.
While the camera is being initialized after the power is
turned on by connecting the camera to an AC outlet
using the AC power adaptor and AC power cord, or by
using a VISCA command, the camera detects whether
or not the camera is able to receive infrared signals
from the Remote Commander. You can check the result
of this operation via the IR_ConditionInq command
(see page 33).
When the installation location does not allow stable
reception, try to install the camera farther away from
the inverter lighting fixtures.
Others
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 and POWER of the Remote
Commander; the display and other features are turned
off.
I/F clear
Clears the Command buffer of the camera. Clearing
the buffer can also be carried out from the control
application software when the power is on.
Address set
VISCA is a protocol, which normally can support a
daisy chain of up to seven attached devices. Therefore,
whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be
sure to use the address set to confirm the address.
15
Basic Functions
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.
When a CAM_Memory Reset command is sent, or a
choice is made from POSITION 1 to 6 while the
RESET button on the Remote Commander is being
pressed, the settings selected will be used as the
initial settings.
Position preset 1 becomes VISCA command CAM_
Memory memory number 0. Position presets 2
through 6 become VISCA command CAM_Memory
memory numbers 1 through 5.

Notes
The number of times data can be written to the EEPROM (by executing Position Preset) is limited.
If you want the camera status and Pan/Tilt positions in effect before the camera is turned off to be retained when the power
is turned OFF, then turned ON again, have the camera memorize those positions in POSITION 1.
It takes approximately 2 seconds longer to memorize or erase settings in POSITION 1 than it does to memorize or erase
settings in any other channel.
Camera ID data will be saved regardless of the position preset.
If IMAGE FLIP or D70 mode has been switched, all of the Position Presets are reset to their initial values.

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
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P, is called the peripheral
device. The EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P serves as a
peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven
peripheral devices like the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/
D90P can be connected to one controller using
communication conforming to the RS-232C standard.
The parameters of RS-232C are as follows.
Communication speed: 9,600 bps/38,400 bps
Data bits : 8
Start bit : 1
Stop bit : 1
Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is
not supported.
Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As
shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a one-
direction ring, so that messages return to the controller
via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network
are assigned addresses.
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. The
address of the peripheral device is set by sending
address commands during the initialization of the
network.
The VISCA devices each have a VISCA IN and VISCA
OUT connector.
Set the DSR input (the DTR output of the controller) of
VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment
from the controller.

Command List
Fig. 3 Actual waveform for 1 byte.
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 the 1V cycle time, then
every 1V cycle can receive a Command.
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-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 1
from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H.
The packet sent to the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the
header is 8X, input the address of the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P at X. The header of the reply packet
from the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P assigned
address 1 is 90H. The packet from the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P assigned address 2 is A0H.
Some of the commands for setting EVI-D80N/D80P/
D90N/D90P units 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.

ACK message
Returned by the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
when it receives a command. No ACK message is
returned for inquiries.
Completion message
Returned by the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
when execution of commands or inquiries is
completed. In the case of inquiry commands, it will
contain reply data for the inquiry after the 3rd byte
of the packet. If the ACK message is omitted, the
socket number will contain a 0.

When a command or inquiry command could not
be executed or failed, an error message is returned
instead of the completion message.
Error Packet Description

X = 9 to F: EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P address + 8, Y = socket number
Socket number
When command messages are sent to the
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P, it is normal to send the
next command message after waiting for the
completion message or error message to return.
However to deal with advanced uses, the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P has two buffers (memories) for
commands, so that up to two commands including the
commands currently being executed can be received.
When the
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P receives commands, it
notifies the sender which command buffer was used
using the socket number of the ACK message.
As the completion message or error message also has a
socket number, it indicates which command has ended.
Even when two command buffers are being used at any
one time, an EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
management command and some inquiry messages
can be executed.
The ACK message is not returned for these commands
and inquiries, and only the completion message of
socket number 0 is returned.
The following command use two sockets during
execution of each command that is sent. The
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P cannot receive other
requests during execution of these commands. In
addition, these commands cannot be executed during
operation of other commands.

Overview
The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P using VISCA commands for the
EVI-D70/P. Most of the VISCA commands for the
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P correspond to one for
the EVI-D70/P. However, some of the VISCA
commands for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P are
different from those for the EVI-D70/P in definitions
of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P whose D70 mode is set to ON, the
camera translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to
those for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P and
executes the command. The following parameters are
subject to translation.
Zoom position
Pan-tilt speed
Pan-tilt position
Notes
Even if you set the D70 mode to ON, the EVI-
D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P may not emulate the
EVI-D70/P perfectly. This is caused by differences
in hardware between the two models.
The functions that are provided with the EVI-D70/
P but not with the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
cannot be executed.
Switching the Mode
You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching
the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P. To change the D70 mode setting,
move the BOTTOM switch to ON or OFF while the
camera’s power is off or the camera is in standby mode.
Then, turn the power on by connecting the camera to
an AC outlet or by using the VISCA commands or the
Remote Commander.
It takes about 7-16 seconds for the image to be
displayed after Pan/Tilt initialization motion has
stopped.
Do not turn off DC power until the image has been
displayed.
The mode will not change if you change the switch
setting of the BOTTOM switch after the power has
been turned on.
After you change the mode, previously saved position
preset data will be lost. (Zoom, Pan/Tilt positions, etc.
will be reset to their initial settings.)

Pan/tilt speed
The actual speed that is defined by the parameters
corresponds to that of the D70.
When the camera receives commands such as
PantiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall,
that do not include speed indications, these operations
are carried out at the same speed as they would be
when the D70 mode is set to OFF.

Translation when answering inquiry commands
The camera sends back values that are calculated by
inverse conversion performed when the camera accepts
commands.
Note
Repetitive use of the Absolute position command may
increase the variance that is accumulated from
translation.
Example
When you execute the Relative position command
100 times, one step after another to turn the camera to
the right side:
Cameras Results
EVI-D70/P Turns to the right side by 7.5 degrees.
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/
D90P whose D70 mode is ON
Turns to the right side by 6.6 degrees.
For Absolute Position commands, the permissible
range for drive settings are the same as those for the
EVI-D70/P.
Pan direction: –170 degrees to + 170 degrees.
Tilt direction: –20 degrees to + 90 degrees.
