Basic Functions
Basic Functions
Zoom
The camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to
zoom up to 216×.
Lens specifications: Optical 18×, f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm
(F1.4 to F3.0)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48
degrees (wide end) to 2.7 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 12× digital 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 TELE or WIDE 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 a “Stop Command” to stop the zoom operation.
• The Zoom Mode supports a Combined Mode and a
Separate Mode.
Combined Mode
This is the previously existing zoom method.
After the optical zoom has reached its maximum
level, the camera switches to Digital Zoom Mode.
Separate Mode
In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom can
be operated separately. You can use digital zoom
magnification at any time from within any level of
optical magnification.
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 (extreme close-up settings with VISCA
control) and 800 mm at the optical tele end (distance
from the front end of the lens), and is independent of
the digital zoom.
The AutoFocus (AF) function automatically adjusts
the focus position to maximize 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
defined 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 TELE or the
WIDE buttons, the pre-set value (initially set at 5
seconds) becomes that for AF Mode. Then, it
returns to Manual Focus mode.
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.
8
Basic Functions
To avoid AF error from continuous 24 hour AF
mode usage, daily initialization of lens system
using the CAM_Initialize command is
recommended.
The CAM_Initialize command takes less than 3
seconds to initialize the focus and zoom.
• Manual Focus Mode
MF (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.
Will not stop by this command itself in Standard
Speed Mode and Variable Speed Mode. To stop, a
Stop command must be sent.
• One Push Trigger Mode
When a Trigger Command is received, the lens
moves to adjust the focus for the subject. The focus
lens then holds the same 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).
The focus range is narrowed by excluding the
unnecessary range.
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 3000 to 7500K.
This mode is the default setting.
• ATW
Auto Tracing White balance (2000 to 10000 K)
• Indoor
3200 K Base Mode
• Outdoor
5800 K Base Mode
1) Flicker can be eliminated by setting shutter to:
t1/100 s for NTSC models used in countries with a 50 Hz power supply
frequency.
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
t1/120 s for PAL models used in countries with a 60 Hz power supply
frequency.
• 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 submitted to 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

Basic Functions
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 1/30,
1/15, 1/8, or 1/4 s. 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
1/10,000 s. The iris and gain are set automatically,
according to the brightness of the subject.
a) For AE-Manual only.
Note
When the shutter speed 1/1 s or 1/2 s is used, Auto
Focus and White Balance may not function fully.
AE – Iris Priority
The iris can be set freely by the user to 18 steps
between F1.4 and Close.
The gain and shutter speed 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 the 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,” the user can switch it to “Bright.”

Basic Functions
When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the
Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter
Priority mode is maintained.
Spot Exposure Mode
In Full Auto AE, the level for the entire screen is
computed and the optimum Auto Iris and Gain levels
are determined. In Spot AE, a particular section of the
subject can be designated, and then that portion of the
image can be weighted and a value computed so that
Iris and Gain can be optimized to obtain an image.
For example, in an image with a lot of movement and
with varying levels of brightness, portions without
much change can be designated as such a “spot,” and
changes to the screen can be minimized in that area.
As shown in the diagram below, a range of 16 blocks
vertically and 16 blocks horizontally can be
designated.
In the case where the center is designated (shown in
black), the level is computed along with a weighted
value for the surrounding block (shaded), including the
specified portions; and then the Gain and Iris are set.
The value of the designated portions and the
surrounding areas should be calculated as 90% and the
rest should be set to 10%.

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.
Slow Shutter – Auto/Manual
When the Slow Shutter is set to “Auto,” this ensures
that the slow shutter is engaged automatically when the
brightness drops. This occurs only when the AE mode
is set to “Full Auto.”
“Slow Shutter Manual” is the factory setting.
ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode
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.
If you normally set the IR Cut-Filter to OFF, the image
will be black and white (monochrome).

Note
When in Auto_ICR_OFF state and WB data is added (default), a
malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue
and green colors are taken. Auto ICR is available in AE-full-auto
state only.
Camera ID
The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside
the camera, data will be saved, regardless of the
“position preset.”
Effect
It consists of the following functions.
• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal
• Black White: Monochrome Image
Others
IMAGE FLIP
The image output by the camera is flipped upside
down, and the direction of Pan/Tilt movements are
reversed using the IMAGE FLIP switch on the back of
the unit.
Mirror Image
This function reverses the video output from the
camera horizontally.
Freeze
This function captures an image in the field memory of
the camera so that this image can be output
continuously.
Because communication inside the camera is based on V
cycle, the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after
the sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time
period after sending EVEN, ODD or a Command.
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.
12
Basic Functions
Mute
Blanks the screen and sends out a synchronizing
signal.
Lens Initialization
Initializes the zoom and focus of the lens. Even when
power is already on, it initializes the zoom and the
focus.
AutoPowerOff
If an operation is not attempted via either a VISCA
command or the remote controller during a pre-set
time period (from 1 to 65,535 minutes), the power will
automatically turn off (Standby). To disable this
function, set the time period to 0 minutes.
NightPowerOff
When the Alarm function operates in DayNight mode,
and the unit judges that it is night, if an operation is not
attempted via either a VISCA command or the remote
controller during a pre-set time period (from 1 to
65,535 minutes), the power will automatically turn off
(Standby). To disable this function, set the time period
to 0 minutes.
When the DayNight level is set correctly (the Day
level > the Night level), the Alarm function can only
be set when the unit is operated in DayNight mode.
For information on DayNight mode settings, see pages 13,
14, and 24.
AutoPowerOff and NightPowerOff can be used at the
same time.
However, if the criteria for both are fulfilled at the
same time, the shorter of the two time periods until
shut down will be used to turn the power off
(Standby).
Memory (Position Preset)
Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.
This function allows you to achieve the desired status
instantly even without adjusting the following items
each time:
•Pan-Tilt position
•Zoom Position
•Digital Zoom On/Off
•Focus Auto/Manual
•Focus Position
•AE Mode
•Shutter control parameters
•Bright Control
•Iris control parameters
•Gain control parameters
•Exposure Compensation On/Off
•Exposure Level
•Backlight Compensation On/Off
•Slow Shutter Auto/Manual
•White Balance Mode
•R/B Gain
•Aperture

Alarm Function
This function instructs the camera to detect movement
within the monitoring area and then send an alarm
signal automatically.
A High level signal is output when camera detects
movement inside the monitoring area. A Low level
signal is output when object stops moving.
However, when the mode is set to “DAY/NIGHT”, the
High level signal is output for dark and the Low level
signal is output for bright.
The Detect signal goes out through the serial command
(VISCA) communication line.
Example
1. A door is motionless, so the Detect Level is Low.
2. At the moment when the door is opened by
someone, the Detect Level goes to High.
3. The Detect Level is High while the shooting object
is moving.
4. When the door is closed, Detect Level goes to Low
again, or signals are output only once at the time of
switching between High Level and Low Level.

00 Set the internal focus position. When focus movement is detected, the detect signal is High. When focus goes
back to the previous position, the detect signal is Low.
01 Set a fixed period of time. When focus does not move during the time, the focus position is memorized as a
rest position and the detect signal is Low.
When focus moves, the detect signal is High. Afterwards when focus does not move for the fixed period of
time, the focus position is memorized and the detect signal becomes Low.
02 Set the internal AE Level. When AE movement is detected, the detect signal is High. When AE Level goes
back to the previous level, the detect signal is Low.
03 Set a fixed period of time. When AE Level does not change during this time, the AE value is memorized as a
rest value and the detect signal is Low.
When AE value changes, the detect signal is High.
Afterwards when AE value does not change for the fixed period of time, the AE value is memorized and the
detect signal becomes Low.

•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 D30/D31 mode has been switched, all of the Position Presets are reset to their
initial values.
• In D30/D31 mode, the functions of the EVI-D30/D31 are the functions that are memorized.

VISCA1) RS-232C/RS-
422 Commands
Use of RS-232C/RS-422 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 EVI-D70/P, is
called the peripheral device. The EVI-D70/P serves as
a peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven
peripheral devices like the EVI-D70/P can be
connected to one controller using communication
conforming to the RS-232C/RS-422 standard. The
parameters of RS-232C/422 are as follows.
• Communication speed: 9600 bps/38400 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 DTR input (the S output of the controller) of
VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment
from 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-D70/P assigned address 1 from the
controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet
sent to the EVI-D70/P assigned address 2 is 82H. In
the command list, as the header is 8X, input the
address of the EVI-D70/P at X. The header of the reply
packet from the EVI-D70/P assigned address 1 is 90H.
The packet from the EVI-D70/P assigned address 2 is
A0H.
Some of the commands for setting EVI-D70/P 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.
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.
From this point, if 2 or more commands in a row are to
be sent, wait for the first command (for normal
commands, an ACK or an error message, for query
commands, an Inquiry Packet) to be carried out before
sending the next one.

Responses for commands and inquiries
●ACK message
Returned by the EVI-D70/P when it receives a
command. No ACK message is returned for
inquiries.
●Completion message
Returned by the EVI-D70/P 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.
Reply Packet Note
Ack X0 4Y FF Y = socket number
Completion (commands) X0 5Y FF Y = socket number
Completion (Inquiries) X0 5Y ... FF Y = socket number
X = 9 to F: EVI-D70/P address + 8
●Error message
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
X0 6Y 01 FF Message length error (>14 bytes)
X0 6Y 02 FF Syntax Error
X0 6Y 03 FF Command buffer full
X0 6Y 04 FF Command cancelled
X0 6Y 05 FF No socket (to be cancelled)
X0 6Y 41 FF Command not executable
X = 9 to F: EVI-D70/P address + 8, Y = socket number
Socket number
When command messages are sent to the EVI-D70/P,
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-D70/P has two buffers (memories) for commands,
so that up to two commands including the commands
currently being executed can be received. When the
EVI-D70/P 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-D70/P 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.
Command execution cancel
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.
Cancel Packet Note
Cancel 8X 2Y FF Y = socket number
X = 1 to 7: EVI-D70/P address, Y = socket number
The Command canceled error message will be returned
for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates
that the command has been canceled.

D30/31 Mode
D30/D31 Mode
Overview
The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVI-
D70/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/D31.
Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P
correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However,
some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P are
different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in
definitions of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-D70/P
whose D30/D31 mode is set to ON, the camera
translates the parameters for the EVI-D30/D31 to those
for the EVI-D70/P and executes the command. The
following parameters are subject to translation.
•Zoom speed
•Zoom position
•Focus position
•Shutter speed
•Pan-tilt speed
•Pan-tilt position
•Iris
•Gain
Notes
•Even if you set the D30/D31 mode to ON, the EVI-
D70/P may not emulate the EVI-D30/D31 perfectly.
This is caused by differences in hardware between
the two models.
•The functions that are provided with the EVI-D30/
D31 but not with the EVI-D70/P cannot be executed.
Switching the Mode
You can switch the D30/D31 mode ON or OFF by
switching the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the
EVI-D70/P. To change the D30/D31 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 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.)

D30/31 Mode
The D70/P parameters that correspond to the Wide and
the Tele end of the D30/D31 are approximately 0000h
and 3B4Bh. However, at the Wide end, the horizontal
viewing angles are 48.8˚ for the D30/D31, and 48.0˚
for the D70/P.
Received parameters (0000h ~ 03FFh) will be
converted within a range of 0000h to 3B4Bh. For D30/
D31 mode, the setting will normally be Digital Zoom
OFF
However, for CAM Zoom Tele/Wide commands and
operations from the remote control, movement within
the over all limits of the D70/P Zoom (0000h ~ 7AC0/
77C0h) is possible.

Translation of commands
Accepted parameters Translation
0000h to 03FFh Translates within a rage of 08D0h to 5700h
The EVI-D70/P translates the parameters to let the
camera obtain the same zoom position that is defined
by the D30/D31’s parameter.
(The values given below are calculated values.)
Translation when answering inquiry
commands
Parameters Translation
0000h to 4000h Translates within a rage of 0000h to 03FFh
The D70/P’s parameters are translated to those of the
D30/D31.
However, even if the zoom position value is less than
08D0h (closer to the wide side), the camera sends back
0000h to the controller. On the other hand, even if that
value is greater than 3B4Bh (closer to the telephoto
side), the camera sends back 03FFh.
Focus position
Cameras Parameters
EVI-D30/D31 1000h (FAR) to 9FFFh (NEAR, 1 cm)
EVI-D70/P 1000h (FAR) to C000h (NEAR, 10 cm)
Translation of commands
Accepted parameters Translation
Values less than 8400h Accepts as is
Values greater than 8400h Translates to 8400h
Because the range of the D70/P is narrower than that
of the D30/D31, emulation is not carried out to match
the actual focus position (focal point) to that of the
D30/D31.
The EVI-D70/P operational range of (1000h (FAR) ~
C000h (NEAR, 1cm)) is emulated within the

The EVI-D70/P translates its parameters to the D30/
D31’s parameters and sends them back. However,
during the period from the instant the camera accepts
the CAM_Shutter Direct command to the instant the
camera accepts another CAM_Shutter or CAM_AE
command, it sends back the current D30/D31
parameters.

Pan/tilt speed
The actual speed that is defined by the parameters
corresponds to that of the EVI-D30/D31.
When the camera receives commands such as Pan-
tiltDrive 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 D30/D31 mode is set to OFF.

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 88
times, one step after another to turn the camera to the
right side:
Cameras Results
EVI-D30/D31 Turns to the right side by 10 degrees.
