Basic Functions

In general

Overview of Functions

• 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.

VISCA commands are the basis of camera control.

Timing Chart

• I/F clear

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.

Clears the Command buffer of the FCB 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.

However, the FCB camera does not support

connection of cameras in a daisy chain. Therefore,

whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be

sure to use the address set to confirm the address.

Basic Functions

- Normal AF Mode

This is the normal mode for AF operations.

Zoom

The FCB-EX980S/EX980SP/EX980/EX980P employs

a 26× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom

function; this camera allows you to zoom up to 312×.

- 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.

• Optical 26×, f = 3.5 to 91 mm (F 1.6 to F 3.8)

The horizontal angle of view is approximately 54.2

degrees (wide end) to 2.2 degrees (tele end).

- Zoom Trigger Mode

Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by

expanding each image in both the vertical and

horizontal directions. When 312× zoom is used, the

number of effective picture elements in each direction

reduces to ¹/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

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

stops.

AF sensitivity can be set to either Normal or LOW.

- Normal

You can activate the zoom in the following two ways

Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this

when shooting a subject that moves frequently.

Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.

- LOW

• By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the

camera itself

• Using a VISCA Command

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.

Using Standard Mode

Using Variable Mode

There are eight levels of zoom speed.

Direct Mode

• Manual Focus Mode

Setting the zoom position enables quick

movement to the designated position.

Digital Zoom ON/OFF

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.

In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary to

send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

• The Zoom Mode supports a Combined Mode and a

Separate Mode.

Combined Mode

• One Push Trigger 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

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.

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.

• 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 (35 mm).

Focus

Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set

using VISCA Commands.

• Auto Focus Mode

The minimum focus distance is 35 mm at the optical

wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end, and is

independent of the digital zoom.

The AutoFocus (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.

Basic Functions

• Bright

White Balance

Variable Iris and Gain (Close to F1.6, 17 steps at

0 dB: F1.6, 15 steps from 0 to 28 dB)

White Balance has the following modes, all of which

can be set using VISCA Commands.

AE – Shutter priority

• Auto White Balance

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.

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 factory setting.

Basic Functions

AE – Manual

The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain

(16 steps) can be set freely by the user.

When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the

Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter

Priority mode is maintained.

AE – Bright

Spot Exposure Mode

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.

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.

Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or

“Shutter Priority,” can you switch it to “Bright.”

Gain

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%, the rest

should be set to 10%. The range of the Spot AE frame

is fixed to 5 blocks vertically and 4 blocks

Basic Functions

Exposure Compensation

Auto ICR Mode

Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the

internal reference brightness level used in the AE

mode, by steps of 1.5 dB.

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.

malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue

and red colors are taken.

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.

When the ICR Cut-Filter is ON, the image becomes

black and white.

Basic Functions

Memory (Position preset)

Camera ID

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.

The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this

Custom Preset

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.

As with the positon preset function, the camera

shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The

settings are recalled when the power is turned on. For

setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Custom Preset

and Backup” section on page 33.

User Memory Area

A user area of 16 bytes allows you to write data, such

as an ID for each customer, data for each system, and

so on, freely.

The Image Stabilizer Function

When the Image Stabilizer Function is ON, it helps in

obtaining a stable image free of vibration caused by

jarring movements. For a vibration frequency of

around 10 Hz, correction is approximately 90%.

Note

Rewriting of memory is not unlimited. Be careful to avoid using

the memory area for such as unnecessary tasks as rewriting the

contents of the memory for every operation.

Note

Be advised that, when using systems equipped with Pan and Tilt

functions, quick starts and stops are corrected for, causing a

different movement from that of the normal image.

• External synchronization (V-Lock Synchronization)

When a TTL level V-Lock pulse is input, the camera

synchronizes to the input signal (V-lock

synchronization). The frequency of the input signal

synchronizes to within 1Hz of the external

synchronization.

Also, V-Phase phase adjustment can be carried out to

within 90 degrees due to the V-Lock phase

adjustment. In addition, 360 degree phase adjustment

is possible because you can switch between 0 degree

and 180 degree phases.

Basic Functions

Alarm Function

Grid

Use the grid displayed on the screen to set mask

positions (see the figure below).

By executing the Center Line On command, only the x

and y axes of the center are displayed. Grids lines

disappear.

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.

14hex (20(10))

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Characteristics

FCB-EX980S/EX980SP

FCB-EX980/EX980P

Eclipse of the Lens

The eclipse phenomenon occurs with the FCB-980/

980P. This is because a sufficient amount of aperture is

not available due to the CCD size and the lens

structure of the FCB-980/980P. However, it has been

verified that the eclipse will not be visible in the case

of a more than 90 % effective image.

Overview of VISCA

VISCA¹⁾/RS-232C

Commands

This Manual outlines an RS-232 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.

SONY DOES NOT WARRANT ANY PARTICULAR

RESULT FROM THE USE OF THIS CONTROL

PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST AND

DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL

WARRANTIES. EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH

RESPECT TO THAT CONTROL PROTOCOL AND

COMMAND LIST, INCLUDING, BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, ANY OR ALL IMPLIED

In VISCA, the device outputting commands, for

example, a computer, is called the controller. The

device receiving the commands, an FCB camera is

called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven

peripheral devices like the FCB camera can be

connected to one controller using communication

conforming to the RS-232C standard. The parameters

of RS-232C are as follows.

• Communication speed: 9.6 kbps/19.2 kbps/

38.4 kbps

• Data bits : 8

• Start bit : 1

• Stop bit : 1/2

• Non parity

Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is

not supported.

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN

FACT, SONY SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES

THAT SOFTWARE DEVELOPED BASED ON THIS

CONTROL PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST

MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE TO

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE USED WITH IT

(INCLUDING SONY HARDWARE AND

SOFTWARE) AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS

ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH

MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE. THIS CONTROL

PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST SHOULD BE

USED WITH CAUTION.

Command List

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.

VISCA Communication

Specifications

VISCA packet structure

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.

The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a

packet. 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

camera assigned address 1 from the controller (address

0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the camera

● ACK message

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.

Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a

command. No ACK message is returned for

inquiries.

● Completion message

Cancel

Returned by the FCB camera 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

An error message will be returned for this command,

but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has

been canceled.

X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8, Y = socket number

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the FCB camera,

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

FCB camera has two buffers (memories) for

commands, so that up to two commands including the

commands currently being executed can be received.

When the FCB camera 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 FCB camera 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.
