approximately 2 million valid pixels) allows for high-

definition shooting with superior picture quality.

The camera is equipped with a bright, F1.6 zoom lens

with 20× optical zoom.

By adopting its wide and dynamic range functions,

you can see the optimised shooting image which

incorporates bright and dark subjects at the same

time.

The camera has a variety of HD video format choices

and digital and analogue interface connectors. The

EVI-H100S camera has HD-SDI (High Definition-

Serial Digital Interface) output, suitable for long-

distance transmission. The EVI-H100V camera has a

DVI-I (VIDEO OUT) connector supporting both

digital and analogue output.



The camera can be used for NTSC and PAL output in

letter box size (EVI-H100S).

Basic Functions

Focus

Overview of Functions

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

using VISCA Commands.

Zoom

Auto Focus Mode



The camera employs a 20× optical zoom lens combined

with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to

zoom up to 240×.

The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical

wide end and 800 mm 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.

Optical 20×, f = 4.7 mm to 94.0 mm (F 1.6 to F 3.5)



The horizontal angle of view (1080i mode) is

approximately 55.4 degrees (wide end) to 2.9 degrees

(tele end).

Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by

expanding each image in both the vertical and

horizontal directions. When 240× zoom is used, the

number of effective picture elements in each direction

reduces to ¹/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

- 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.

You can activate the zoom in the following ways with 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

- Zoom Trigger Mode

When the zoom is changed, 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

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

send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

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.

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.

Basic Functions

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

Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

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.

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.

Shutter Priority¹⁾

Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain

(1/1 to 1/10,000 sec., 16 high-speed shutter speeds

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.

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.

Basic Functions

Exposure Ratio Mode

Back Light Compensation



This mode fixes the shutter speed of a long exposure.

Configure the shutter speed of a short exposure by

setting the ratio with regards to a long exposure with

the exposure ratio parameter.

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.

Blown-out highlight correction is not performed in

this mode.

Wide Dynamic Range Mode (WD)

Histogram Mode

This mode uses a histogram to correct blocked-up

shadows and blown-out highlights.



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.

Images with wide dynamic range are produced by

combining long-exposure signals (normal shutter) with

the signals of the high-intensity portions obtained with

a short exposure (high-speed shutter).

Parameter to use in the exposure ratio mode.

Specify the short exposure time by setting

the magnification ratio (×1 to ×64) with

regards to a long exposure time.

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

Notes

• When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, solarization 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.

• The frame rate during Wide Dynamic Range mode will be half of

that during standard mode.

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.

Example: When Wide Dynamic Range mode is ON in 1080/30P

mode, the frame rate is 15 fps.

Noise Reduction

The wide dynamic range mode includes the following

operation modes.

The NR (Noise Reduction) function removes noise

(both random and non-random) to provide clearer

images.

This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off.

The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain,

and this setting value determines the limit of the effect.

In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not

have an effect.

WD Mode



This mode corrects blocked-up shadows and blown-

out 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.

Basic Functions

High Sensitivity Mode

Custom Color Gain

In this mode, higher sensitivity gain is applied as

standard gain increases, reaching a gain level at MAX

gain of up to 4x the standard gain. In such cases,

however, there will be a high volume noise in the

image.

You can customize and configure the color gain. Use

this setting when bright color is particularly important.

The initial setting 100% (4h) can be set to range from

approx. 60% (Oh) to 200% (Eh) with 15 stages.

Custom Color Phase

Custom Gamma Mode

You can customize and configure the color phase.

The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between

approx. −14 degrees (0h) and +14 degrees (Eh), in

15 increments.

Gamma correction can be changed in this mode. The

following five options are available.

1: Standard

2: Straight gamma

3: S-curve - Low

Auto ICR Mode

4: S-curve - Mid

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.

5: S-curve - High

Tip

Blocked-up shadows in images will be more noticeable

than usual.

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 37).

The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.

For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Position Preset”

section on page 16.

Note

If the camera is placed on a desk, when you pan the

camera to the right or left beyond 120° with the camera

tilted downward by 20° (or tilted upward by 20° if it is

installed on a ceiling), the camera base may be

captured by the lens, depending on the zoom position

of the lens.

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.

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.”

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_

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.

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

VISCA Controller

VISCA Equipment

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-H100S/H100V, is called the peripheral device. The

EVI-H100S/H100V serves as a peripheral device in

VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like

the EVI-H100S/H100V can be connected to one

controller using communication conforming to the

RS-232C standard. The parameters of RS-232C are as

follows.

OUT

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.

OUT

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.

1)VISCA is a protocol which controls consumer camcorders developed by Sony. “VISCA” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Command List

sent to the EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is

82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input

the address of the EVI-H100S/H100V at X. The header

of the reply packet from the EVI-H100S/H100V

assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the

EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is A0H.

Some of the commands for setting EVI-H100S/H100V

units can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast).

In the case of broadcast, the header should be

hexadecimal 88H.

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-H100S/H100V assigned address 1 from the

controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet

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 the 1V cycle time, then

every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

D70 Mode

Overview

Switching the Mode

The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-H100S/

H100V using VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P.

Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/

H100V correspond to one for the EVI-D70/P. However,

some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/

H100V are different from those for the EVI-D70/P in

definitions of parameters.

You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching

the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-H100S/

H100V. 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.

When you send those commands to an EVI-H100S/

H100V whose D70 mode is set to ON, the camera

translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to those

for the EVI-H100S/H100V and executes the command.

The following parameters are subject to translation.

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.

Zoom position

Pan-tilt speed

Pan-tilt position

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.)



Notes

Even if you set the D70 mode to ON, the EVI-

H100S/H100V 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-H100S/H100V cannot be

executed.

Translating Parameters

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.

Zoom position

The camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens. There

are no translating parameters. The zoom ratio and

corresponding position data are as shown in the table

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

EVI-H100S/H100V whose

D70 mode is ON

Turns to the right side by 7.5 degrees.

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.
