Features
The 1/2.8 type Exmor CMOS camera (utilising
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).
Adopts the industry standard RS-232C interface of
VISCA camera protocol in external communication.
It is possible to operate from long distances by using
both RS-232C and RS-422.
You can install the camera on ceilings due to the
functions of high-speed and wide range pan/tilt
action and vertical image flip.
You can use the infrared remote commander to set
the camera and also to select panning, tilting and

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.
10
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.

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

Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the
internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode
by steps of 1.5 dB.
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

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.

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

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

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 without adjusting the following items each
time.
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.
Camera ID
Pan/Tilt Position
The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this

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.

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
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.
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

VISCA Controller
VISCA Equipment
IN
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
IN
OUT
Communication speed: 9,600 bps/38,400 bps
Data bits : 8
Start bit : 1
Stop bit : 1
Non parity
IN
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.

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

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.

Pan/tilt speed
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
below (for reference).

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

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.
