Basic Functions  
Zoom  
Focus  
The camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens  
combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to  
zoom up to 216×.  
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.  
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.  
- Normal AF Mode  
This is the normal mode for AF operations.  
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways:  
- 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.  
• 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  
- 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.  
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary  
to send a “Stop Command” to stop the zoom operation.  
- 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.  
• 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.

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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• Manual WB  
Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each  
Automatic Exposure Mode  
The variety of AE functions, which allow video signal  
to output the optimum image for subjects from low  
light conditions to bright light conditions, are  
available.  
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  
• Full Auto  
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.

• 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.

Basic Functions  
AE – Shutter Priority  
AE – Manual  
The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain  
(16 steps) can be set freely by the user.  
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.  
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.

Basic Functions  
When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the  
Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter  
Priority mode is maintained.  
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.  
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).  
10  
Basic Functions  
Note  
Auto ICR Mode  
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.  
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.  
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.”

section on page 25.  
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.  
Alarm  
For details, see page 13.  
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

Basic Functions  
Alarm Function  
Title Display  
The camera can be given a title containing up to 20  
characters such as “ENTRANCE” or “LOBBY”. The  
position of the first character (horizontal, vertical) of  
the title, blinking state, and color can also be changed.  
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.

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.

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 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.

Command List  
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.  
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  
VISCA Controller  
VISCA Equipment  
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  
IN  
OUT  
IN  
• Start bit : 1  
• Stop bit : 1

• Non parity  
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is  
not supported.  
IN  
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.

Command List  
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.  
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

General Commands  
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.

Command  
Sends operational commands to the EVI-D70/P.  
Inquiry  
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.  
Used for inquiring about the current state of the  
EVI-D70/P.

D30/D31 Mode  
Overview  
Switching the Mode  
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.  
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.)

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.

Zoom speed  
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.

Translation of commands  
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  
operational range of the EVI-D30/D31 (1000h (FAR)  
~ 9FFFh (NEAR, 1cm)).  
Accepted parameters Translation  
0000h to 03FFh

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 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.

The D70/P returns D70/P parameters as-is.  
Reverse conversion is emulated as above.  
(Reference: X = {(0x9FFF- 0x1000)/(0xC000 –  
0x1000)}*(Y – 0x1000) + 0x1000)  
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 when answering inquiry  
commands  
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.
