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.

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 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  
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside,  
data will be saved regardless of whether it has been  
backed up.

E-FLIP  
This function turns the video output from the camera  
upside down.  
Mirror image  
This function reverses the video output from the  
camera horizontally.  
• Aperture  
• ICR Shoot On/Off  
Freeze  
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.

Basic Functions  
Title Display  
Synchronization methods  
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.  
Internal and external synchronization are available;  
VISCA Commands allow you to switch between them.  
• Internal synchronization  
An internal vibrator inside the camera generates a  
synchronizing signal as a basic oscillator.

• 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.

Tilt positions.  
• Mask can be displayed on 8 places per screen  
simultaneously.  
• Privacy Zones are displayed according to priority in  
alphabetical order.  
• Individual on/off zone masking settings.  
• Two colors from among 28 colors can be individually  
set for each of 24 privacy zones.  
Privacy Zone masking protects private objects and  
areas such as house windows, entrances, and exits  
which are within the camera’s range of vision but not  
subject to surveillance.

Setting Mask  
See “mm: mask setting list” in “Parameters” on page 15.  
If the bit of parameter (pp pp pp pp) is set to “0”,  
mask color will be “qq” color (Color code). If the  
bit of parameter (pp pp pp pp) is set to “1”, the  
mask color will be “rr” color (Color code).

See “pp: x, qq: y, rr: w, ss: h” in “Parameters” on page 15.  
Example: 8x 01 04 78 00 00 00 03 10 07 FF  
The mask color of Mask_A and Mask_B is White  
(color code 07h), and the mask color of the other  
Mask (C to X) is semi-transparent Black (color  
code 10h).  
Comments: To set the mask, first display the object  
at the center of the screen. When “nn” is set to 1,  
the current Pan/Tilt/Zoom position is recorded in  
internal memory.

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))  
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.

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.

Command List  
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  
0.  
An error message will be returned for this command,  
but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has  
been canceled.

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.
