Page 11: Functions
FUNCTIONS The DFW-V500/VL500 differs from conventional analog cameras in that no video signals will be output by just supplying power. It will start operating when designated commands are written in the CSR (Control & Status Register) specified in the 1394-based Digital Camera Specification Ver.1.20. - Page 12 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 FUNCTIONS Brightness The brightness of images can be controlled by changing the black level setting. Adjust the brightness if the appropriate gradation cannot be obtained due to the blurring of the black portions of the image. When maximum value of Y output data is 255...
- Page 13 Color Temperature This function was originally intended for selecting the optical filter. However with the DFW-V500/VL500, the R-gain and B- gain are set to the appropriate White Balance when color temperatures 3,200 K and 5,600 K light sources are used.
- Page 14 • Hue Y/R – Y/B – Y → R/G/B conversion The DFW-V500/VL500 outputs Y/R – Y/B – Y signals as digital image signals. The equations for converting these signals to R/G/B signals are as follows. R ≈ Y + (R – Y) G ≈...

At this time, return the CSR F0F00624h Current Mem. channel also to “0”. NOTE : As serial No. 100101 to 100700 (DFW-V500), 100101 to 100900 (DFW-VL500) cameras do not have this function, select Factory Setup in the CSR F0F00624h Current Memory Channel. - Page 16 : Set when CSR F0F00614h Iso_EN is OFF (STOP). CSR F0F00608h Current Video Format Specify the Video Format. As the DFW-V500/VL500 is only compatible with Format0, the command is always 00000000h.

Page 26: Command Setting And Operation Timing
DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING The DFW-V500/VL500 operates synchronously with 33.33 ms cycle internal pulses called VD. VDs are reference signals inside the camera and cannot be observed from outside the camera. Even if commands are set to the CSR of the camera, it does not mean that they become effective the instant they have been written. - Page 27 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING Isochronous Transmission Start/Stop command and actual operation timing As shown in the following figure, it takes at least about 1 V for the actual isochronous transmission of image data to start or stop after the Isochronous Start/Stop command (CSR F0F00614h: ISO_EN) has been set to the CSR of the camera. (VDs are the reference signals inside the camera and cannot be observed from outside the camera.)
- Page 28 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING If Shutter (CSR F0F0081Ch) is set to the extended exposing mode, command execution may be delayed for the exposure time at maximum in addition to the previous delay for Isochronous Start. Isochronous output is prepared...
- Page 29 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING If Shutter (CSR F0F0081Ch) is set to the extended exposing mode, command execution may also be delayed same as the previous command for Isochronous Stop. Isochronous output stop is prepared Isochronous output stop is made...
- Page 30 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING One Shot CMD and actual operation timing As shown in the following figure, it takes at least about 1 V for the actual isochronous transmission to start after the One Shot command (CSR F0F0061Ch) has been set to the CSR of the camera.
- Page 31 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING Do not set a new One Shot command until isochronous transmission of one frame image data ends after the One Shot command has been set. Isochronous output is prepared Set One Shot in this period...
- Page 32 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING Timing between external trigger signal and video signal output When the Trigger Mode (CSR F0F00830h) is set to ON, the camera will start exposure as shown in the following figure when it detects the external trigger signal.
- Page 33 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING Trigger Mode command and actual operation timing It takes at least about 1 V for external trigger signals to be received (Trigger Mode) after the Trigger ON command has been set to the CSR (F0F00830h) of the camera during the isochronous output of the moving image. (VDs are the reference signals inside the camera and cannot be observed from outside the camera.)
- Page 34 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 COMMAND SETTING AND OPERATION TIMING As shown in the following figure, it takes at least about 1 V for the normal transmission of moving images to start after the Trigger OFF command has been set to the CSR (F0F00830h) of the camera. (VDs are the reference signals inside the camera and cannot be observed from outside the camera.)

Page 35: Shutter
DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 SHUTTER When exposure time is 1 frame or shorter VDs are generated continuously inside the camera, and the video signals synchronize with them and are output by isochronous transmission. (VDs are the reference signals inside the camera and cannot be observed from outside the camera.) If a frame rate lower than 30 frame/s is selected at CSR F0F00600h Current Frame Rate, the image data output at the actual 30 frame/s will be interpolated in unit frame and transmitted at the designated frame rate. - Page 36 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 SHUTTER The timing at which the video signal is output by isochronous transmission is as follows. Because the packet serving as the reference of the timing above 1394 bus and camera VD are asynchronous and the camera cannot dominate the bus 100% when other equipments are connected to the 1394 bus, the following output timing will vary.
- Page 37 DFW-V500 DFW-VL500 SHUTTER When exposure time is over 1 frame Even if the exposure time over 1 frame (1/30 sec) is set, the time (A period) to the output of the video signal from VD at the time exposure completes and the time required (B period) for isochronous transmitting video signal of one frame will be the same as the previous section.
