D30/D31 Mode; Overview; Switching The Mode - Sony EVI-D100 Technical Manual

Overview

The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVI-
D100/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/
D31.
Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P
correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However,
some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P
are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in
definitions of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-D100/P
whose D30/D31 mode is set to ON, the camera
translates the parameters for the EVI-D30/D31 to those
for the EVI-D100/P and executes the command. The
following parameters are subject to translation.
• Zoom speed
• Zoom position
• Focus position
• Shutter speed
• Pan-tilt speed
• Pan-tilt position
Notes
• Even if you set the D30/D31 mode to ON, the EVI-
D100/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-D100/P cannot be
executed.

D30/D31 Mode

Switching the Mode

You can switch the D30/D31 mode ON or OFF by
switching the D30/D31 mode switch at the bottom of
the EVI-D100/P. To change the D30/D31 mode
setting, move the D30/D31 mode 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. If you change
the switch setting while the camera's power is on, the
mode of the camera will not change.
At the moment you turn the D30/D31 mode on or off,
the data backed up in the camera is erased and the
settings return to their initial values.
