    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 zooming from the setting menu.  You can store up to 6 kinds of camera direction and camera status into the camera.

    Command List The VISCA devices each have a VISCA IN and VISCA VISCA RS-232C OUT connector. Set the DSR input (the DTR output of the controller) of Commands VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment from the controller. Use of RS-232C control software which has been developed based upon this command list may cause Fig. 1 VISCA network configuration malfunction or damage to hardware and software. Sony Corporation is not liable for any such damage. VISCA Controller VISCA Equipment 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.  Communication speed: 9,600 bps/38,400 bps  Data bits : 8 ...

    D70 Mode Overview Switching the Mode The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-H100S/ You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching H100V using VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P. the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-H100S/ Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/ H100V. To change the D70 mode setting, move the H100V correspond to one for the EVI-D70/P. However, BOTTOM switch to ON or OFF while the camera’s some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/ power is off or the camera is in standby mode. Then, H100V are different from those for the EVI-D70/P in turn the power on by connecting the camera to an AC definitions of parameters. outlet or by using the VISCA commands or the Remote When you send those commands to an EVI-H100S/ Commander.
