Pan/Tilt; Memory Channels - Sony XCD-SX910CR/X710CR Technical Manual

Pan/Tilt

Pan/Tilt is a function used to move a camera up and
down or left and right, however this camera supports a
video mode much smaller than the CCD's effective
pixels by cutting out images from the whole screen.
You can specify the portion to be cut out using Pan/
Tilt commands. One unit of movement is two pixels.
Refer to the table for the video modes in which Pan/
Tilt commands can be used and the variable ranges for
the mode. The values in parentheses are the initial
settings.

When a video mode is changed, the initial Pan/Tilt
values for the mode are set.
On the XCD-SX910CR/X710CR, if you set the value
of Pan/Tilt to maximum, the pixels on the edge of the
picture may not be output correctly.

Memory Channels

This camera is equipped with two channels non-
volatile memory to hold camera settings.
The settings of all camera features and the video mode
can be stored.
The camera memorizes the channel most recently used
to read out the setting information, and retains it, even
if the power is turned off. Therefore, the camera loads
the information from that channel when the power is
turned on.
The video mode settings are loaded only when the
power is turned on.
To start up the camera with the desired setting, perform
the following procedure.
1 Make changes to the camera features or the video
mode settings.
2 Store the current setting in Memory Channel 1 or
Memory Channel 2.
3 Load the information that was stored in step 2.
Thus, when you start up the camera the next time,
the settings that you have made will be loaded
automatically.
Using the CameraInitialize command, the setting
information stored in the channels is cleared and the
camera features and the video mode are initialized. To
preserve the information in the channels, be sure not to
send the CameraInitialize command while driver
software or application software is starting up.
The value of Pan/Tilt is initialized when the video
mode is changed. To preserve the value, be sure not to
change the video mode while driver software or
application software is starting up, or before sending
the video start command.
