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.
Freeze
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.
Memory (Position preset)
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.

Custom Preset
As with the position 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 23.
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.
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.
Register Setting
The camera's default settings can be changed by the
register setting command.
Register Setting Command:
8x 01 04 24 mm 0p 0q FF
mm: Register No. (=00 to 7F)
pq: Register Value (=00 to FF)
Register Inquiry Command:
8x 09 04 24 mm FF
mm: Register No.
y0 50 0p 0p FF
pp: Register Value
(returned from the camera)
Example: To set communication speed to 38400 bps
8x 01 04 24 00 00 02 FF
After sending this command, turn power off and
back on (power reset) to resume communication
control at 38400 bps.
Example: Sending to confirm settings
8x 09 04 24 00 FF
y0 50 00 03 FF is returned from the camera
The register setting items and No. are as follows.
Baud Rate: 00
Communication speed can be changed.
OSD Language: 60
OSD Language can be changed.
CCD Scanning Mode: 72
CCD scanning mode can be changed.
(FCB-EX15E/P, FCB-CX15E/P)
Digital Output Mode: 73
The FCB camera supports various output modes.
This register "73" allows changing the output
mode.
For details, see "Register Setting" on page 53.
Zoom Limit: 50 (Wide end), 51 (Tele end)
The Wide and Tele zoom limits can be set.
E-Zoom Max: 52
The maximum digital zoom limit can be specified
(default is ×12).
FocusTrace: 54
When zoom speed is given priority, using the
ZoomDirect command changes focus at high speed
(although the image may be blurred because focus
is not tracked). For example, the focus transition
time from Wide to Tele ends, which typically takes
2.5 seconds, can be reduced to 2 seconds.
FocusOffset: 55
Placing a dome cover in front of the camera may
cause the focal distance of the camera to change.
Especially at the Tele end, this effect exceeds the AF
range, so focus cannot track, although it responds
to changes in this value.
For details, see "Register Setting" on page 53.
