  • Page 3: Features

    • The Ex-View HAD CCD features 380,000 (NTSC) or 440,000 (PAL) effective picture elements and high-sensitivity shooting. The minimum illumination required is 0.01 lx. • 18× optical zoom. • Supports external synchronization (V-lock). • Adopts a newly developed DSP for improved picture quality when using the digital zoom.

  • Page 4: Precautions

    Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or a fire may occur. In case of abnormal operation, contact your authorized Sony dealer or the store where you purchased the product.

    Locations of Controls Front Rear 1 Lens 2 CN992 connector 3 TELE button 4 WIDE button Left side Bottom 5 Tripod screw holes When a tripod is used, please use 10 mm ( in.) screws to attach it to the camera. Also, please be sure to attach the tripod securely.

  • Page 6: Basic Functions

    Overview of Functions VISCA commands are the basis of camera control. Timing Chart As VISCA Command processing can only be carried out one time in a Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum 1V cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be returned. If the Command ACK/Completion communication time can be cut shorter than the1V cycle time, then every 1V cycle can receive a Command.
  • Page 7 Zoom The FCB camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to zoom up to 216×. Lens specifications: Optical 18×, f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm (F1.4 to F3.0) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48 degrees (wide end) to 2.8 degrees (tele end).
  • Page 8 • Near Limit Mode Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to C000 (10 mm). The focus range is narrowed by excluding the unnecessary range. Automatic Exposure Mode The variety of AE functions, which allow video signal to output the optimum image for subjects from low light conditions to bright light conditions, are available.
  • Page 9 AE – Bright The bright control function adjusts both the gain and iris using an internal algorithm according to a brightness level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark and by iris when bright. As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity.

  • Page 10: Exposure Compensation

    Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode by steps of 1.5 dB. Data Step Setting value 10.5 dB 9 dB 7.5 dB 6 dB 4.5 dB 3 dB 1.5 dB 0 dB –1...

    MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE. THIS CONTROL PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION. 1) VISCA is a protocol which controls consumer camcorders developed by Sony. “VISCA” is a trademark of Sony Corporation. Command List Overview of VISCA In VISCA the device outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller.

  • Page 35: Visca Communication Specifications

    VISCA Communication Specifications VISCA Packet Structure The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a packet. The first byte of the packet is called the header and comprises the sender’s and receiver’s addresses. For example, the header of the packet sent to the FCB camera assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H.
  • Page 36 Responses for Commands and Inquiries ● ACK message Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a command. No ACK message is returned for inquiries. ● Completion message Returned by the FCB camera when execution of commands or inquiries is completed. In the case of inquiry commands, it will contain reply data for the inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet.
