  • 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-EX980S/EX980SP/EX980/EX980P employs a 26 optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to zoom up to 312 . • Optical 26 , f = 3.5 to 91 mm (F 1.6 to F 3.8) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 54.2 degrees (wide end) to 2.2 degrees (tele end).

  • Page 8: White Balance

    White Balance White Balance has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands. • Auto White Balance This mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 3000 to 7500K.
  • Page 9 AE – Manual The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain (16 steps) can be set freely by the user. AE – Bright The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness level freely set by the user.

    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 39 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 40 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.
