  • Page 3: Features

    The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments (FCB- EX480C/EX480CP only). • VISCA is a communications protocol, which enables the camera to be controlled remotely by commands from a host computer/controller.

  • 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.

  • Page 7: 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 8 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 9: 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 10 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 the gain and iris using an internal algorithm according to a brightness level freely set by the user.

    The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments. (FCB- EX480C/EX480CP only) Auto ICR Mode (FCB-EX480C/EX480CP only) Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter.
  • Page 12 Note When in Auto_ICR_OFF state and WB data is added (default), a malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue and red colors are taken. Auto ICR is available in AE-full-auto state only. Camera ID The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside the camera, data will be saved regardless of whether it has been backed up.
  • Page 13 Title Display The camera can be given a title containing up to 20 characters such as “ENTRANCE” or “LOBBY”. The position of the first character (horizontal, vertical) of the title, blinking state, and color can also be changed. Vposition Hposition 00: Does not blink Blink 01: Blinks...

    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 40 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 41 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.
