Basic Functions  
General  
Overview of Functions  
• Power On/Off  
Powers the camera on and off. When the power is off,  
the camera is able to accept only the lowest level of  
VISCA Commands; the display and other features are  
turned off.  
VISCA commands form the basis of camera control.  
Timing Chart  
• I/F clear  
As VISCA Command processing can only be carried  
out once 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.  
Clears the Command buffer of the FCB series  
camera. Clearing the buffer can also be carried out  
from the control application software when the power  
is on.  
• Address set  
VISCA is a protocol, which normally can support a  
daisy chain of up to seven attached devices.  
Whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be  
sure to use the address set to confirm the address.

Basic Functions  
The AutoFocus (AF) function automatically adjusts  
the focus position to maximize the high frequency  
content of the picture in a center measurement area,  
taking into consideration the high luminance and  
strong contrast components.  
Zoom  
The FCB series camera employs an 10× optical zoom  
lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing  
you to zoom up to 40×.  
- Normal AF Mode  
This is the normal mode for AF operations.  
- Interval AF Mode  
Lens specifications: Optical 10×, f = 4.2 to 42 mm  
(F1.8 to F2.9)  
The mode used for AF movements carried out at  
defined intervals. The time intervals for AF  
movements and for the timing of the stops can be  
set in one-second increments using the Set Time  
Command. The initial value for both is set to five  
seconds.  
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 46  
degrees (wide end) to 4.6 degrees (tele end).  
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by  
expanding each image in both the vertical and  
horizontal directions. When 40× zoom is used, the  
number of effective picture elements in each direction  
reduces to 1/4 and the overall resolution deteriorates.  
- Zoom Trigger Mode  
When the zoom is changed with the TELE button,  
WIDE button, VISCA Zoom commands or key  
switches, the pre-set value (initially set at 5  
seconds) becomes that for AF Mode. Then, it  
returns to Manual Focus mode.  
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways:  
• By pressing the TELE or WIDE button on the  
camera itself.  
AF sensitivity can be set to either HIGH or LOW.  
• Using a VISCA Command  
- HIGH  
Using Standard Mode  
Using Variable Mode  
There are eight levels of zoom speed.  
Direct Mode  
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this  
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.  
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.  
- LOW  
Setting the zoom position enables quick  
movement to the designated position.  
Digital Zoom ON/OFF  
Improves the stability of the focus. When the  
lighting level is low, the AF function does not take  
effect, even though the brightness varies,  
contributing to a stable image.  
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary  
to send a “Stop Command” to stop the zoom operation.  
When used for 24 hours continuously,  
initialization of lens system once a day is  
recommended because this will make the life of  
lens longer. The Initialize Lens Command takes a  
little less than 3 seconds to initialize the focus and  
zoom.  
• The Zoom Mode supports a Combined Mode and a  
Separate Mode.  
Combined Mode  
This is the previously existing zoom method.  
After the optical zoom has reached its maximum  
level, the camera switches to Digital Zoom Mode.  
Separate Mode  
• Manual Focus Mode  
In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom can  
be operated separately. You can use digital zoom  
magnification at any time from within any level of  
optical magnification.  
Manual Focus has both a Standard Speed Mode and a  
Variable Speed Mode. Standard Speed Mode focuses  
at a fixed rate of speed. Variable Speed Mode has  
eight speed levels that can be set using a VISCA  
Command.  
Focus  
• One Push Trigger Mode  
When a Trigger Command is received, the lens  
moves to adjust the focus for the subject. The focus  
lens then holds the same position until the next  
Trigger Command is input.  
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set  
using VISCA Commands.  
• Auto Focus Mode  
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical  
wide end and 1000 mm at the optical tele end, and is  
independent of the digital zoom.  
• Infinity Mode  
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for  
an unlimited distance.  
• Near Limit Mode  
Can be set in a range from 1000 () to C000 (10 mm).

Basic Functions  
AE – Shutter Priority  
White Balance  
The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a  
total of 22 steps – 16 high speeds and 6 low speeds.  
When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be 1/30,  
1/15, 1/8, or 1/4 s. The picture output is read at a normal  
rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low  
rate from the CCD. AF capability is low.  
In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to  
1/10,000 s. The iris and gain are set automatically,  
according to the brightness of the subject.  
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.  
This mode is the default setting.

Basic Functions  
AE – Manual  
The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain  
(16 steps) can be set freely by the user.  
When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the  
Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter  
Priority mode is maintained.  
AE – Bright  
Spot Exposure Mode  
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. When switching  
from Full Auto or Shutter Priority Mode to Bright  
Mode, the current status will be retained for a short  
period of time.  
In Full Auto AE, the level for the entire screen is  
computed and the optimum Auto Iris and Gain levels  
are determined. In Spot AE, a particular section of the  
subject can be designated, and then that portion of the  
image can be weighted and a value computed so that  
Iris and Gain can be optimized to obtain an image.  
For example, in an image with a lot of movement and  
with varying levels of brightness, portions without  
much change can be designated as such a “spot,” and  
changes to the screen can be minimized in that area.  
As shown in the diagram below, a range of 16 blocks  
vertically and 16 blocks horizontally can be  
designated.  
Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or  
“Shutter Priority,” the user can switch it to “Bright.”  
Gain  
In the case where the center is designated (shown in  
black), the level is computed along with a weighted  
value for the surrounding block (shaded), including the  
specified portions; and then the Gain and Iris are set.  
The value of the designated portions and the  
surrounding areas should be calculated as 90% and the  
rest should be set to 10%.

Basic Functions  
Exposure Compensation  
Camera ID  
Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the  
internal reference brightness level used in the AE  
mode by steps of 1.5 dB.  
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.

–10.5 dB  
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.  
Aperture Control  
Aperture control is a function which adjusts the  
enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture.  
There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from “no  
enhancement.” When shooting text, this control may  
help by making the text sharper.  
Back Light Compensation  
When the background of the subject is too bright, or  
when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE  
mode, back light compensation will make the subject  
appear clearer.  
Slow Shutter – Auto/Manual  
When the Slow Shutter is set to “Auto,” this ensures  
that the slow shutter is engaged automatically when the  
brightness drops. This occurs only when the AE mode  
is set to “Full Auto.”  
“Slow Shutter Manual” is the factory setting.

Command List  
Overview of VISCA  
VISCA1)/RS-232C  
Commands  
This Manual outlines an RS-232C control protocol and  
command list for certain Sony cameras from which  
control software can be developed.  
THIS CONTROL PROTOCOL AND COMMAND  
LIST IS PROVIDED BY SONY ON AN “AS-IS  
BASIS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.  
SONY DOES NOT WARRANT ANY PARTICULAR  
RESULT FROM THE USE OF THIS CONTROL  
PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST AND  
DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL  
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH  
RESPECT TO THAT CONTROL PROTOCOL AND  
COMMAND LIST, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  
LIMITED TO, ANY OR ALL IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR  
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN  
FACT, SONY SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES  
THAT SOFTWARE DEVELOPED BASED ON THIS  
CONTROL PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST  
MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE TO  
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE USED WITH IT  
(INCLUDING SONY HARDWARE AND  
SOFTWARE) AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS  
ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH  
MALFUNCTION OR DAMAGE. THIS CONTROL  
PROTOCOL AND COMMAND LIST SHOULD BE  
USED WITH CAUTION.  
In VISCA the device outputting commands, for  
example, a computer, is called the controller. The  
device receiving the commands, an FCB series camera  
is called the peripheral device. In this case, an FCB  
series camera, is itself one of the peripheral devices.  
In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the FCB  
series camera can be connected to one controller using  
communication conforming to the RS-232C standard.  
The parameters of RS-232C are as follows:  
• Communication speed: 9.6 kbps/19.2 kbps/  
38.4 kbps  
• Data bits : 8  
• Start bit : 1  
• Stop bit : 1/2  
• Non parity  
Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As  
shown in the following figure, the actual internal  
connection is a one-direction ring, so that messages  
return to the controller via the peripheral devices. The  
devices on the network are assigned addresses.  
The address of the controller is fixed at 0. The  
addresses of the peripheral devices are 1, 2, 3 ... in  
order, starting from the one nearest the conttoller. The  
address of the peripheral device is set by sending  
address commands during the initialization of the  
network.

• Connect the serial output from the PC to the serial  
input of camera 1, then connect the serial output of  
camera 1 to the serial input of camera 2, the serial  
output of camera 2 to the serial input of camera 3,  
and the serial output of camera 3 to the serial input of  
the PC. (Up to seven cameras may be connected.)  
• Power on all the units connected in series.  
• Mixed existence of RS-232C and TTL signal levels is  
not allowed.

VISCA Communication Specifications  
VISCA Packet Structure  
packet from the FCB series camera assigned address 1  
is 90H. The packet from the FCB series camera  
assigned address 2 is A0H.  
Some of the commands for setting FCB series cameras  
can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast). In  
the case of broadcast, the header should be  
hexadecimal 88H.  
When the terminator is FFH, it signifies the end of the  
packet.  
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  
series camera assigned address 1 from the controller  
(address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the  
FCB series camera assigned address 2 is 82H. In the  
command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of  
the FCB series camera at X. The header of the reply

Command List  
Command and Inquiry  
Socket Number  
Command  
When command messages are sent to the FCB series  
camera, it is normal to send the next command  
message after waiting for the completion message or  
error message to return. However to deal with  
advanced uses, the FCB series camera has two buffers  
(memories) for commands, so that up to two  
commands including the commands currently being  
executed can be received. When the FCB series  
camera receives commands, it notifies the sender  
which command buffer was used using the socket  
number of the ACK message. As the completion  
message or error message also has a socket number, it  
indicates which command has ended. Even when two  
command buffers are being used at any one time, a  
FCB series camera management command and some  
inquiry messages can be executed.  
Sends operational commands to the FCB series  
camera.  
Inquiry  
Used for inquiring about the current state of the  
FCB series camera.

Responses for Commands and Inquiries  
The ACK message is not returned for these commands  
and inquiries, and only the completion message of  
socket number 0 is returned.  
ACK message  
Returned by the FCB series camera when it receives  
a command. No ACK message is returned for  
inquiries.  
Command Execution Cancel  
Completion message  
Returned by the FCB series 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. If the  
ACK message is omitted, the socket number will  
contain 0.  
To cancel a command which has already been sent,  
send the IF_Clear command as the next command. To  
cancel one of any two commands which have been  
sent, use the cancel message.
