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.
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

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.
