Basic Functions  
In 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 are the basis of camera control.  
Timing Chart  
• I/F clear  
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.  
Clears the Command buffer of the EX780S/SP.  
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.  
However, the FCB-EX780S does not support  
connection of cameras in a daisy chain. Therefore,  
whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be  
sure to use the address set to confirm the address.  
The EX780S does not support connection of cameras  
in a daisy chain. However, whenever a camera is  
connected for the first time, be sure to use the address  
set to confirm the address.

Basic Functions  
- Normal AF Mode  
This is the normal mode for AF operations.  
Zoom  
The EX780S/SP employs a 25× optical zoom lens  
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera  
allows you to zoom up to 300x.  
- Interval AF Mode  
The mode used for AF movements carried out at  
particular 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.  
• Optical 25×, f = 2.4 to 60 mm (F 1.6 to F 2.7)  
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 45  
degrees (wide end) to 2.0 degrees (tele end).  
- Zoom Trigger Mode  
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by  
expanding each image in both the vertical and  
horizontal directions. When 300× zoom is used, the  
number of effective picture elements in each direction  
reduces to 1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.  
When the zoom is changed with the TELE or the  
WIDE buttons, the pre-set value (initially set at 5  
seconds) becomes that for AF Mode. Then, it  
stops.  
AF sensitivity can be set to either HIGH or LOW.  
- HIGH  
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways  
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this  
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.  
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.  
- LOW  
• By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the  
camera itself  
• Using a VISCA Command  
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.  
Using Standard Mode  
Using Variable Mode  
There are eight levels of zoom speed.  
Direct Mode  
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.  
Setting the zoom position enables quick  
movement to the designated position.  
Digital Zoom ON/OFF  
In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary  
to send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.  
• Manual Focus Mode  
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.  
• 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  
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.  
• One Push Trigger Mode  
When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to  
adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then  
holds that position until the next Trigger Command is  
input.  
• Infinity Mode  
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for  
an unlimited distance.  
Focus  
• Near Limit Mode  
Can be set in a range from 1000 () to C000 (35 mm).  
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set  
using VISCA Commands.  
• Auto Focus Mode  
The minimum focus distance is 35 mm at the optical  
wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end, and is  
independent of the digital zoom.  
The AutoFocus (AF) function automatically adjusts  
the focus position to maximise the high frequency  
content of the picture in a center measurement area,  
taking into consideration the high luminance and  
strong contrast components.

Basic Functions  
• Bright  
White Balance  
Variable Iris and Gain (Close to F1.6, 17 steps at  
0 dB: F1.6, 15 steps from 0 to 28 dB)  
White Balance has the following modes, all of which  
can be set using VISCA Commands.  
AE – Shutter priority  
• Auto 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 1/30s,  
1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1/1s. 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  
1/10,000s. The iris and gain are set automatically,  
according to the brightness of the subject.  
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 factory 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 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,” can you 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%, the rest  
should be set to 10%.

Basic Functions  
Exposure Compensation  
Auto ICR Mode  
Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the  
internal reference brightness level used in the AE  
mode, by steps of 1.5 dB.  
Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings  
needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter.  
With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is  
automatically disabled (ICR ON), and the infrared  
sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness,  
the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF).  
Also, on systems equipped with an IR light, the  
internal data of the camera is used to make the proper  
decisions to avoid malfunctions.

Set to “Slow Shutter Manual” at shipment.  
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.  
ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode  
An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the  
image path for increased sensitivity in low light  
environments. The ICR will automatically engage  
depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to  
be effective in day/night environments.

Basic Functions  
Memory (Position preset)  
Camera ID  
Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera  
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.  
This function allows you to achieve the desired status  
instantly, even without adjusting the following items  
each time.  
The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this  
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside,  
data will be saved regardless of whether it has been  
backed up.

Freeze  
This function captures an image in the field memory of  
the camera so that this image can be output  
continuously.  
Aperture  
ICR Shoot On/Off  
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.  
Custom Preset  
As with the positon preset function, the camera  
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The  
settings are recalled when the power is turned on. For  
setting items, refer to the “Initial Settings, Custom  
Preset and Backup” section on page 13.  
The Image Stabilizer Function  
When the Image Stabilizer Function is ON, it helps in  
obtaining a stable image free of vibration caused by  
jarring movements. For a vibration frequency of  
around 10 Hz, correction is approximately 90%.  
Privacy Zone Settings  
For subjects requiring special treatment due to privacy  
issues, designated areas of the image can be masked  
from view.  
Note  
In this situation, an area can be masked using Privacy  
Zone settings. As shown in the diagram below, 12  
blocks vertically and 16 horizontally, in a maximum of  
6 places, can be masked.  
Be advised that, when using systems equipped with Pan and Tilt  
functions, quick starts and stops are corrected for, causing a  
different movement from that of the normal image.

Basic Functions  
Title Display  
Synchronization methods  
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.  
Internal and external synchronization are available;  
VISCA Commands allow you to switch between them.  
• Internal synchronization  
An internal vibrator inside the camera generates a  
synchronizing signal as a basic oscillator.

• External synchronization (V-Lock Synchronization)  
When a TTL level V-Lock pulse is input, the camera  
synchronizes to the input signal (V-lock  
synchronization). The frequency of the input signal  
synchronizes to within 1Hz of the external  
synchronization.  
Also, V-Phase phase adjustment can be carried out to  
within 90 degrees due to the V-Lock phase  
adjustment. In addition, 360 degree phase adjustment  
is possible because you can switch between 0 degree  
and 180 degree phases.

Command List  
Overview of VISCA  
VISCA1)/RS-232C  
Commands  
This Manual outlines an RS-232 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  
In VISCA, the device outputting commands, for  
example, a computer, is called the controller. The  
device receiving the commands, an FCB-EX780S/  
EX780SP camera is called the peripheral device. In  
VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the FCB-  
EX780S/EX780SP 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  
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is  
not supported.  
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.

Command List  
sent to the camera assigned address 2 is 82H. In the  
command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of  
the camera at X. The header of the reply packet from  
the camera assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from  
the camera assigned address 2 is A0H.  
VISCA Communication  
Specifications  
VISCA packet structure  
Some of the commands for setting 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-  
EX780S/EX780SP camera assigned address 1 from the  
controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet

Command List  
Responses for commands and inquiries  
Command execution cancel  
G ACK message  
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.  
Returned by the FCB-EX780S/SP when it receives a  
command. No ACK message is returned for  
inquiries.  
Cancel Packet

G Completion message  
Cancel  
Returned by the FCB-EX780S/SP 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.  
An error message will be returned for this command,  
but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has  
been canceled.

Socket number  
When command messages are sent to the FCB-  
EX780S/SP, 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-EX780S/SP has two buffers  
(memories) for commands, so that up to two  
commands including the commands currently being  
executed can be received. When the FCB-EX780S/SP  
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, an FCB-EX780S/SP  
management command and some inquiry messages can  
be executed.  
The ACK message is not returned for these commands  
and inquiries, and only the completion message of  
socket number 0 is returned.
