3 OUTLINE The FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX47/P are color camera modules which incorporate an 8 optical zoom lens, a 4 digital zoom and a /4" Super HAD CCDTM. Including a field memory, the FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX47/P can, in addition to normal video mode, continuously output a frozen picture, achieve slow speed shuttering with increased sensitivity, achieve mirror inversion and allow various Picture Effects and Digital Effects, thanks to a newly developed Digital Signal Processor. In the FCB-IX47/P models, the internal IR cut filter may be removed by remote control, giving IR sensitivity. A built-in IR lighting by LED may also be added. Combined use produces a minimum sensitivity of lx. All models have position preset function to save and recall up to 6 shooting conditions, and extensive control is possible via analog and VISCA /RS-3C, with optional on screen display.

6 FUNCTIONS Basic/Extended Control Basic control of the camera module functions can be done using the built-in keyboard. In this mode, user can control zoom (fixed speed), manual focus (fixed speed), and switch AutoFocus ON/OFF. Shutter speed is fixed /6s (/5s), white balance, iris and gain are automatic. Extended control of the camera module functions is possible by analog connections (refer to SW-JIG) and by VISCA / RS-3C. Zoom The FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX47/P use an 8 zoom lens as well as a 4 digital zoom. Optical 8, f = 4. to 73.8 mm (F.4 to F 3.) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48 (wide end) to.7 (tele end). The digital zoom is automatically switched ON at the tele end of 8 optical zoom range, with a progressive effect from to 4, giving a total maximum 7 zoom ratio. Digital zoom increases the picture element size and reduces the resolution. Extended control of zoom: Direct zoom position Zoom speed selection (8 speeds) Digital zoom can switched ON/OFF 4

7 FUNCTIONS Focus The minimum focus distance is mm at optical wide end and 8 mm at optical tele end, and is independent of digital zoom. The AutoFocus (AF) function adjusts automatically the focus position to maximise the high frequency content of the picture in a center measurement area, considering the high luminance and strong contrast components. NOTE : AVOID 4-hour continuous use of the autofocus. This may cause lens malfunction. All of these settings are performed via RS-3C control. If not using the RS-3C, white balance, iris and gain adjustments will be carried out automatically, and the shutter speed will be fixed at /6 seconds. Extended control of focus: Direct focus position Minimum focus distance limitation Manual focus speed selection (8 speeds) AutoFocus can be set to High or Low mode One Push AF can be achieved in manual focus mode HIGH AF : High reaction speed of AF. Use this mode when shooting fast moving objects. Recommended as optimum mode for normal NON-CONTINUOUS use. LOW AF : Better focus stability. In low luminance conditions, AF stops operation even when brightness changes, enabling stable images. White Balance Auto : Auto Tracing White Balance with limitations on R and B gain (3 to 6 K), to avoid fixing single color scenes as white ATW : Auto Tracing White Balance ( to K) Indoor : 3 K Outdoor : 58 K One Push WB : One Push White Balance* Manual WB : Manual control of R and B gain, 56 steps each * The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only on request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting conditions, and occupying more than / of the image, is submitted to the camera. Selecting the One Push White Balance mode recalls the white balance data computed at the latest One Push Trigger, if the camera has been left in power ON state, or if the lithium backup battery has been switched ON in charged condition. 5

8 FUNCTIONS Automatic Exposure Mode This mode is set to Full Auto at shipment. Altogether 9 modes are available including this one. Full Auto : Auto Iris and Gain, Fixed Shutter (FCB-IX47/47: /6 sec., FCB-IX47P/47P: /5 sec.) Shutter Priority*: Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain (/4 or /3 to /, sec., steps, std. shutter 6 steps, slow shutter 4 steps) Iris Priority : Variable Iris (F.4 to Close, 8 steps), Auto Gain and Shutter Gain Priority : Variable Gain ( 3 db to 8 db, 8 steps), Auto Iris and Fixed Shutter Manual : Variable Shutter, Iris and Gain Bright : Variable Iris and Gain (Closed to F.6, 7 steps at db: F.4, 7 steps form to 8 db) Iris Auto : Variable Gain and Shutter Shutter Auto : Variable Iris and Gain Gain Auto : Variable Iris and Shutter * Flicker can be eliminated by setting shutter to /s for NTSC models used in countries with 5 Hz power supply frequency /s for PAL models used in countries with 6 Hz power supply frequency AE Shutter priority The shutter can be set freely by the user to a total of steps 6 high speeds and 4 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be /3s (/5s), /5s (/s), /8s (/6s), /4s (/3s) for NTSC (PAL) models. The picture output is read at normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at low rate from the CCD. AF capability is low. In high speed mode, the shutter can be set up to /s. The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject. Data NTSC PAL Data NTSC PAL F E D C B A

9 FUNCTIONS AE Iris priority The iris can be set freely by the user to 8 steps between F.4 and Close. The gain and shutter are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject. Data Setting value Data Setting value F.4 8 F6.8 F.6 7 F8 F F 6 F9.6 E F.4 5 F D F.8 4 F4 C F3.4 3 F6 B F4 F9 A F4.8 F 9 F5.6 CLOSE AE Gain priority The gain can be set freely by the user to 8 steps between 3 db and +8 db. The shutter speed is fixed and the iris is set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject. Data Setting value 8 db 5 db db 9 db 6 db 3 db db 3 db AE Manual The shutter speed ( steps), iris (8 steps) and gain (8 steps) can be set freely by the user. 7

10 FUNCTIONS AE Bright The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal law, 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, they are used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching from the automatic exposure mode or shutter priority automatic exposure mode to the bright mode, the latest state before switching is kept as start value. OPEN IRIS Gain MAX IRIS curve Gain curve CLOSE MIN Dark Controlled by gain Controlled by IRIS Bright Bright limit which controllable for this unit Data Iris Gain Data Iris Gain 7 F.4 8 db B F4 db 6 F.4 5 db A F4.8 db 5 F.4 db 9 F5.6 db 4 F.4 9 db 8 F6.8 db 3 F.4 6 db 7 F8 db F.4 3 db 6 F9.6 db F.4 db 5 F db F.6 db 4 F4 db F F db 3 F6 db E F.4 db F9 db D F.8 db F db C F3.4 db CLOSE db When switching from the shutter priority automatic exposure mode to the bright mode, the bright mode control can be used while maintaining the shutter speed set in the shutter priority automatic exposure mode. When switched to the shutter priority automatic exposure mode, automatic exposure is started at the maintained shutter speed (both iris and gain are automatic). AE Shutter Auto The iris and gain are set freely by the user, and the shutter changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject. Slow shutter is disabled. AE Iris Auto The gain and shutter are set freely by the user, and the iris changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject. AE Gain Auto The iris and shutter are set freely by the user, and the gain changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject. 8

11 FUNCTIONS Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode, by steps of.5 db. Data Step Setting value Data Step Setting value E 7.5 db 6.5 db D 6 9 db 5 3 db C db db B 4 6 db db A db db 9 3 db 6 9 db 8.5 db 7.5 db 7 db Aperture Control Aperture control is a function which adjusts the enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture. There are 6 steps of adjustment, starting from no enhancement. When shooting small characters, this control may help making them 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. 9

12 FUNCTIONS Title Display The camera can be given a title containing up to 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 Blink Color to A to 7 : Does not blink : Blinks White Yellow Violet 3 Red 4 Cyan 5 Green Table of character codes A B 8 9 I J Q R 8 9 Y Z 3 4 C a K S a & 5 3 D b L 3 T b E c M 4 U c?

13 FUNCTIONS Digital Effect It consists of the following functions. They are all executed via the field memory. Still : Motion Image on Still Image Flash: Continuous Still Image Lumi: Motion Images on Binaried Still Image Trail : Afterimage Lag of Motion Subject Others LuxShot The FCB-IX47/P is equipped with a motorized mechanism to remove the internal IR cut filter on demand, making the camera sensitive to close IR. An additional IR lighting may be added by switching the IR LEDs ON. In this latest mode, the FCB-IX47/P can shoot without external light, achieving a minimum sensitivity of lx.. Ye.8 8 Ta = 5 C Peak = nm Relative Response.6.4. Cy G Mg Wave Length [nm] CCD Visible Spectral Response IR LED Spectral Response The supplied IR LED has a limited energy range allowing a working distance of approximately to 3 meters. NOTE : In the lx shot mode, the iris is fixed at F.4 and high speed shutter control cannot be performed. Only the gain and low speed shutter can be controlled. However, iris and shutter values displayed may differ from the actual values. Do not suspect a fault. In the lx shot mode, the picture looks slightly greenish, like an image intensifier picture. This may be suppressed by selection of the Black & White mode in the Picture Effect menu. Mirror image The video output from the camera can be reversed left and right using this function. Freeze This function captures an image in the field memory of the camera so that this image can be output continuously.

14 FUNCTIONS Memory (Position preset) Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. This function allows the desired zoom position, focus (auto, manual positions), white balance, shutter, bright control, iris, gain, exposure compensation, back light compensation, and aperture to be set instantaneously without having to adjust them each time. It also memorizes the settings for electronic zoom on/off, slow shutter auto/manual, lx shot on/off, IR LED on/off. Date, Time display When used together with the display command, displays the date and time will be displayed on the video monitor. Time difference is ±3 seconds monthly. Backup Backs up the contents memorized by the memory (position preset) function and the camera functions when the power is turned OFF. The backup switch can be switched as follows. INT side : Backs up for about 6 months when the internal battery is fully recharged. (Full recharge by letting about 4 hours in power ON state.) OFF side : No back up. Set to this position at shipment. (This setting is set when the power is turned ON the next time.) EXT side : Backs up by the external power supply input to the CN75 connector. Power supply voltage: 3. V ±. V Current consumption : 6 µa Zoom position analog output Zoom position analog signals can be output by the CN85 connector of the IF-7 board.

15 CONTROL METHODS If the camera is not to be controlled via RS-3C, pressing the switch of the IF-7 board on the camera side controls the zoom and focus. When the red LED is lit, it is in an auto focus mode. Supply 6 to Vdc to CN5. The composite and Y/C signals will be output from CN3. The SW (memory backup) is set to OFF at the shipment. When set to INT, the zoom and focus states can be backed up. The battery backs up the data for six months when fully recharged. Most of the camera functions can be controlled by the SW-JIG (reference circuit). Connect the SW-JIG by the -pin flat cable provided. 3

26 Table of Contents VISCA /RS-3C... 5 COMMAND LIST Sony reserves the right to change specifications of the products and discontinue products without notice. Use of the RS-3C control software which is developed based upon this command list may cause malfunction or damage to hardware and software. Sony Corporation is not liable for any of such damages. 4

27 VISCA /RS-3C The VISCA is a protocol which controls consumer camcorders developed by Sony. The command which can be used will differ for each product. Refer to the command list of each product. Outline of VISCA In the VISCA, the side outputting commands such as the computer is called the controller, while the receiving of the commands such as the FCB camera is called the peripheral device. The FCB camera serves as a peripheral device of VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices such as the FCB camera can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to RS-3C. The parameters of RS-3C are as follows. Communication speed: 96 bps Data bits : 8 Start bit : Stop bit : Non parity MSB first Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc. is not supported. The peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As shown in Fig., 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. The addresses of the peripheral devices are,, 3 in the order from the one nearest to the controller. The address of the peripheral device is set by sending address commands during the initialization of the network. VISCA TM Equipments VISCA TM Controller IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT Fig. VISCA network configuration The VISCA devices each have a VISCA IN and VISCA OUT terminal. Set the DTR input (S output of the controller) of VISCA IN to H when controlling from the controller. * VISCA is a trademark of Sony Corporation. 5

28 VISCA /RS-3C VISCA Connection The camera has an interface made up of connectors for -pin internal wirings. For an example of connection, refer to the command list for each model.

30 VISCA /RS-3C VISCA Communication Specifications VISCA packet structure The basic unit of VISCA communication is called packet (Fig. 3). The first byte of the packet is called header and comprises the sender s and receiver s addresses. For example, the header of the packet sent to the FCB camera of address from the controller of address is hexadecimal 8H. The packet sent to the FCB camera of address is 8H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the FCB camera at X. The header of the reply packet from the FCB camera of address is 9H. The packet from the FCB camera of address is AH. Some of the commands for setting the FCB camera can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast). In the case of broadcast, the header should be hexadecimal and 88H. When the terminator is FFH, it signifies the end of the packet. Packet (3 to 6 bytes) Header Message ( to 4 bytes) Terminator Byte Byte Byte 3 FF Sender s address Receiver s address Bit 7 (MSB) Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit Bit Bit (LSB) Bit 7 (MSB) Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit Bit Bit (LSB) Fig. 3 Packet structure Command and inquiry Command: Commands operations to the FCB camera. Inquiry : Used for examining the state of the FCB camera. Command Packet Note Inquiry 8X QQ RR... FF QQ = Command/Inquiry, RR = category code* *QQ = (Command), 9 (Inquiry) *RR = (Interface), 4 (camera ), 6 (Pan/Tilter), 7 (Camera ) *X = to 7: FCB camera address 8

31 VISCA /RS-3C Response for command and inquiry ACK message : Returned by the FCB camera when it receives the command. No ACK message is returned for inquiries. Completion message : Returned by the FCB camera when execution of commands and 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 a. Reply Packet Note Ack X 4Y FF Y = socket number Completion (commands) X 5Y FF Y = socket number Completion (Inquiries) X 5Y... FF Y = socket number X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8 Error message : When a command or inquiry command could not be executed or failed to be executed, the error message is returned as instead of the completion message. Error Packet Description X 6Y FF Message length error (>4 bytes) X 6Y FF Syntax Error X 6Y 3 FF Command buffer full X 6Y 4 FF Command cancelled X 6Y 5 FF No socket (to be cancelled) X 6Y 4 FF Command not excutable X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8, Y = socket number Socket number When command messages are sent to the FCB 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 camera has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands being executed can be received. When the FCB camera receives commands, it notifies 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 used, the command for FCB camera management 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 is returned. 9

32 VISCA /RS-3C Command execution cancel The IF_Clear command is sent to cancel a command after sending it. Use the cancel message to cancel one of the two commands sent. Cancel Packet Note Cancel 8X Y FF Y = socket number X = to 7: FCB camera address, Y = socket number The Command canceled error message will be returned for this command, but this is not a fault.
