Features
The 1/2.8 type Exmor CMOS camera (utilising
approximately 2 million valid pixels) allows for high-
definition shooting with superior picture quality.
Adopts 30 times optical magnification, F1.6 high
power and luminous zoom lens.
By adopting its wide and dynamic range functions,
you can see the optimised shooting image which
incorporates bright and dark subjects at the same
time.
Adopts the industry standard RS-232 interface of
VISCA camera protocol in external communication.
It is possible to operate from long distances by using
both RS-232 and RS-422.
You can install the camera on ceilings due to the
functions of high-speed and wide range pan/tilt
action and vertical image flip.
You can use the infrared remote commander to set
the camera and also to select panning, tilting and
zooming from the setting menu.
You can store up to 16 kinds of camera direction and
camera status into the camera. In the case of the
infrared remote commander, 6 kinds can be stored.
You can use the LAN cable for external
communication. This will make system construction
easier.
The camera can be set for a variety of HD video
formats and has an HDMI interface terminal. The
HDMI video interface is in widespread use.

Connection
Notes
Use only the AC power adaptor (JEITA type4)
supplied with the unit. Do not use any other AC
power adaptor.
Polarity of the plug
You have to set the video format of the signal to be
output from the camera. For detailed information on
how to set the video format, see “SYSTEM
SELECT switch” on page 8.
Do not make VISCA RS-232 and RS-422 connections
at the same time, as this may cause malfunctions.
1) When the camera is connected to a computer with a VISCA cable (cross type, RS-232), you can operate the
camera with the computer. To obtain a cable, consult the dealer where you bought your camera.
2) For details on how to connect using VISCA RS-422, see page 56.
3) For details on the VISCA over IP connection using LAN cable, see page 29.

Notes
Be sure to set this switch before you turn on the power of the
camera. You can also set this switch in the standby mode of the
camera. After completing the setting, turn on the power of the
camera by connecting it to an AC outlet using the supplied AC
power adaptor and AC power cord, by using the VISCA
command or infrared remote commander.
Be sure to use a Phillips-head screwdriver when changing the
switch position. If you use a tool other than the designated
screwdriver, the crossed groove may be damaged.
If the switch position is set to 1, 9, E and F (no output), the
POWER lamp and STANDBY lamp will both remain lit. In such
cases, control via the infrared remote commander and VISCA
communication is disabled.
If the switch position is set to 6 (EDID), the most suitable format
will be output automatically based on the resolution of the Video
monitor to be connected.
If the switch position is set to 7 (VISCA CONTROL), you can
configure the video format via external communication.
Setting of the BOTTOM switches
To change the BOTTOM switch setting, select the
BOTTOM switch with the power of this unit turned off

Basic Functions
Overview of Functions
Zoom
The SRG camera employs a 30× optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function; this camera
allows you to zoom up to 360×.
•Optical 30×, f = 4.3 mm to 129 mm
(F 1.6 to F 4.7)
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When the digital zoom is used,
the resolution deteriorates.
You can activate the zoom in the following modes, all
of which can be set using VISCA command.
Standard Mode
Variable Mode
There are eight levels of zoom speed.
In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send
Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.
Direct Mode
Setting the zoom position enables quick
movement to the designated position.
Digital Zoom ON/OFF
Focus
Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set
using VISCA Commands.
• Auto Focus Mode
The Auto Focus (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.
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical
wide end and 1200 mm at the optical tele end.
- Normal AF Mode
This is the normal mode for AF operations.
- 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.
- Zoom Trigger Mode
When the zoom is changed, the AF mode activates
for the pre-set time. Then, it stops. The initial
value is set to 5 seconds.
AF sensitivity can be set to either Normal or Low.
- Normal
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.
- Low
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.
