  • Page 40: D30/D31 Mode

    The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVI- D100/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/ D31. Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However, some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in definitions of parameters.

  • Page 43: Shutter Speed

    (1/10000) 0013h Translation when answering inquiry commands The EVI-D100/P translates its parameters to the D30/ D31’s parameters and sends them back. However, during the period from the instant the camera accepts the CAM_Shutter Direct command to the instant the camera accepts another CAM_Shutter or CAM_AE command, it sends back the current D30/D31 parameters.
  • Page 44 Pan/tilt speed The actual speed that is defined by the parameters corresponds to that of the EVI-D30/D31. When the camera accepts commands such as Pan- tiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall, the operation speed is equal to the speed when the D30/ D31 mode is OFF.
