Overview
The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P using VISCA commands for the
EVI-D70/P. Most of the VISCA commands for the
EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P correspond to one for
the EVI-D70/P. However, some of the VISCA
commands for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P are
different from those for the EVI-D70/P in definitions
of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P whose D70 mode is set to ON, the
camera translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to
those for the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P and
executes the command. The following parameters are
subject to translation.
Zoom position
Pan-tilt speed
Pan-tilt position
Notes
Even if you set the D70 mode to ON, the EVI-
D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P may not emulate the
EVI-D70/P perfectly. This is caused by differences
in hardware between the two models.
The functions that are provided with the EVI-D70/
P but not with the EVI-D80N/D80P/D90N/D90P
cannot be executed.
Switching the Mode
You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching
the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-D80N/
D80P/D90N/D90P. To change the D70 mode setting,
move the BOTTOM switch to ON or OFF while the
camera’s power is off or the camera is in standby mode.
Then, turn the power on by connecting the camera to
an AC outlet or by using the VISCA commands or the
Remote Commander.
It takes about 7-16 seconds for the image to be
displayed after Pan/Tilt initialization motion has
stopped.
Do not turn off DC power until the image has been
displayed.
The mode will not change if you change the switch
setting of the BOTTOM switch after the power has
been turned on.
After you change the mode, previously saved position
preset data will be lost. (Zoom, Pan/Tilt positions, etc.
will be reset to their initial settings.)
