Extended Commands
Extended commands support the following functions
(described previously).
Turn on this mode (for details, see “Extended Mode” in
“Register Setting” on page 54) to enable the following
functions.
• Exposure Compensation
The setting can be set in steps of approximately 0.2dB
(–128 (00h) to approxi127 (FFh)).
For details, see page 10.
• Aperture Control
The setting can be set to 256 levels (00h to FFh).
For details, see page 10.
• Custom Color Gain
You can configure the color gain.
The initial setting is 80h and the setting can be set to
256 levels from 00h to FFh.
The higher the setting value, the higher the color
saturation. The lower the setting value, the lower the
color saturation.
You can set the color saturation more widely and
finely than the normal color gain variable.
For details, see page 13.
• Custom Color Phase
You can configure the color phase.
The initial setting is 80h and the setting can be set to
256 levels from 00h to FFh.
The higher the setting value, the color phase shifts to
the + side. The lower the setting value, the color phase
shifts to the − side.
You can set the color phase more finely than the
normal color phase variable.
For details, see page 13.
• Auto ICR Mode
The setting of ICR ON→OFF threshold can be set
when Auto ICR is on.
The setting range is 0 step (00h) to 255 step (FFh).
The setting of ICR OFF→ON threshold (On Level)
can be set when Auto ICR is on.
The setting range is 0 step (00h) to 28 step (1Ch).
For details, see page 13.
Note
When the extended mode is Off, CMD_NOT_EXEC
will be returned if you send the extended commands
to the camera.
When the extended mode is On, CMD_NOT_EXEC
will be returned if you send the normal commands to
the camera.
User’s Updating
Overview
The details on the firmware version upgrade are
described.
To perform the firmware version upgrade, the
following three steps are required.
1) Shifting to the maintenance mode using the Visca
command
2) Binary transmission (X model protocol) of the
firmware in the maintenance mode
3) Finalizing setting using the Visca command
Each step is described as follows.
1) Shifting to the maintenance mode using the Visca
command
After entering the standby mode using the Visca
command, the unit shifts to the maintenance mode.
Note that if the power is turned off during the
writing, the program will be broken and cannot be
restored.
2) Binary transmission (X model protocol) of the
firmware in the maintenance mode

In the maintenance mode, the terminal software
capable of sending the character command is used.
The terminal software that is provided with the
XMODEM binary transfer protocol is used.
When you transfer the camera firmware (uug.bin
file) using this function, the transferred file is
written in FlashROM. The writing takes
approximately 6 minutes.
Note that if the power is turned OFF during
writing, the program may be broken and may not
be restorable.
After the writing is completed, the unit restarts
automatically, and then the camera firmware is
started.
3) Finalizing setting using the Visca command
The finalizing setting is performed using the Visca
command.
You cannot read the correct camera firmware
version without performing this setting. Be sure to
perform this setting.
