Command List D30/D31 Mode Overview Switching the Mode The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVID100/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. When you send those commands to an EVI-D100/P whose D30/D31 mode is set to ON, the camera translates the parameters for the EVI-D30/D31 to those for the EVI-D100/P and executes the command. The following parameters are subject to translation. • Zoom speed • Zoom position • Focus position • Shutter speed • Pan-tilt speed • Pan-tilt position Notes • Even if you set the D30/D31 mode to ON, the EVID100/P may not emulate the EVI-D30/D31 perfectly. This is caused by differences in hardware between the two models. • The functions that are provided with the EVI-D30/ D31 but not with the EVI-D100/P cannot be executed. You can switch the D30/D31 mode ON or OFF by switching the D30/D31 mode switch at the bottom of the EVI-D100/P. To change the D30/D31 mode setting, move the D30/D31 mode 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. If you change the switch setting while the camera's power is on, the mode of the camera will not change. At the moment you turn the D30/D31 mode on or off, the data backed up in the camera is erased and the settings return to their initial values. 40
