The Sony EVI-D100 is a remote controlled Pan/Tilt/Zoom video camera that is compact and easy to use. The advanced CCD combined with a smooth and quiet pan and tilt mechanism give high quality and convenient video production for remote conferencing, remote education, training, surveillance, and webcasting. Additional advantages are provided by easy to use presets, daisy-chaining capability and various picture effects.

High Speed and Wide Range Pan and Tilt
The camera offers a pan range of +/- 100 degrees and maximum pan speed of 300 degrees per second. Tilt angle ranges +/- 25 degrees and maximum tilt speed 125 degrees per second. Because the camera uses a gearless mechanism, the result is a drastic reduction in motor interference compared to conventional models.
10 x Optical Zoom
The EVI-D100 incorporates a high quality 10 times zoom lens that, at its widest, offers 65 degrees of horizontal view. For even greater close-up images, the camera also has a 4x digital zoom feature.
Six Pre-Set Positions
The user may store up to 6 predetermined positions of the pan/tilt/zoom/focus for instant recall. The presets also include picture parameters like white balance and exposure features. A battery backup system insures the presets remain in memory even when the camera is powered down.
Special Effects
The EVI-D100 has the ability to render special effect images for a variety of production requirements. The special picture effects include mirror image, still image, pastel, negative/positive reversal, and high contrast.
Computer Control
The camera uses the industry standard RS-232C control protocol. The interface on the camera is an 8-pin that uses VISCA software. All the camera and pan/tilt settings can be controlled by a personal computer.

          Comments about Sony EVI-D100 1/4" CCD Remote Control Communications Camera:

          I bought this as a replacement for one that has been in use for over 5 years in a classroom environment. The other was dropped during a small renovation project; didn't fail on it's own. Professors and student alike find using the D100 intuitive, with good resolution and focus. Will need to switch to digital at some point soon, the that will require redesigning the entire system. Replacing the dependable camera was the most economic choice.

                      Something in work install the camera, so really don't know if is easy to install or not.
                      The great about this camera for me was the speed of the pan/tilt motion.
                      Another great was that automatic shut off when the cam is not in use anymore.
                      The supplied remote controller is an excellent friend when you are in middle of a conference.
                      I give to this product 8.9 of 10.
                      thank you

                      We use this to record church services on DVD and to put on the website. It has 6 programmable preset positions and works great. This is the second one we have purchased. This replaced an identical one that we bought used a few years ago.

                                  Comments about Sony EVI-D100 1/4" CCD Remote Control Communications Camera:

                                  Very easy to use.
                                  Worked perfectly right out of the box.
                                  Used it with RS-232 protocol for home control system.
                                  Image is great! Close up is stunning.
                                  Sony quality!
