Sony EVI-D70

Hi Guys,

How many presets a Sony EVI-D70 can have? The remote control can only take up to 6 presets, is it possible to have more preset if we're using serial control (rs-232 or rs-422)?

The D70 only supports six presets, period. Last year I needed to have 15 or 20 presets on a customer-furnished D70, so here's what I did, controlling it over RS232 using AMX's Netlinx module. First I create a variable to store my presets, and another to store the camera's current position:

persistent integer preset_storage[20][3]
volatile integer cam_pos[3]

On the RELEASE for my pan - tilt - zoom buttons, I query the camera's position and store the result in cam_pos; the three array elements store pan, tilt and zoom respectively. The preset buttons work like so: on a HOLD[20] I copy the current camera position (PTZ) into the appropriate set of three elements in the preset_storage variable; on the RELEASE, I read (x,y,z) from preset_storage and tell the camera to go to that position.

Hope this makes sense.

Couldn't find module at http://amx.com/inconcert/trednet.asp?page=device. Would you mind telling me where I can download it?

As I understood it should work for BRC-H700 in my case.

Thanks.

Aye, it worked.

Strange that it doesn't show EVID70 in the list of products if you fill only Manufacturer field.

Many thanks!

I found it lol, but in case you cant just use the EVID100 same prod. Just do , Manufacturer: Sony(of course) Device Model: evi, then search
