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)?

Thanks very much.

    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.

    I'm showing the same url, but that doesn't say much. Go to amx.com -> tech center -> search devices. Put evi in the model field, sony in the manufacturer field. You get four results, one of which is evid70.

    Aye, it worked.

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

    Many thanks!

    I think there is a results / page limit on the search function, so you often have to be more specific esp with a large manufacturer like Sony
