Jason,

I'm not up on tech jargon it seems - what's "sloppy focus"?

Focus is handled by the cameras. The quality of the compression is  
handled by the VIC.

If you have focus issues on the cameras due to lighting/zooming/ 
contrast issues you will need to address this with the camera itself.  
You can switch focus to manual if for example you have something that  
moves in front of the camera repeatedly causing it to refocus often  
while on a main subject (like someone walking in front of the  
camera), etc.

Depends on the particular camera, but all the Canon and Sony ones  
i've used do it the same way.
