The popular Sony FCB color block camera series are used in a
variety of applications ranging from surveillance to traffic
monitoring and in many other visual communication
environments.
These cameras
are specifically designed to easily integrate into security domes,
police vehicles, photo booths, document stands, videoconferencing,
and low vision systems.
Sony is expanding its FCB camera series to include for the first
time Progressive Scan (PS) color block models. The FCB-PV Series
features Progressive Scan CCD technology with square pixels,
Primary Color filters for precise color reproduction, and a digital
YUV 4:2:2 interface. The ultra-compact FCB-PV10 color block camera
incorporates a 1/4-type Super HAD PS CCD with a 10x optical zoom
lens. Both cameras output a VGA size image (640 x 480) and offer
frame rates of 29.97 or 25 fps (switchable).
These FCB-PV cameras are the perfect match for IP camera
applications that require a direct digital video connection. With
their digital video interface, the FCB-PV series enables OEMs to
easily
integrate these cameras with fewer conversions such as A/D and I/P
(interlace to progressive) in their systems, resulting in
outstanding image quality and lower system cost.
The new Sony FCB-PV Series combines unique features with many
convenient functions inherited from previous FCB models. These
FCB-PV cameras are an optimum solution for high-speed shooting
applications, such as traffic monitoring, license plate capture,
and monitoring from mobile police vehicles, thanks to its
progressive scan CCD sensor that produces high-quality images with
crisp edges. These FCB-PV cameras are also a powerful solution when
it comes to still
image applications.
