Color CCD Camera SONY FCB-EX15EP Review

Author From skycneye.com,Special security cameras shop,supply high speed CCTV cameras.



Sony is pleased to introduce the latest additions to the E Series of block cameras the FCB-EX15E/15EP and the FCB-EX12E/12EP. These new 12x cameras provide superb picture quality with many of the features you've come to expect from the FCB camera line-up, such as digital output, color enhancement and sodium vapor lamp mode.



True Progressive Scan:



Ideally suited for IP-ready monitoring applications, the FCB-EX15E/EP cameras adopt a Progressive Scan mode to provide smooth and clear images without interlace artifact effects when viewing details in a moving image (i.e., license plate of moving vehicles, a person running). All the processing is done by the PS from the CCD readout,security camera , signal to processing to video output.



Digital Output (ITU-R BT656):



By using the digital interface, the quality of the camera's video signal is maintained with minimal deterioration. This can lead to cost savings due to the direct connection to codecs/systems without the need for any additional components.



Temperature Readout:



The value of the internal temperature of the FCB-EX15EP Version cameras can be read out via the VISCA? protocol. When checking the internal temperature of equipment (i.e., speed dome unit), it is possible to use this data to turn a fan or heater on/off inside the equipment as needed.



Color Enhancement:



Ideally suited for military and low vision applications, new color enhancement options can make reading text and pictures less challenging. Available options include monochrome, binary, inverted and enhanced color modes.

    Sony FCB-EX990DP Color CCD Camera


    Description:


    High Resolution and Wide Dynamic Range Combined in a Small, Block Color Camera! Sony is enhancing its line-up of block cameras with the introduction of its new D version wide dynamic block cameras. The FCB-EX990D high resolution camera incorporates a ?-type EXview HAD? CCD with Advanced Digital Signal Processing to reproduce clear detailed images at an extremely high horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines. The FCB-EX990D features an 26x optical zoom lens. Feature-rich and coupled with clear and detailed images the FCB-EX series of color block cameras are ideally suited for monitoring applications that demand high performance.


    FCB-EX990D HIGHLIGHTS:

    * 1/4-type EXview HAD CCD sony ccd camera

    * High Horizontal Resolution of 530 TV Lines

    * 312x Zoom Ratio (26x Optical 12x Digital)

    * Wide Dynamic Range

    * Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone Masking

    * Video Motion Detection

    * Minimum Illumination - 0.7 lx (typical)

    * E-Flip Function

    * Multi-Line On-screen Display

    * Auto ICR (IR Cut Filter Removal) Mode

    * Picture Freeze Function

    * Electronic Shutter/Slow Shutter

    * High-Speed Serial Interface (maximum 38.4 Kb/s) with TTL Signal-Level Control - VISCA protocol

    * Internal/External Sync




    FCB-EX990D FEATURES:

    * Powerful and Versatile Zoom Capability/Wide VIewing Angle

    The FCB-EX990D camera incorporates a 26x optical zoom lens.

    * High-Resolution Images

    Combining a newly developed DSP with a 1/4-type EXview HAD CCD the FCB-EX990D camera achieves a high horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines and output amazingly clear and detailed images.

    * Wide Dynamic Range

    This new FCB-EX990D camera incorporates an advanced backlight compensation technology that dramatically improves the camera's dynamic range by 128 times compared to previous FCB C series cameras resulting in clear image reproduction. This camera captures the same image twice - first with a normal shutter speed and then with a high shutter speed. The dark areas captured a normal shutter speed and the bright areas captured at high shutter speed are then combined into one image using an advanced DSP clearly reproducing the original scene. Wide Dynamic Range is ideal for lobby camera applications where the camera is exposing both people indoors and outdoor parking lot areas within the same picture.

    * Video Motion Detection

    Within a screen divided into 12 horizontal and 8 vertical blocks the sony FCB-EX990D camera can detect a change in luminance within designated areas (up to 4 areas) and specifies its position.

    The video motion detection function is useful for unattended monitoring/recording found in security applications. The camera is viewing a fixed position and is able to record when an intruder is detected. An alarm signal is output via the camera's control interface using the VISCA? protocol.

    * Slow AE Response Function

    The new FCB-EX990D camera is equipped with a slow AE response function to automatically slow the rate at which camera exposure levels change. The rate can be set up to 32 times slower than when Full-Auto AE or Priority (shutter/iris) modes are selected. This function is useful when monitoring areas in which lighting conditions change abruptly. For example if the camera is used to monitor the flow of nighttime traffic when vehicle headlights are pointed directly towards it the camera's exposure level is reduced slowly. This can allow users to monitor and identify crucial parts of the image that surround the headlights such as the car's license plate or the driver's face.

    * Multi-Line On-Screen Display

    Up to eleven lines with 20 characters per line can be displayed on the monitoring screen using VISCA commands. Users can freely display captions on the screen such as monitoring location camera name alarm messages and providing operators with a user-friendly interface.

    * SMART (Sony Modular Automatic Lens Reset Technology) Lens Control

    The new sony FCB-EX990D camera incorporates SMART Lens Control technology that monitors the focus position of the lens during zooming and automatically compensates for any mechanical misalignment that may occur over long periods of continuous usage. With the introduction of SMART Lens Control periodic lens initialization is no longer required during continuous 24-hour operation.

    * Picture Freeze

    The FCB-EX990D camera is equipped with a Picture Freeze function that allows for the output of a still image while the camera is panning tilting zooming focusing initializing the lens or performing preset operations. For example the camera will out a still image before it begins to pan tilt or zoom. Once the operation is completed the camera continues to display images so that unnecessary images are not displayed.

    * Auto IR-Cut FIlter Removal (ICR)

    The FCB-EX990D incorporates an Auto ICR function for optimized sensitivity in both day and night-shooting applications. At a set level of darkness the IR-cut filter is automatically disabled (ICR ON) and the infrared sensitivity is increased. At a set level of brightness the filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF). The IR-cut filter automatically engages depending on the ambient light allowing the capture of images in a variety of lighting conditions.

    * Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone Masking with Mosaic Effect

    In addition to conventional color masking unwanted or prohibited areas within an image can be masked using a mosaic effect. A maximum of eight masking areas can be displayed on the monitoring screen. Also when this block camera is used with a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) camera system masked areas are interlocked with PTZ movements regardless of the camera angle or even if it is circling. Up to 24 masking areas can be preset in the entire viewing range of the PTZ camera.
