Sony Introduces New FCB-EX11D/DP Color Block Cameras

It’s true what they say. Good things do come in small packages. Sony’s new FCB-EX11D and FCBEX11DP
ultra-compact color block cameras can be easily integrated into mini-dome housings for
superb observation. Their superb picture quality, excellent auto-focus performance and small size
make them contenders in space restricted environments such as underground inspection systems of oil
and gas pipes, low vision systems, police vehicles and more.
These new color block cameras inherit many of the outstanding features found in Sony’s new FCB D
version cameras such as Slow AE Response, Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone Masking and Multi-line onscreen
display.
Features
HIGH RESOLUTION OF 530 TV LINES
The FCB-EX11D and FCB-EX11DP cameras incorporate a ¼-type EXview HAD™ CCD with an Advanced Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to reproduce clear, detailed images at an extremely
high horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines (compared to 470 TV lines found in the FCBIX11A/
IX11AP).
POWERFUL & VERSATILE ZOOM CAPABILITY
The FCB-EX11D/EX11DP cameras are equipped with a 10x optical zoom lens and feature 120x
Zoom Ratio (10x Optical, 12x Digital) compared to the FCB-IX11A/IX11AP’s 40x Zoom Ratio
(10x Optical, 4x Digital).
VIDEO MOTION DETECTION – NEW!
As with Sony’s FCB D version cameras, these new FCBs feature a motion detection function.
When motion is detected within an area of the picture designated by the user, an alarm signal
is output via the camera’s control interface using the VISCA™ protocol. Users can designate up
to four detecting areas freely from any 8 vertical and 12 horizontal blocks. The video motion
detection function is useful for unattended monitoring/recording found in security
applications.
