FCB-PV480

Key Features

features

Sony is expanding its FCB camera series to include for the first time Progressive Scan (PS) colour block models. The FCB-PV Series features Progressive Scan CCD technology with square pixels, Primary Colour filters for precise colour reproduction, and a digital YUV 4:2:2 interface. The new FCB-PV480 colour block camera incorporates a 1/4-type Super HADTM PS CCD with an 18x optical zoom lens. The ultra-compact FCBPV10 colour block camera incorporates a 1/4-type Super HAD PS CCD with a 10x optical zoom lens. In addition, the FCB-PV480 camera can operate with a minimum illumination of 1.6 lux and is equipped with Auto ICR (IR cut filter removal) for near-infrared sensitivity. 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 OEM s 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. With their Primary Colour filters and square pixel CCD, the FCB-PV cameras achieve precise colour reproduction and exceptional picture quality - a must for videoconferencing, low vision, photo booths, and document stands.
