Colour camera combines exceptional performance with small size
The FCB-EX11D camera module from Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions Division is described as a lightweight, ultra-compact addition to the company's range of FCB block cameras.
Measuring just 35.9 mm by 40.8 mm by 59.2 mm, and weighing only 95 g, it delivers exceptional picture quality for its size, claims the firm.
The FCB-EX11D fulfils the needs of designers of miniature pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) security dome and traffic monitoring systems, as well as any application where space is restricted, such as in-vehicle and video-conferencing equipment. Despite its small size, it delivers a high resolution of up to 530 TV lines, and a comprehensive feature set that includes 10X optical zoom, 12X digital zoom, enhanced spherical privacy masking, a slow auto-exposure (AE) function and a multi-line display
Available in PAL or NTSC versions, with up to 44 000 and 380 000 pixel resolution, respectively, the FCB-EX11D is based on a 1/4-type EXview HAD CCD that is sensitive to near infrared energy, enabling it to function well in low light conditions. This capability is further enhanced by a slow auto-exposure response, which enables areas where lighting is prone to abrupt changes to be monitored.
To ensure that it conforms to national and international privacy regulations and to enable it to be used in wide-area monitoring applications, the FCB-EX11D includes an enhanced version of Sony's established spherical privacy zone masking technology. This includes a mosaic-style masking option, in addition to half-tone and coloured block masks.
The FCB-EX11D's on-screen display facilities allow integrators to provide operators with a user-friendly interface, using industry-standard VISCA commands. A high-speed (38.4 kbit/s) serial data interface and TTL signal-level control, also using the VISCA protocol, allow easy systems integration.
With a maximum field-of-view of 46°, the FCB-EX11D offers a wide range of features common to Sony's FCB family of camera modules. These include an improved built-in motion detection facility and an electronic flip (E-Flip) function that can invert an image so that it is displayed correctly.
