HD kamera til indbygning med 30x zoom
Sony lancerer high-end famile af digitale videokamerer til indbygning i bl.a. industrielle applikationer (in english).
Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions division has announced a new flagship camera module to further advance its range of digital OEM video cameras. The new module combines Sony's renowned, ultra-sensitive Exmor(TM) CMOS sensor with a 30x optical zoom to deliver exceptional picture clarity for transport, security and low vision applications.
The FCB-EH6500's 1/2.8-type colour sensor delivers true HD (1080p) video at 30fps. Versus the previous flagship device, the FCB-EH6300, the camera also extends the viewing angle by over 7 per cent (59.5o at 1080p, 40.6o at 720p), increases the focal range by 50 per cent (f=4.3 to 129mm) yet maintains a minimum required illumination of just 0.5lx*.
The camera module is amongst the most efficient on the market, requiring just 3.4W (4.7W when the motors are active); and operational from -5 oC to 60 oC. It comes with a range of features and picture effects that include a 12x digital zoom (360x total), privacy zone masking, motion detection, colour enhancement, e-flip, mirror image and nega-art and a diverse array of white balance models.
Matthew Swinney, senior product marketing manager at Sony comments.
- The number of applications that use algorithms to exploit video data has grown exponentially, exceptional image quality is therefore essential. We work in close collaboration with Sony's sensor development team to deliver the best possible picture. From this, and the 50 per cent zoom improvement our customers' applications can deliver even more reliable results.
Like all FCB-E and FCB-EH range cameras, the module outputs HD images in either digital (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:2 via LVDS) or analogue (Y/Pb/Pr). Users can change the video resolution and speed on the fly, shifting from 1080p at 30fps to 720p at 60fps without restarting the device.
The camera, which measures 50x60x89.7mm and weighs 240g, will be available from H2 2012.
