FCB-IX470/IX470P
OUTLINE
The FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX470/P are color camera modules which incorporate an 18×optical zoom lens, a 4×digital zoom and
a 1/4" Super HAD CCDTM.
Including a field memory, the FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX470/P can, in addition to normal video mode, continuously output a
frozen picture, achieve slow speed shuttering with increased sensitivity, achieve mirror inversion and allow various ‘Picture
Effects’ and ‘Digital Effects’, thanks to a newly developed Digital Signal Processor.
In the FCB-IX470/P models, the internal IR cut filter may be removed by remote control, giving IR sensitivity. A built-in IR
lighting by LED may also be added. Combined use produces a minimum sensitivity of ‘0 lx’.
All models have position preset function to save and recall up to 6 shooting conditions, and extensive control is possible via
analog and VISCA™/RS-232C, with optional on screen display.

Basic/Extended Control
Basic control of the camera module functions can be done using the built-in keyboard.
In this mode, user can control zoom (fixed speed), manual focus (fixed speed), and switch AutoFocus ON/OFF.
Shutter speed is fixed 1/60s (1/50s), white balance, iris and gain are automatic.
Extended control of the camera module functions is possible by analog connections (refer to SW-JIG) and by VISCA™/
RS-232C.
Zoom
The FCB-IX47/P and FCB-IX470/P use an 18×zoom lens as well as a 4×digital zoom.
• Optical 18×, f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm (F 1.4 to F 3.0)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48°(wide end) to 2.7°(tele end).
The digital zoom is automatically switched ON at the tele end of 18×optical zoom range, with a progressive effect from 1 to
4, giving a total maximum 72×zoom ratio. Digital zoom increases the picture element size and reduces the resolution.
Extended control of zoom:
• Direct zoom position
• Zoom speed selection (8 speeds)
• Digital zoom can switched ON/OFF

FCB-IX47/IX47P
FCB-IX470/IX470P
FUNCTIONS
Focus
The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at optical wide end and 800 mm at optical tele end, and is independent of digital zoom.
The AutoFocus (AF) function adjusts automatically the focus position to maximise the high frequency content of the picture
in a center measurement area, considering the high luminance and strong contrast components.
NOTE : AVOID 24-hour continuous use of the autofocus. This may cause lens malfunction.
All of these settings are performed via RS-232C control. If not using the RS-232C, white balance, iris and gain adjustments
will be carried out automatically, and the shutter speed will be fixed at 1/60 seconds.
Extended control of focus:
• Direct focus position
• Minimum focus distance limitation
• Manual focus speed selection (8 speeds)
• AutoFocus can be set to High or Low mode
• One Push AF can be achieved in manual focus mode
• HIGH AF : High reaction speed of AF. Use this mode when shooting fast moving objects. Recommended as optimum
mode for normal NON-CONTINUOUS use.
• LOW AF : Better focus stability. In low luminance conditions, AF stops operation even when brightness changes,
enabling stable images.
White Balance
• Auto : Auto Tracing White Balance with limitations on R and B gain (3200 to 6000 K), to avoid fixing single
color scenes as ‘white’
• ATW : Auto Tracing White Balance (2000 to 10000 K)
• Indoor : 3200 K
• Outdoor : 5800 K
• One Push WB : One Push White Balance*
• Manual WB : Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each
* The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only on request of
the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting conditions, and occupying more than 1/2 of
the image, is submitted to the camera.
Selecting the One Push White Balance mode recalls the white balance data computed at the latest One Push Trigger, if the
camera has been left in power ON state, or if the lithium backup battery has been switched ON in charged condition.

•Manual : Variable Shutter, Iris and Gain
•Bright : Variable Iris and Gain (Closed to F1.6, 17 steps at 0 dB: F1.4, 7 steps form 0 to 18 dB)
•Iris Auto : Variable Gain and Shutter
•Shutter Auto : Variable Iris and Gain
•Gain Auto : Variable Iris and Shutter
* Flicker can be eliminated by setting shutter to
→1/100s for NTSC models used in countries with 50 Hz power supply frequency
→1/120s for PAL models used in countries with 60 Hz power supply frequency
AE – Shutter priority
The shutter can be set freely by the user to a total of 20 steps – 16 high speeds and 4 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set,
the speed can be 1/30s (1/25s), 1/15s (1/12s), 1/8s (1/6s), 1/4s (1/3s) for NTSC (PAL) models. The picture output is read at
normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at low rate from the CCD. AF capability is low.
In high speed mode, the shutter can be set up to 1/10000s.
The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.

AE – Bright
The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal law, according to a brightness level freely set by the
user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark and by iris when bright.
As both gain and iris are fixed, they are used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching from the automatic
exposure mode or shutter priority automatic exposure mode to the bright mode, the latest state before switching is kept as start
value.
When switching from the shutter priority automatic exposure mode to the bright mode, the bright mode control can be used
while maintaining the shutter speed set in the shutter priority automatic exposure mode. When switched to the shutter priority
automatic exposure mode, automatic exposure is started at the maintained shutter speed (both iris and gain are automatic).
AE – Shutter Auto
The iris and gain are set freely by the user, and the shutter changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject.
Slow shutter is disabled.
AE – Iris Auto
The gain and shutter are set freely by the user, and the iris changes automatically according to the brightness of the subject.
