INTRODUCTION

Sony continues to be on the cutting edge of the imaging industry

with the latest additions to the FCB block color camera. Sony is

enhancing its line up with the introduction of its new wide dynamic

range of block cameras.

These six new high resolution cameras all incorporate a 1/4-type

EXview HAD CCD™ with an advanced Digital Signal Processing

(DSP). This powerful combination enables these cameras to

reproduce clear and detailed images at an extremely high

horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines. With the addition of these six

new cameras, Sony’s expansive FCB-EX series offer users high quality

cameras with the choice of a 36x, 26x, and 18x zoom lens to meet

their specific monitoring application requirements.

These cameras incorporate advanced backlight compensation

technology that dramatically improves the camera dynamic range

(128x) to produce high-contrast images. In addition, an advanced

slow AE response function provides clear images even when

lighting conditions abruptly change in the monitored areas.

What’s more, these cameras are equipped with a number of

convenient new functions such as Spherical Privacy Zone Masking

with Mosaic Effect, Video Motion Detection, and Multi-Line On-

Screen Display, as well as the popular features inherited from

previous FCB-EX Series cameras such as e-Flip, Picture Freeze, and

Auto ICR.

Whether for indoor or outdoor use, Sony’s FCB-EX Series has the right

camera to match your requirements. Feature-rich and coupled

with clear and detailed images, the FCB-EX Series of color block

cameras are ideally suited for monitoring applications that

demand high performance.

MAIN FEATURES

Wide Dynamic Range

These new FCB-EX cameras incorporate an

advanced backlight compensation

technology that dramatically improves

camera dynamic range by 128 times, resulting

in clear image reproduction in extreme high-

contrast environments. These cameras

capture the same image twice – first with a

normal shutter speed, and then with a high

shutter speed. The dark areas captured at

normal shutter speed and the bright areas

captured at high shutter speed are then

combined into one image using an

advanced DSP LSI, thus clearly reproducing

the original scene.

High-Resolution Images

Combining a newly developed DSP with a

1/4-type EXview HAD CCD, these cameras

achieve a high horizontal resolution of 530 TV

lines and output amazingly clear, and

detailed images.

Slow AE Response Function*1

These cameras are equipped with a Slow AE

response function to automatically slow the

rate at which camera exposure levels

change. The rate can be set up to 32 times

slower than when Full-Auto AE or Priority

(shutter/iris) modes are selected.*2 This

function is useful when monitoring areas in

which lighting conditions change abruptly.

For example, if the camera is used to monitor

the flow of nighttime traffic when vehicle

headlights are pointed directly towards it, the

camera’s exposure level is reduced slowly.

This can allow users to monitor and identify

crucial parts of the image that surround the

headlights, such as the car’s license plate or

the driver’s face.

*1 This function can be set using VISCA™ protocol.

*2 The rate at which camera exposure levels are adjusted when in

Full-Auto AE or Priority modes is just under one second.

Powerful and Versatile Zoom

Capability/Wide Viewing Angle

The FCB-EX1010/EX1010P cameras incorporate

a powerful 36x optical zoom lens, allowing for

a zoom capability of up to 432x when used in

combination with its 12x digital zoom.

The FCB-EX990D/EX990DP cameras

incorporate a 26x optical zoom lens, and the

FCB-EX490D/EX490DP cameras incorporate

an 18x optical zoom lens. With this variety of

zoom lens, users can choose a camera that

has the appropriate zoom ratio for their

specific application requirements.

Also, the FCB-EX1010/EX1010P features a

wide viewing angle of 57.8˚ to 1.7˚ telephoto

capability, making it ideal for use in security

dome cameras.

Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone

Masking with Mosaic Effect

In addition to conventional color masking,

unwanted or prohibited areas within an image

can be masked using a mosaic effect.

A maximum of eight masking areas can be

displayed on the monitoring screen. Also,

when these block cameras are used with a

Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) camera system, masked

areas are interlocked with PTZ movements,

regardless of the camera angle or even if it is

circling. Up to 24 masking areas*3 can be

preset in the entire viewing range of the PTZ

camera.

*3 The maximum number of masking areas that can be displayed on

the monitoring screen at one time is eight. When more than eight

masking areas are preset, users should take caution to ensure that no

more than eight masking areas appear in a single view.

Video Motion Detection

These cameras incorporate a video 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 of 8 vertical

and 12 horizontal blocks.

Multi-Line On-Screen Display

Up to eleven lines with 20 characters per line

can be displayed on the monitoring screen

using VISCA commands. Users can freely

display captions on the screen such as

monitoring location, camera name, and

alarm messages, providing operators with a

user-friendly interface.

Electronic-Flip (e-Flip)

These cameras have an e-Flip function that

electronically flips an image upside down so

that it is displayed on the monitor accurately.

In a dome application for example, if a

tracked object moves beneath the camera

dome, the image is inverted to maintain the

correct orientation.

SMART (Sony Modular Automatic

Lens Reset Technology) Lens Control

These cameras incorporate SMART Lens

Control technology that monitors the focus

position of the lens during zooming and

automatically compensates for any

mechanical misalignment that may occur

over long periods of continuous usage. With

the introduction of SMART Lens Control,

periodic lens initialization is no longer required

during continuous 24-hour operation.

Auto IR-Cut Filter Removal (ICR)

These cameras incorporate an Auto ICR

function for optimized sensitivity in both day-

and night-shooting applications. At a set

level of darkness, the IR-cut filter is

automatically disabled (ICR ON) and the

infrared sensitivity is increased. At a set level

of brightness, the filter is automatically

enabled (ICR OFF). The IR-cut filter

automatically engages depending on the

ambient light, allowing the capture of

images in a variety of lighting conditions.

Picture Freeze

The FCB-EX Series of cameras are equipped

with a Picture Freeze function that allows for

the output of a still image while the camera

is panning, tilting, zooming, focusing,

initializing the lens, or performing preset

operations. For example, the camera will

output a still image before it begins to pan,

tilt, or zoom. Once the operation is

completed, the camera continues to display

images so that unnecessary images are not

displayed.
