Product overview
Sony continues to improve FCB technology with the latest E series camera modules. The FCB-EX995E/P incorporates a number of upgrades and new features in order once again drive the standard for industrial camera block technology. The FCB-EX995E/P is available in both PAL (FCB-EX995EP) and NTSC (FCB-EX995E) and adopts a number of new features designed for the digital age, including a new progressive scan ¼-type EXview HAD CCD, high resolution (up to 550 TV line) and a digital output option, supporting the future demands of digital video infrastructure. The camera module includes a newly designed 28x zoom lens and incorporates new StableZoom™ technology, which combines image stabilisation with digital zoom in order to enhance the picture and maintain horizontal angle of view, resulting in a equivalent zoom ratio of 33x optical zoom. The new 28x lens is highly durable supporting an extremely fast zoom capability (2.5 seconds from tele end to wide end). Due to the ‘bright’ nature of the new lens, when combined with the Progressive Scan sensor, the FCB-EX995E/P can operate at a minimum illumination of 0.65 lx (F1.35 measured at 50IRE). The picture quality at low light is further enhanced via the combined 2D/3D superior Enhanced Noise Reduction capability – with 5 levels – in. This together with an auto on/off Wide Dynamic Range, and auto ICR function makes the FCB-EX995E/P particularly suitable for integration into challenging outdoor video surveillance monitoring applications. In order to meet a wider range of applications, the FCB-EX995E/P also comes equipped with evermore sophisticated additional specifications and features, including a wider operating temperature range, temperature readout, Colour Enhancement and Slow AE Response (beyond 10 minutes) as well as other features inherited from earlier FCB EX series cameras. These and other features make the FCB-EX995E/P the definitive choice for security & monitoring systems, but also suitable for low vision systems, inspection and UAV applications among others.
Product features
Please be aware that the features/specifications can differ from country to country
Excellent High Resolution Picture Quality
The FCB-EX995E/P incorporates a 1/4 type EXview HAD Progressive Scan CCD sensor that offers improved sensitivity and colour
reproduction. By combining a powerful DSP with this CCD, the camera achieves a high horizontal resolution of 550 TV lines,
providing very clear and detailed images.
Progressive Scan
Network or IP cameras typically utilise backend systems based on progressive scan. The FCB-EX995E/P is able to process images
directly in progressive scan mode in order to provide smooth consistent picture quality avoiding conversion from interlaced
scan.
Digital Output
The camera is equipped with a digital interface (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:2) which is comparable to ITU-R BT656. The video output is therefore
free from signal deterioration. Furthermore no external analogue/digital converter is required between the camera and other
equipment, bringing down the overall integration cost.
Enhanced Noise Reduction
By combining 2D and 3D noise reduction, the camera offers a wide selection of noise-reduction settings, from Level 1 to Level
5. This lets you choose the best level according to environmental conditions.
Wide Dynamic Range with New Technology
Auto Mode
In Auto mode, the Wide Dynamic Range function is automatically turned on and off, depending on the visibility of the subjects
and background.
Interlace Wide-D and Progressive Wide-D Modes
There are two modes of Wide D — Interlace mode which provides better performance with moving subjects, and Progressive mode
which provides clearer images of still subjects.
Image Stabilisation
In StableZoom™ mode, image stabilization starts naturally without bringing an abrupt change to the horizontal angle of view.
With StableZoom™ activated, an equivalent of 33x optical zoom is possible.
Compact and Lightweight Design
With a compact and lightweight design (approx. 238g/8.4 oz), the camera can be integrated into a variety of space-restricted
environments. The dimensions of the FCB-EX995E/P are the same as previous 26x FCB models allowing for easy upgrade to existing
systems.
Slow AE Response Function
The camera’s Auto Exposure speed for adapting to changes in lighting conditions can be set as slow as required, even as
slow as 10 minutes. The speed of adaptation can be slowed down in order to suit some conditions. For example, such as an underground
car park where without a change in AE response, the camera could miss some important images when car headlights appear in
the scene causing an abrupt change in lighting conditions.
