The FCB-H10 is a true HD unit delivering 60fps combined with multistandard video support. The device also makes use of Sony’s industry leading auto-focus, auto-exposure and auto-white balance technologies to produce superior images with less external intervention. Based on a 2Mpixel 1/3 type CMOS image sensor, the FCB-H10 is designed for applications in intelligent CCTV/security, and environments that require high-quality remote shooting such as surgery lamps, crane control, remote vehicle and motorsport.
Featuring VISCA (TTL signal level) protocol, the Sony FCB-H10 eases the migration to HD by offering a total of eight different video output formats, with both HD and Standard Definition (SD) formats available. Video ouput choices include 720p (progressive) or 1080i (interlaced), 50Hz PAL or 60Hz NTSC, composite (SD) or component (HD) video. The camera module also features crop and squeeze functionality for compatibility with both 16:9 and 4:3 screen aspect ratios.
The FCB-H10 provides a high-quality image which is further enhanced by the inclusion of 10x optical zoom (up to 120x including digital). The lens provides a wide viewing angle of up to 50 degrees and a high performance ‘minimum object distance’ of 800mm (at maximum optical zoom) and lens distortion of less than 3%.
Weighing around 120g and measuring 47.2 x 43.1 x 72.2mm, the FCB-H10 can be used across the 0 to 45°C temperature range, and requires a single 6-12V power supply. It is available immediately.
