Sony
is expanding its FCB camera series to include for
the first time Progressive Scan (PS) colour block
models. The FCB-PV480 features Progressive Scan
CCD technology with square pixels, Primary Color
filters for precise color reproduction, and a
digital YUV 4:2:2 interface. This camera is an
optimum solution for high-speed shooting
applications, such as traffic monitoring, license
plate capture, and monitoring from mobile police
vehicles, thanks to its progressive scan CCD
sensor that produces high-quality images with
crisp edges. It is also a powerful solution when
it comes to still image applications. The
FCB-PV480 camera incorporates a ¼ -type Super HAD™
PS CCD with an 18x optical zoom lens. In addition,
the FCB-PV480 camera can operate with a minimum
illumination of 1.6 lux and is equipped with Auto
ICR (IR cut filter removal) for near-infrared
sensitivity. The camera outputs a VGA size image
(640 x 480) and offer frame rates of 29.97 or 25
fps (switchable). The new FCB-PV480 camera
combines unique features with many convenient
functions inherited from previous FCB models. With
its Primary Color filters and square pixel CCD,
the FCB-PV480 camera achieves precise color
reproduction and exceptional picture quality - a
must for videoconferencing, low vision, photo
booths, and document stands.
