INTRODUCTION
Sony, a leader in high-definition (HD) technology, is enhancing its FCB-EH Block Camera Series with the new FCB-EH6500, and
upgrading the FCB-EH3400 and FCB-EH3300 cameras. As demand grows for high-quality, high-resolution images that only HD
can deliver, the FCB-EH Series now offers a range of 12x to 30x optical zoom lenses with outstanding features for surveillance,
intelligent traffic, unmanned vehicles, photo booths, police vehicles, low vision and videoconferencing applications.
The flagship FCB-EH6500 camera incorporates a 1/2.8-type Exmor® CMOS image sensor with Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution,
and achieves excellent zoom performance with a 30x optical zoom lens. The FCB-EH6300 is also equipped with the same
image sensor to deliver Full HD resolution with a 20x optical zoom lens.
The other models in the series all incorporate a ¼-type Exmor CMOS image sensor with HD (1280x720) resolution. The newly
upgraded models, the FCB-EH3410 and FCB-EH3310, deliver improved image sharpness compared to their predecessors (the
FCB-EH3400 and FCB-EH3300), making them ideal for security applications. And the smallest camera in the FCB-EH Series is
the cost effective FCB-EH3150, which along with its HD resolution sensor, features a 12x optical lens.
All of these cameras inherit a multitude of features from Sony’s renowned FCB Series such as Wide-D*, Auto ICR, and Spherical
Privacy Zone Masking. With this breadth of choice, it has never been easier to select the right Sony camera for your specific
imaging applications.

KEY FEATURES
Excellent high-definition (HD) picture quality
Exmor® CMOS sensor achieves high image quality
and high sensitivity
Powerful zoom capability
Bright, fast, and robust 30x zoom lens
The FCB-EH6500 incorporates a new 30x bright zoom lens with F1.6.
This lens has a fast-zooming capability (approx. 3.2 seconds from tele end
to wide end) and high durability.
Various output modes
HD (High Definition)
Analog: Component (Y/Pb/Pr)
Digital: Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:2 via LVDS (Y: 8-bit, C: 8-bit, V-sync, H-sync, Field, and Clock)
SD (Standard Definition)
VBS
Simple connection – one cable, one connector
•Covering video, VISCA communication, and power supply with a single cable
•Supports both 30-pin micro coaxial (digital and analog output) and
24-pin FFC (analog output only)*1 interfaces
Image Stabilization*
The FCB-EH6500 and FCB-EH3410 are equipped with an Image-stabilization
function which minimizes the appearance of shaky images caused by
low-frequency vibration. This function is useful for outdoor surveillance and
traffic monitoring applications.
StableZoom™
StableZoom mode uses a predetermined optical zoom ratio to enable the
Image-stabilization function of the camera. Once stabilization begins,
it gradually combines the optical and digital zoom to absorb shaky
movements. In StableZoom mode, this function starts naturally without
bringing an abrupt change to the horizontal angle of view.
2
Video mode changes on the fly
Without any power cycle, this function makes it possible to change the
video mode remotely, from 1080p/29.97 to 720p/59.94 mode for example.
This function enables the user to change the video resolution of the camera
through the software power reset function.
Security-oriented functions include:
•Wide-D technology (On/Off/Auto/Ratio fix)
•Day/Night function (On/Off/Auto/Threshold enabled)
•Digital noise reduction (up to five levels)
•Spherical Privacy Zone Masking (24 zones with various PTZ controls)
•Motion detection alarm (four zones with several triggering and threshold
modes)
Other Features
•Various modes for White Balance
(Auto, ATW, Indoor, Outdoor, Outdoor Auto, Sodium Vapor Lamp Fix/Auto,
One-push, Manual)
•Picture effects
(E-Flip, Nega Art, Black & White, Mirror Image, Color Enhancement)
•Picture freeze
•Temperature readout
•Slow AE response (approx. five minutes)
•Title display (20 characters per line, max. 11 lines)
•Camera mode display (English)
•Electronic shutter/slow shutter
•Spot AE
•High Resolution mode
•IR Focus Correction function
•Four presets for gamma control
•Four levels of chrominance suppression
*1 The FCB-EH3150 does not have a 24-pin FFC.
*2 When image stabilization is activated, residual movement may appear at
the top and bottom of the image.
