FEATURES

Wide Dynamic Range Technology

FCB-EX1010/FCB-EX1010P
FCB-EX490D/FCB-EX490DP

These cameras incorporate an advanced
backlight compensation technology that
dramatically improves each camera’s dynamic
range by 128 times when compared to
conventional cameras. Thanks to this new
technology, users can capture clear images even
in extreme high-contrast lighting environments.
The 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.

These cameras combine a Sony original DSP with
a 1/4-type EXview HAD CCD® (FCB-EX20D/EX20DP:
1/3-type Super HAD™ CCD II). They achieve a
high horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines, enabling
reproduction of amazingly clear and detailed
images.

High-sensitivity Images

All models

All the cameras in the FCB-EX Series deliver
exceptional picture quality thanks to Sony’s
advanced CCD technology. They provide
excellent sensitivity and low smear levels.
In particular, the FCB-EX20D/20DP incorporates
the newly developed Super HAD CCD II that offers
ultra-high sensitivity at 0.25 lx (F1.8, 50IRE).

Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone
Masking

All models

With these cameras, a maximum of eight masking
areas can be displayed on the monitoring screen.
Also, if these block cameras are integrated into a
Pan/Tilt/Zoom (P/T/Z) camera system, masked
areas are interlocked with P/T/Z movement,
regardless of the camera angle or camera
movement. Up to 24 masking areas can be preset
in the entire viewing range of a P/T/Z camera. In
addition, FCB-EX Series D version cameras can
mask unwanted or prohibited areas within an
image using a mosaic effect on top of the color
masking function.

The Auto ICR function incorporated in these
cameras offers optimal 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 near-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 camera 24/7 operation
in a variety of lighting conditions.
