Description:

Sony is expanding its popular FCB block camera series with the introduction of eight new E Version block cameras. The SONY FCB-EX48EP (PAL) & FCB-EX48E (NTSC) cameras combine superb picture quality with high zoom capabilities ranging from 18x to 28x.

FEATURES:
* Digital Output (ITU-R BT656)
By using the digital interface, the quality of the Sony FCB-EX48E camera's video signal does not deteriorate. This can lead to cost savings due to the direct connection to codecs/systems without the need for any additional components.
* Temperature Readout
The value of the internal temperature of the Sony FCB-EX48EP camera can be read out via the VISCA™ protocol. When checking the internal temperature of equipment (i.e., speed dome unit), it is possible to use this data to turn a fan or heater on/off inside the equipment as needed.
* Color Enhancement
Ideally suited for low vision applications, the new color enhancement options of the Sony FCB-EX48E can make reading text and pictures less challenging. Available options include monochrome, binary, inverted and enhanced color modes.
