Sony is expanding its FCB camera series
to include for the first time Progressive Scan
(PS) color block models. The FCB-PV10 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-PV10 camera
incorporates a ¼ -type Super HAD™
PS CCD with an 10x optical zoom lens. The camera
outputs a VGA size image (640 x 480) and offer
frame rates of 29.97 or 25 fps (switchable). The
new FCB-PV10 camera combines unique features with
many convenient functions inherited from previous
FCB models. With its Primary Color filters and
square pixel CCD, the FCB-PV10 camera achieves
precise color reproduction and exceptional picture
quality - a must for videoconferencing, low vision,
photo booths, and document stands.
