4K-6GSDI Interface for Sony FCB-ER8300 Camera

4K-6GSDI Interface  for the Sony Eagle camera are the ideal combination.

Take the Sony Eagle FCB-ER8300 camera for example. Alone, it is certainly impressive: a color block camera with a back-illuminated 1/2.3-type Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and Quad Full High Definition (QFHD), driven by a Sony image processor. Delivering 3840 x 2160 pixels at up to30 frames per second (fps), the FCB-ER8300 also has a 73.4 degree horizontal field of view. With a 10mm working distance on the wide end to 800mm on the telephoto end, it also has an excellent 20x optical zoom lens, which when combined with super resolution zoom, maintains 4K resolution at up to 20x zoom within a compact form camera. The FCB-ER8300 supports a 4K video format in 4K resolution with output flexibility. Depending on the application and configuration, selection of the appropriate format that’s right for the purpose can be chosen, with up to eight video formats from HD to 4K.

With high-speed, auto-focus, and an integrated zoom lens (12x optical and 144x digital), the FCB-ER8300 has automatic distortion and shading correction. Adaptive (area specific) noise reduction, ePTZ (electronic Pan Tilt Zoom), and SRZ (Super Resolution Zoom) account for the camera’s sharpness and perfect color reproduction, even in low light environments. Perfect for usages that require situational awareness when zoomed out, and excellent detail for identification when zoomed in. The FCB-ER8300 is at its best for security surveillance, video conferencing, drones, broadcasting, casinos, halls, airports and stadiums as well as Intelligent Traffic systems for railways, highways and parking and medical applications. With a compact, lightweight body at only 2.36" W x 2.52" H x 4.13" D (60 x 64 x 105 mm W x H x D), and weighing only 13.58 ounces (385 grams), allows for installation in multiple different space-restricted applications. The Sony FCB-ER8300 incorporates Clear Image Zoom, a Sony exclusive by Pixel Super Resolution Technology. Initially, the user is able to increase the image size to its utmost optical magnification, next, using the Clear Image Zoom Technology, it further enlarges the image by an additional 2x. This creates dependable, breath-taking images, in spite of the increased zoom ratio.

Combinations in the technological world allow each individual part to excel.

While the FCB-ER8300 QFHD camera is a video step into the future, combined with the Aegis 4K-6GSDI (Serial Digital Interface) designed specifically for this Sony Eagle camera, it becomes a further beast of its own. The 4K-6GSDI Interface module offer a complete solution for the acquisition of digital images in real-time. The board transmits and filters the signal from the 4K camera to provide optimum quality imaging. The 4K-6GSDI Interface is armed with a broadcast digital video output of 6G-SDI. This SDI standard is designed to be twice as fast as 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps), delivering a lightning speed of nearly 6 gigabits per second. This FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) interface board is based for high performance image processing, transmitting and filtering the signal from the camera and providing ideal image quality. By acquiring digital images in real-time with instant availability of image information, it also provides real-time video scaling to select sized windows. A single 4K HD video image, thanks to this real-time scaling feature, becomes a 4K pass through image, a 1080p Region Of Interest (ROI) image with ePTZ (on the Sony FCB-ER8300), or a 720p ROI with ePTZ. Camera communications and settings are TTL (Time-To-Live, used to control the lifespan of data on a network), RX and TX serial communication or RS232 Sony VISCA camera control protocol. The 4K-6GSDI Interface is able to support High Definition (HD) modes of 2160p25/29.97 Hz, 1080p50/59.94 - 1080p25/29.97, 720p 50/59.94. Its ultra-low jitter feature improves signal quality by removing shaking, and providing long distance cable management for signals transmitted over long traces and cables, with video format selection by micro switch. It has a wide temperature range from 0°C to 60°C environmentally, to a storage temperature of -20°C to 60°C. With a much lower power consumption than many other devices, the 4K-6GSDI Interface’s use is 6 to 12 VDC (Volts Direct Current), or 6 W including the camera. Clean and modular in design, the 4K-6GSDI Interface is compact in size, at 2.6” x 2.17” x .79”, or 65 (H) x 55 (L) x 20 (P) mm, aligning itself perfectly to the FCB-ER8300 camera easily and efficiently.
