Electronic Flip (e-Flip)
All the cameras in the FCB-EX Series have an e-Flip
function that electronically flips an image upside
down so that it is displayed on the monitor
accurately. In a dome application, for example, if
a tracked object moves beneath the camera
dome, the image is inverted to maintain the
correct orientation.
Slow AE Response Function
All of the cameras in the FCB-EX Series are equipped
with a Slow AE response function to automatically
slow the rate at which camera exposure levels
change. The rate can be set up to 32 times slower
than when Full-auto AE or Priority (shutter/iris)
modes are selected. This function is beneficial
when monitoring areas in which lighting conditions
change abruptly (e.g. underground parking lots,
traffic monitoring and control, or police cars).
Image Stabilizer
The image stabilizer function in these cameras
minimizes the appearance of shaky images caused
by low-frequency vibration, and maintains a normal
horizontal resolution. This function is useful for long-
range outdoor surveillance and traffic monitoring
applications, to reduce pole or bridge vibration.
Multi-line On-screen Display
With these cameras, up to eleven lines with 20
characters per line can be displayed on the
monitoring screen using VISCA commands. Users
can freely display captions on the screen such as
the monitoring location, camera name, and alarm
messages, providing operators with a user-friendly
interface.
Video Motion Detection
These cameras incorporate a video motion
detection function. When motion is detected
within an area of the picture designated by the
user, an alarm signal is output via the camera’s
control interface using the VISCA protocol. Users
can designate up to four detecting areas freely
from any of eight vertical and twelve horizontal
blocks.
Picture Freeze
All of the cameras in the FCB-EX Series are
equipped with a Picture Freeze function that allows
for the output of a still image while the camera is
panning, tilting, zooming, focusing, initializing the
lens, or performing preset operations. For example,
the camera will output a still image before it
begins to pan, tilt, or zoom, and once the
operation is completed, the camera continues to
display images that are currently being monitored.
This way unnecessary images are not displayed.
SMART (Sony Modular Automatic
Lens Reset Technology) Lens Control
All of the cameras in the FCB-EX Series feature this
function. Each incorporates SMART Lens Control
technology, which monitors the focus position of
the lens while zooming, and automatically
compensates for any mechanical misalignment
that may occur over long periods of continuous
usage. With this beneficial feature, periodic lens
initialization is no longer required during
continuous 24-hour operation.
