About the iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine
Introduction
About the Sony Block Camera FCB-H11
The FCB-H11 is an industrial high definition camera from Sony
®
with Day and Night functionality that
enables the camera to capture high-quality color images during the day and clear, black-and-white
images at night. In addition, the Sony FCB-H11 camera achieves a minimum illumination of 1.0 lux by
dynamically removing the infrared cut filter and allows the spectral response to extend into the near
infrared range. The FCB-H11 incorporates an HD CMOS image sensor with close to two million
effective pixels, and provides a 16 x 9 aspect ratio. This camera includes multi-format video outputs for
high-definition applications, and both 1080i and 720p signal formats are supported. Consult the Sony
website at www.sony.com for more information about the FCB-H11 block camera.
The iPORT SB-Pro IP Engine
The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine transforms a Sony FCB-H11 block camera into a GigE Vision
®
and
GenICam TM compliant camera. The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine transmits high-definition video with low,
predictable latency and has applications in military vetronics, medical imaging, and industrial
inspection systems. Future variants of the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine will be compatible with other Sony
HD and EX/E series cameras. However, this guide is restricted to the features and operation of the
iPORT SB-Pro IP engine as it applies to the Sony FCB-H11 camera.
With the implementation of both GigE Vision and GenICam communication standards over a Gigabit
Ethernet link, the iPORT SB-Pro IP engine expands interoperability between products. This operating
flexibility lowers both system cost and complexity. The Gigabit Ethernet protocol provides cabling
distances of up to 100m using standard CAT5e/6 cabling; you can incorporate off-the-shelf switches to
provide even further distances. Decreased cable size and increased flexibility are realized when using
Gigabit Ethernet for video transfer.
The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine is built with connectors for power, general purpose inputs and outputs
(GPIO) and serial communication.
The iPORT SB-Pro is compatible with the Pleora Technologies vDisplay HDMI-Pro video receiver, and
the eBUS™ SDK. The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine enables the Sony FCB-H11 block camera to become
part of a complete networked video connectivity solution.
Key features of the Sony FCB-H11 camera features are mapped to the GenICam interface, and allow
system integrators to easily differentiate their offerings; increase interoperability; and, introduce
networking capabilities. The iPORT SB-Pro IP engine performs deserialization of LVDS 24-bit colour
from the Sony FCB-H11 on the daughter card and sends this deserialized data to the main board. The
main board performs optional de-interlacing of all interlaced video.
