The celebrated arrival of the FCB-EH4300 (FCBEH4300) high-definition (HD) from Sony Electronics Inc is a great addition to their impressive line of color block cameras. Sony’s customary pledge for high definition expertise and excellent picture quality for applications requiring dynamic, high-resolution imaging and flexibility just became stronger! This remarkable new FCB-EH4300 (FCBEH4300) camera expands application possibilities, and features full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution. Outstanding picture quality in a compact design, this new 2 megapixel, 20x zoom, high definition color block camera is small in size (1.97 inches x 2.36 inches x 3.5 inches}, and light weight (less than .6 pounds), fitting in areas previously not available to HD block cameras. Incorporating a 1/3-type CMOS image sensor, the FCB-EH4300 (FCBEH4300) camera boasts approximately 2 million effective pixels for exceptional picture quality. Utilizing its full 1920 x 1080/30p HD, 20x Zoom, wide-dynamic range, and auto ICR, the FCB- EH4300 (FCBEH4300) compact high definition block camera is the ideal solution for Intelligent Traffic, Surveillance, remote monitoring and video conferencing. Ideally suited for low vision applications, new color enhancement options make the reading of text and pictures less challenging.  New available options include monochrome, binary, inverted and enhanced color modes. Features and Benefits:
  • Full 1920 x 1080/30p High Definition: Ideally suited for Security monitoring applications, the FCB-EH4300 block camera offers full 1920 x 1080/30p high definition video output.
  • Digital Output (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:2): The digital LVDS interface provides easy access for IP and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Thanks to the digital interface, the quality of the camera's video signal does not deteriorate. This can lead to cost savings due to the direct connection to codes/systems without the need for any additional components.
  • Auto Wide-D Mode: The FCB-EH4300 camera monitors the luminance differences within an image in high contrast environments and automatically switches on and off the Wide D feature according to the contrasted lighting environment. In addition, it is possible to select three levels of luminance differences (low/mid/high).
  • Additional Wide D Modes: In addition to the Auto Wide-D mode, the FCB-EH4300 features additional modes including: Indoor, Outdoor, One-push WB, ATW, Manual and a new Sodium Vapor Lamp Mode.
  • Auto ICR: The FCB-EH4300 features a sensitive image sensor, ideal for day/night functions at less than 0.5 lux (F1.6, 50 IRE), with high-sensitivity mode on.
