October 3, 2009 - Arizona based Aegis Electronic Group, Inc., a stocking distributor specializing in the distribution, integration and support of visible and Near IR cameras, components and modified integrated system solutions for industrial and machine vision imaging applications has announced the upcoming release of a new configurable, push button controller created specifically for SONY’s lines of FCB block cameras and EVI P/T/Z cameras.
Designed to work with one or multiple cameras via RS232, this small form factor controller is extremely flexible, ruggedized for use in harsh environments and can be programmed to control a majority of FCB/EVI SONY camera functions based on the needs of individual applications.
The FCB/EVI controller, because of its portability, size and ease of use is suitable for a variety of applications, especially where space and control capabilities are issues. Remote monitoring and harsh environment applications are just a few examples, and the controller is also ideal for adjusting and bench testing cameras before field installation/integration with minimal hardware requirements.
In addition to standard command capabilities, users are given the ability to control the cameras independently, allowing them to zoom in and out without disturbing any other controls and eliminates the need to switch back and forth between screens and programs.
“We are excited to be able to offer this new controller to our customers because there aren’t too many options available for users looking to control a SONY FCB block camera. The controller’s small form factor will also benefit those currently using one of the bulkier EVI pan/tilt/zoom controllers already available,” said Nicole Zamora, business development manager at Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. “Our customers rely on us to help guide them towards the best possible solutions available for each individual application. Different applications come with different equipment demands and we feel it is our responsibility to be able to offer our customers a wide range of components that, at the end of the day, can be custom tailored to be exactly what they need at a reasonable price.”
Zamora added that having a “universal” controller of this size and flexibility is great because of the versatility and future potential it holds when looking at its capabilities. Right now this controller model is created specifically for the control of the SONY FCB and EVI series cameras, but because it can be configured and programmed based on individual application needs, the number of camera models this controller might one day control is endless.
The FCB/EVI push button controller is currently available only through Aegis Electronic Group, Inc.
