Sony’ s trusted autofocus-zoom cameras can be enhanced with the addition of Harrier technology to add more video output options.
The Sony FCB-EV9520L is a block camera with 30x optical zoom and MX662 STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor. This is ideal for capturing high-fidelity images even in very low-light scenarios. Sony’s proprietary autofocus-zoom algorithm enables zoom and focus at the same time.
However, the camera itself only provides LVDS video output and only supports the VISCA camera control protocol. These interfaces are not immediately integrateable with standard PCs and embedded systems, and additional hardware is required.
Adding a Harrier Camera Interface Board to the camera provides additional video output options. These small, closely fitting boards convert the LVDS output of the camera into USB (UVC), HDMI, Ethernet IP, 3G/HD-SDI and even HD-VLC for long cable length solutions. The interface boards provide TTL, RS-232 and RS-485 serial protocols. Additionally, the USB and IP boards support VISCA control over USB or Ethernet.
Need a low latency IP solution? Harrier IP camera hardware and firmware have been optimized to reduce latency to a minimum. Furthermore, our IP interface boards offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) and wireless options, bringing speed and versatility to any IP vision system.
For a high-quality autofocus-zoom camera with the required video output, a Sony FCB-EV9520L with integrated Harrier technology is the perfect choice.
This combination is well suited to UAV and ROV applications, as well as industrial imaging, remote monitoring and medical imaging.
Every application has different requirements. Active Silicon offers a comprehensive portfolio and can advise you on finding the right camera for your system. Our full range of AF-Zoom cameras include options with 10x to 55x zoom, Full HD or up to 4K video output and either global shutter or rolling shutter sensors.
