  • External Synchronization (FCB-ER8550): Synchronizes video signals from multiple cameras to prevent image distortion during camera switching.
  • Super Resolution Zoom: Provides up to 30x zoom without degrading image quality, using Sony's "By Pixel Super Resolution technology."
  • Optical Image Stabilizer (FCB-ES8230): Reduces image blurring caused by vibrations, maintaining high-quality images.
  • Various Video Outputs: Supports outputs from 4K to SD, accommodating different display requirements.
Additional Features:
  • Auto ICR: Automatically adjusts infrared cut filter settings based on lighting conditions.
  • Noise Reduction: Enhances image clarity by removing random and nonrandom noise.
  • Defog Mode: Improves image clarity in foggy conditions with adjustable levels.
  • Visibility Enhancer: Adjusts brightness and contrast to enhance image visibility in various scenes.
  • Privacy Zone Masking: Masks private areas within the camera's field of view to protect privacy.
  • StableZoom: Combines optical and digital zoom with image stabilization for enhanced zoom capabilities.
Specifications:
  • Image Sensors: FCB-ER8550/ER8530 use a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor, while FCB-ES8230 uses a 1.0-type sensor.
  • Output Pixels: Supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 (QFHD).
  • Minimum Illumination: Varies by model, with high sensitivity modes available.
  • Zoom Capabilities: Optical zoom ranges from 12x to 20x, with Super Resolution Zoom extending capabilities further.
  • Power Requirements: Operates on 6.0 V to 12.0 V DC, with varying power consumption based on model and operation.
  • Operating Conditions: Suitable for temperatures ranging from -5 °C to +60 °C and humidity levels from 20% to 80%.
Applications: The cameras are ideal for applications requiring high-resolution imaging and synchronization, such as sporting event analysis, where multiple cameras can be used to stitch images together for comprehensive coverage.

FCB-4K Series Colour Block Camera Features 4K CMOS sensor for crisp image quality External synchronization function (FCB-ER8550) This function synchronizes video signals from multiple video cameras to prevent image distortion that may occur when switching camera images. Super Resolution Zoom • FCB-ER8550/ER8530 has 30x zoom, which is achieved in conjunction with optical 20x zoom. • Our unique “By Pixel Super Resolution technology” prevents image degradation when an image is enlarged, providing excellent images at their original resolution. Various video outputs from 4K to SD Optical image stabilizer (FCB-ES8230) This function stabilizes the lens to reduce image degradation and capture high-quality images. Other Features • Auto ICR • Noise Reduction (NR) • Defog (low/mid/high) • Visibility Enhancer (VE) • Privacy Zone Masking • Slow AE Response FCB-ER8550 (with external synchronisation) FCB-ER8530 • 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor • Quad Full HD • Optical Zoom 20x (Super Resolution Zoom 30x) FCB-ES8230 (with ND filter) • 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor • Quad Full HD • Optical Zoom 12x (Super Resolution Zoom 18x) A new 4K camera block series featuring Sony’s most advanced Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. FCB-ER8550/ER8530 is similar in size as the FCB-EV series, full HD models with 30x optical zoom, making them easily interchangeable with each other. FCB-ER8550 has an external synchronization function that allows synchronized image capturing by multiple cameras. FCB-ES8230 has a 1.0-type sensor with a large light receiving area that can produce clear, noiseless, high-definition images and incorporates mechanical optical stabilization.
