Sony FCB camera block
In the rapid development and popularization of the UAV industry, the importance of high-definition cameras has become increasingly prominent. As the “eyes” of the drone, the high-definition camera can help users obtain clearer and more accurate image data, improve the flight speed and work efficiency of the drone.
SONY FCB-EV7520 integrated HD camera module was once one of the hottest movements in the UAV industry, helping more than 1000+ UAV companies to provide them with high-definition video capture and transmission solutions to help them stand out in the market competition.
With the development of technology and changes in market demand, SONY announced that it would stop production of FCB-EV7520, and then introduce the more advanced FCB-EV9520L to replace them, and FCB-EV9520L will also replace FCB-EV7520. Shock debut of the 9th Shenzhen International UAV Exhibition in 2024.
SONY FCB-EV9520L, as an alternative upgrade scheme, enterprise users are more concerned about its update cost and functional performance, is it more advantageous than FCB-EV7520?
The first is the cost of renewal,
SONY FCB-EV9520L and FCB-EV7520 series have the same size housing, lighter weight, and compatible LVDS output pin definition, which can be highly compatible with the original UAV platform, and most UAV users can carry out direct replacement without changing the original mold specifications. Save debugging time and save the cost of re-opening mold.
The FCB-EV9520L uses more advanced hardware technology and performance equipment, which is slightly higher than the FCB-EV7520 in price, but the FCB-EV9520L can be highly compatible with the original UAV platform, and can help UAV users achieve more stable and higher quality picture capture in complex environments.
In order to meet the needs of UAV “load reduction”, our company specially modified the weight reduction version for FCB-EV9520L. After the weight reduction revision, its weight was reduced from 239g to 165g. This weight reduction transformation is of great significance for UAV application, which can reduce the load of the whole system and improve the flight performance and endurance of UAV.
Second, in terms of functionality and performance,
FCB-EV9520L, as an upgrade of FCB-EV7520, has a more advanced image sensor, super image stabilization, super starlight night vision, wide dynamic, sensitive and three-area function, which can provide better video quality and more stable picture, etc. And it can help drone users achieve more stable and higher quality picture capture in complex environments, which can meet the high standard requirements of UAV aerial photography, traffic monitoring, environmental weather monitoring, intelligent agriculture and animal husbandry industry and other application scenarios.

And finally, image processing,
SONY FCB-EV9520L, like FCB-EV7520, can interconnect with various interface coding control boards, including HD-HDMI, 3G-SDI, MIPI, USB3.0, SDI/HDMI/CVBS and other coding control boards, plug and play, without any setting. You can output high-definition video signals. It can meet the video transmission requirements of different application scenarios in the UAV industry.
If you want to know more about SONY FCB-EV9520L and experience its performance functions, welcome to the 9th Shenzhen International UAV Exhibition in 2024 to experience and exchange. We will be waiting for you in Hall 1B332, Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian), May 24-26.
