Sony FCB camera block
4KP60 HDMI interface board and the 4K HDMI interface board are both developed by Xuanzhan Technology, the official authorized distributor of SONY (China), specifically designed to be compatible with 4K ultra-high-definition camera modules. Although the most fundamental difference between the two lies in the frame rate output of 4K@60fps and 4K@30fps, this key parameter difference often leads to significant choice confusion for users in practical application scenarios.
When facing the predicament of technology selection, it is advisable to focus on the professional insights of Danny Wong, a senior engineer at Xuanzhan Technology, to see how he accurately breaks down the problems and provides breakthrough ideas for the industry.
I. Core Difference: Frame rate determines smoothness
4KP60 HDMI interface Board: Specifically designed for 4K60 frames cameras such as SONY FCB-ER9500 and FCB-EW9500H, it supports ultra-high-definition output of 60 frames per second (P60) at a resolution of 3840×2160. Its HDMI 2.0 interface has a bandwidth of 18Gbps, allowing for uncompressed transmission of dynamic images and completely eliminating the problems of trailing and blurring in high-speed motion scenes.
For instance, when drones take aerial photos of high-speed trains, they can clearly capture the momentary contact details between the wheels and the tracks. In medical endoscopic surgery, the minute tremors of organs and tissues can be presented in real time.
4K HDMI interface board: Supports 4K@30fps ultra-high-definition output. Although it can meet the requirements of static scenes or low-speed movements, it is prone to picture tearing when capturing fast dynamics. For instance, when tracking fast-moving vehicles in security monitoring, a delay of 30 frames may lead to a decline in the license plate recognition rate. In live sports events, the rapid movements of athletes may present a “jelly effect”.
Ii. Function Upgrade: From “High-Speed Transmission” to “Intelligent Control”
4KP60 HDMI interface Board
Plug and play + deep compatibility: Directly connect to the SONY 4K ultra-high-definition camera module via the LVDS interface, automatically recognize 4K HDMI video signals, no complex debugging required; Compatible with the VISCA protocol, it can control advanced functions such as zoom, gain, and white balance.
Multi-protocol control: Standard equipped with RS485 control interface and OSD menu, enabling operations such as zooming and focusing.
Intelligent preset position and cruise: Supports power-off memory function, preset position setting, and automatic cruise mode to reduce manual intervention (optional).
Optional RS232/TTL232 is available, making it suitable for complex scenarios such as industrial control and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image transmission.
Case comparison
Unmanned aerial vehicle inspection: 4KP60 HDMI Interface board can transmit the inspection images of power lines to the ground station in real time. Through the preset position function, it can automatically switch the shooting Angle, greatly improving the efficiency.
Video conference 4KP60 HDMI Interface board supports smooth 4K60 frames per second, ensuring the natural presentation of gestures and expressions during remote collaboration. However, if a 4K HDMI encoding control board is chosen, even when paired with SONY 4KP60 ultra-high-definition movement module FCB-ER9500, the maximum output can only reach 4K30 frames per second, and there is a risk of lag and trailing.
Iii. Industry Adaptation: Precise matching of segmented demands
4K P60 HDMI interface board
In the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), when combined with SONY FCB-ER9500, it becomes a “golden partner” for aerial photography, mapping, and inspection. At the 2025 Shenzhen International Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Exhibition, Xuanzhan Technology’s 4K 60fps video solution won high attention and praise from industry experts and visitors.
Medical imaging: Paired with FCB-EW9500H, it supports real-time live streaming of 4K endoscopes, facilitating remote surgical teaching and AI-assisted diagnosis.
Intelligent transportation: In the high-speed checkpoint system, 60 frames per second can accurately capture the license plates of speeding vehicles and the facial features of drivers.
4K HDMI interface board
Security monitoring: Suitable for low-speed movement scenarios such as shopping malls and office buildings, with lower costs and more flexible deployment.
Basic video conferencing: It meets the daily communication needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, but it should avoid rapid scene switching.
Iv. Xuanzhan Technology: Provider of high-definition video secondary development solutions
As an officially authorized distributor of SONY (China), Xuanzhan Technology has been deeply engaged in the secondary development of high-definition and 4K ultra-high-definition videos for 16 years. Its products are renowned for their “high compatibility, low latency, and strong stability”. The 4KP60 HDMI interface board, launched in 2025, connects the clarity and smoothness of the SONY FCB-ER9500 directly to every professional scene with a single HDMI cable.
