Sony FCB camera block
In fields such as intelligent security, industrial inspection, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial photography, how to capture stable and high-definition images in high dynamic range and low light conditions has always been an urgent problem to be solved. Xuanzhan Technology, the official authorized distributor of SONY (China), recommends the FCB-EV9500M MIPI interface high-sensitivity camera module, bringing a brand-new solution to these industries.
Ⅰ. Camera modules specifically designed for high-end applications
The SONY FCB-EV9500M is a revolutionary all-in-one camera module. It integrates a 1/1.8-inch STARVIS CMOS sensor with approximately 4.17 million effective pixels, supporting 1080P full HD image quality and 30x enhanced optical zoom. However, through ingenious design, its weight is controlled at 439 grams (the reduced version is as light as 310 grams). The dimensions are only 56.0 x 64.0 x 125 millimeters. Unlike traditional camera modules, the FCB-EV9500M adopts the advanced MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) interface, which is optimized for industrial applications with high requirements for image quality, real-time performance and stability.
Ⅱ. the perfect integration of speed, sensitivity and stability
High-speed and low-latency transmission of MIPI interface
The MIPI interface supports high-speed data transmission, with a maximum rate of approximately 2Gbps. It adopts a low-voltage differential signal serial transmission mode, which not only has low power consumption but also strong anti-interference ability, ensuring that high-definition images are transmitted to the monitoring center or processing terminal without delay or loss. This feature enables the FCB-EV9500M to perform exceptionally well in application scenarios that require real-time response, such as capturing fast-moving targets in security monitoring or real-time detection of products on high-speed production lines in industrial inspection.
2. Starlight-level low-light performance
The FCB-EV9500M performs outstandingly in low-light environments. It can achieve a minimum illuminance of 0.00008lx in the ICR-ON mode and output clear images even in nearly dark conditions. This feature is attributed to the STARVIS CMOS sensor it adopts, combined with a large-aperture lens ranging from F1.6 to F4.8, which significantly increases the amount of light entering. Coupled with automatic gain control and 2D/3D noise reduction functions, it effectively enhances the clarity of the image and reduces image noise in low-light environments.
3. Powerful optical zoom and image stabilization capabilities
The FCB-EV9500M is equipped with a 30x enhanced optical zoom lens, with a focal length range from 6.5mm (wide-angle end) to 162.5mm (far end).
Its super image stabilization function can significantly reduce the image shaking caused by low-frequency vibration, making it particularly suitable for outdoor security monitoring and traffic surveillance scenarios. The StableZoom™ function can better combine optical zoom and digital zoom during the zooming process to eliminate shake and ensure the stability of the image.
Ⅲ. four major application scenarios demonstrate outstanding performance
1. Security monitoring: Details determine success or failure
In the field of security monitoring, the high-definition picture quality and high-magnification zoom of the FCB-EV9500M enable it to capture minute details and even recognize key information such as distant faces or license plates. Its wide dynamic range function effectively corrects the brightness of both dark and bright areas, enabling the capture of clear images even in environments with strong contrast between light and dark.
The super image stabilization function ensures that stable and clear images are captured in vibrating or unstable environments, enhancing the reliability and practicality of surveillance images.
2. Intelligent transportation: All-weather protection and escort
In the field of intelligent transportation, the 30x optical zoom lens of the FCB-EV9500M covers a wide range of viewing angles from wide-angle to telephoto, making it suitable for long-distance monitoring scenarios such as traffic intersections and highways.
High sensitivity and super starlight night vision function ensure clear imaging even in night or low-light conditions, enhancing the coverage of traffic monitoring. The image stabilization function can counteract the influence of external factors such as vehicle vibration and wind, ensuring the stability of the captured image.
3. Drone Applications: A Balance between Lightweight and High Performance
In response to the “lightweight” demand for drones, Xuanzhan Technology has launched a reduced version of the FCB-EV9500M, with its weight reduced from 439 grams to 310 grams, meeting the mounting requirements of most drones.
By pairing with the VRS-UD350 LVDS/MIPI to IP network interface board independently developed by Xuanzhan Technology, a provider of high-definition video secondary development solutions, camera video can be converted into network video signals, enabling long-distance digital transmission for unmanned aerial vehicles.
4. Industrial inspection: Precisely capture every detail
In the field of industrial inspection, the high-definition image quality and optical zoom capability of the FCB-EV9500M can meet the requirements of high-precision inspection. Connect the network control board through the MIPI interface to achieve remote monitoring and management, and improve production efficiency.
It supports point focus, point exposure and point white balance functions, allowing users to precisely set the reference points for auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance in specific areas within the frame, ensuring that the target area always maintains the best image effect.
Future Outlook: Technology drives industry innovation
The SONY FCB-EV9500M is not merely a camera product; it is also an important tool for promoting the digital transformation of industries. Its lightweight, high sensitivity and open ecosystem features are helping industries such as security, transportation, unmanned aerial vehicles and industrial inspection to achieve high-definition image capture and transmission.
