Sony FCB camera block
In digital operating rooms, remote consultation, surgical demonstration, and minimally invasive visualization have become the core links for improving medical quality and balancing resources. And the foundation of all this is a visual system that can truly reproduce the details of the lesion and stably transmit high-definition video.
The Sony FCB-EV9520L medical camera module, featuring three core technologies – starlight-level low-light performance, 130dB ultra-wide dynamic range, and 30x optical zoom – provides full-scene, high-precision visual support for remote consultations, making it a “standard essential tool” for the digital transformation of the medical industry.
Ⅰ. Starlight-level low-light performance: True color reproduction in dim light
Core pain points:
In scenarios such as night emergency rooms and ICU monitoring, traditional cameras tend to produce noise, color distortion, and even miss crucial vital sign details due to motion blur when the light level drops below 0.1 lux.
FCB-EV9520L Solution:
0.009Lx ultra-low illumination: The FCB-EV9520L is equipped with a 1/2.8-inch STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor, which can output 1080P/60fps color images in near-total darkness without the need for supplementary lighting, clearly presenting subtle changes such as subcutaneous ecchymosis on patients and numbers on monitoring devices.
ICR ON COLOR Technology: Automatically switches the infrared cut-off filter, allowing for the true reproduction of patients’ skin color and wound conditions in night ward monitoring, avoiding the loss of color information in black-and-white infrared night vision.
3D + 2D noise reduction algorithm: Based on spatio-temporal joint filtering technology, the FCB-EV9520L can effectively suppress noise in low-light conditions, ensuring the smoothness and clarity of dynamic scenes (such as patient turning over and instrument operation).
Ⅱ. 130dB Ultra-wide Dynamic Range: Eliminating Blind Spots in Strong Light and Backlight Conditions
Core pain points:
The strong light of the operating room’s shadowless lamp coexists with the shadows on the patient’s body surface. The wide dynamic range of traditional cameras is only 60-100dB, and the vascular texture or skin lesions are easily concealed under strong light.
FCB-EV9520L Solution:
130dB ultra-wide dynamic range: By means of pixel-level exposure control and multi-frame synthesis algorithm, it can simultaneously capture the highlights (such as the reflection of metal instruments) and the details in the dark areas (such as tissue textures), ensuring that the image is neither overexposed nor underexposed.
Regional automatic exposure (AE): Supports independent setting of parameters for lesion areas to avoid interference from background light. For example, in orthopedic arthroscopic surgery, it focuses on the tiny lesions within the joint cavity, and the strong light from the background surgical instruments does not affect the image quality.
III. 30x Optical Zoom: Penetrating from Panoramic Views to Minute Details
Core pain points:
The zooming capacity of traditional cameras is limited, making it difficult to meet the remote observation requirements of tiny lesions such as cancer cells and microvessels.
FCB-EV9520L Solution:
The 30x optical zoom of the FCB-EV9520L: covering a focal length range from 4.3mm to 129mm, it can magnify the image without loss of detail to the tiniest details.
Fast Auto-Focus: The Sony FCB-EV9520L features a fast and precise auto-focus function, ensuring continuous clarity of the image even when observing tissues at high magnification.
Pre-set position function: The Sony FCB-EV9520L can save multiple commonly used perspectives and focal lengths, and can be called with one click, significantly reducing the preparation time for surgery.
IV. Medical-grade Lenses: Seamless Coverage from Operating Rooms to Grassroots Levels
Core Design:
Lightweight and compact design: The Sony FCB-EV9520L measures only 50×60×89.7mm and weighs 239g, allowing seamless integration into equipment such as surgical lights and surgical robots without disrupting the original medical process. Additionally, Xuanzhan Technology, an official authorized dealer of Sony (China), has developed a lighter version of it. After weight reduction, it can weigh as little as 165g, which is very friendly to application scenarios with strict quality requirements.
VISCA protocol compatibility: Through this protocol, the Sony FCB-EV9520L can be seamlessly integrated with mainstream medical video conferencing systems, supporting remote control and parameter adjustment.
Privacy masking function: Up to 8 privacy areas can be set to protect patient privacy and comply with medical data regulations.
V. Customized Solutions: Expanding Adaptation to Application Scenarios
Xuanzhan Technology, an official authorized dealer of Sony (China) and a provider of high-definition video secondary development solutions, has, with 17 years of practical experience, independently developed a variety of interface boards for Sony FCB-EV9520L, including 3G-SDI, HDMI, USB, IP, SDI/HDMI/CVBS three-in-one, and MIPI, which can meet the different application requirements of the medical consultation industry.
Summary
The Sony FCB-EV9520L medical remote consultation camera, with its core technologies such as full high-definition picture quality, low-light imaging, 30x optical zoom, and medical-grade lenses, is driving the development of remote medical care towards greater reliability and efficiency. It not only presents the patient’s vital signs in fine detail but also empowers medical resources to transcend geographical limitations and benefit a wider population through technological means.
