The FCB-EX985E/P incorporates a 1/4 type Super HAD CCD II Interlaced Scan sensor that offers unparalleled sensitivity and colour reproduction. By combining a powerful DSP with this CCD with a new 28x zoom lens, the camera achieves a high horizontal resolution of 550 TV lines with a minimum illumination of 0.25 lx providing very clear and detailed images under very challenging light conditions.
The camera is equipped with a digital interface (Y/Cb/Cr 4:2:2) which is comparable to ITU-R BT656. The video output is therefore free from signal deterioration. Furthermore no external analogue/digital converter is required between the camera and other equipment, bringing down the overall integration cost.
By combining 2D and 3D noise reduction, the camera offers a wide selection of noise-reduction settings, from Level 1 to Level 5. This lets you choose the best level according to environmental conditions.
In StableZoom™ mode, image stabilization starts naturally without bringing an abrupt change to the horizontal angle of view. With StableZoom™ activated, an equivalent of 33x optical zoom is possible.
With a compact and lightweight design (approx. 238g/8.4 oz), the camera can be integrated into a variety of space-restricted environments. The dimensions of the FCB-EX985E/P are the same as previous 26x FCB models allowing for easy upgrade to existing systems.
The camera’s Auto Exposure speed for adapting to changes in lighting conditions can be set as slow as required, even as slow as 10 minutes. The speed of adaptation can be slowed down in order to suit some conditions. For example, such as an underground car park where without a change in AE response, the camera could miss some important images when car headlights appear in the scene causing an abrupt change in lighting conditions.
