(Expected Release December 2008)

Sony continues to add choice and flexibility to its FCB Series with the introduction of the FCB-EX20D and the FCB-EX20DP cameras. The FCB-EX20D/20DP camera incorporates a newly designed 1/3-type Super HAD CCD II sensor that provides increased sensitivity compared to cameras featuring the successful 1/4" Super HAD CCD. These cameras can operate under a minimum illumination of 0.25 lx. When combining Sony's advanced Digital Signal Processing technology with this new CCD, the FCB-EX20D achieves a horizontal resolution of 530 TV lines, providing extremely clear and detailed images. Featuring a "Day/Night" function, these cameras offer optimized sensitivity in changing light conditions, which is a typical challenge for 24/7/365 surveillance monitoring applications. In addition, the cameras provide an extremely wide horizontal angle of view (5.4° to 50) with 120x zooming capability for exceptionally close inspection to capture detailed information. Moreover, to further improve the cameras' performance, the FCB-EX20DI20DP offers a number of sophisticated functions such as advanced spherical privacy zone masking with mosaic effect, video motion detection, a multi-line on-screen display, and slow AE function. •1/3 type Super HAD CCD II • Day/Night Function • Minimum Illumination - 0.25 lx • 120x optical zoom (10x zoom/12x digital) • Various customizable settings • Electronic Shutter/Slow Shutter (1 to 10,000 s, 22 steps • Small and Lightweight • Advanced Spherical Privacy Zone Masking With Mosaic Effect • High-speed serial communication (max. 38.4 kbps) and TTL    signal.level control (VlSCA protocol) • SMART Lens Control • High Performance Digital Signal Processor (DSP) • Internal/External sync. • Spot AE Response function • Video Motion Detection • Electronic-Flip (e:Flip) • 16 Bytes of Memory for storing data
