4551 Sony Europe’s 5853 Image Sensing Solutions division has announced a new flagship module to further advance its range of digital OEM video cameras. The new module combines the company’s renowned, ultra-sensitive Exmor CMOS sensor with a 30x optical zoom to deliver exceptional picture clarity for transport, security and low vision applications.

The FCB-EH6500’s 1/2.8-type colour sensor delivers true HD (1080p) video at 30fps. Compared to the previous flagship device, the FCB-EH6300, the camera also extends the viewing angle by over 7 per cent (59.5o at 1080p, 40.6o at 720p), increases the focal range by 50 per cent (f=4.3 to 129mm) yet maintains a minimum required illumination of just 0.5lx.
