Sony’s Image Sensing Solutions division has announced the launch of its second high definition FCB camera module. The new FCB-H11 builds on the success of 2007’s FCB-H10, bringing several new features to the renowned performance. This includes an ability to work in low light conditions through the addition of an auto ICR, which enables a day/night function and operation at an industry leading 1lx for true high definition resolution.

This new functionality will give Sony access to a broader application base. In addition to videoconferencing and broadcast applications, the new camera block is ideally suited to potentially low light situations that require high resolution images, in particular, intelligent CCTV/security, and environments that require high-quality remote monitoring such as surgery lamps, crane control, remote vehicle and motor sport.
