Although primarily designed largely for indoor applications or for environments where adequate lighting is provided, when combined with the Interlaced Scan sensor, the FCB-EX48E/P can operate at a minimum illumination of 0.4 lx (F1.4 measured at 50IRE). The picture quality at low light is further enhanced via the combined 2D/3D superior Enhanced Noise Reduction capability – which provides 5 levels of adjustment in order to select the most desirable image in low light. Such low light performance benefits allow additional flexibility when considering the FCB-EX48E/P camera for applications where budgets are restrictive.

The FCB-EX48E/P incorporates a number of upgrades and new features compared with the extremely successful FCB-C and FCB-D series modules in order once again drive the standard for industrial camera block technology.

The FCB-EX48E/P is available in both PAL (FCB-EX48EP) and NTSC (FCB-EX48E) and adopts a number of new features designed for the digital age, including a digital output option, supporting the future demands of digital video infrastructure.

In order to meet a wider range of applications, the FCB-EX48E/P also comes equipped with evermore sophisticated additional specifications and features, including a wider operating temperature range, temperature readout, Colour Enhancement and Slow AE Response (beyond 10 minutes) as well as other features inherited from earlier FCB EX series cameras. These and other features whilst making the FCB-EX48E/P the ideal choice for indoor video surveillance applications, also enable the camera to be perfectly suited to other applications, such as low vision systems and inspection.
