iShot® Sony FCB-EW9500L w/ Twiga USB 3.2 Neo Kit

The FCB-EW9500L with Twiga USB 3.2 NEO interface board converts the native LVDS video signal from zoom bock cameras to USB3 standard. It features visualization, processing, and image transfer solutions using the USB3 streaming possibilities. The USB3 is enough to power, control, and stream 4K on most devices equipped with a USB3 port, enabling easy implementation of image capture solutions on most devices (single board computers, NVidia platforms, or PC using Windows or Linux OS). It's ideal for various scenes, including environments with harsh conditions; in particular, the new super image stabilizer has greatly improved blur suppression.

Uncompressed video stream

Twiga USB3 Neo provides an uncompressed UVC compliant video stream Enabling the user to use standard applications (i.e., VLC, Amcap, Windows camera) for image capture, recording & viewing. It also allows the development of custom applications and image processing based on DirectShow, GStreamer, or OpenCV.

Add-on connector for extended functions

A board-to-board connector available on the backside of the USB3 module allows for the plug-in of different boards to get more capabilities (i.e., 4K camera compatibility) to implement functions (i.e., Sync information, strobe pulse, external trigger, accelerometer).

High Resolution

Using the sharp lens and 4MP sensor achieves accurate image representation and superior resolution. The superior AF/AE/ AWB functions even in low-light conditions.

30x Optical Zoom

There is no image deterioration with the 30x optical zoom and dramatically reduced chromatic aberration in Full HD output. The lens system achieves images with a sharp resolution during 4MP output.

Color image acquisition when ICR ON

Only black and white images are achieved on conventional models while the IR cut filter is off.

The new ICR ON COLOR function allows the camera to capture images with color even with IR cut filter removed, making it practical for color rendering in darker conditions.

The accuracy of color reproduction ranges depending on the light source and brightness.

Super Image Stabilizer

Enables capturing of stable, exact video with reduced blurring even in harsh environments with significant vibrations. Applies a wide correction area using 4M pixels; this camera series suppresses blurs from vibrations and rotational vibrations compared to conventional models. There are two modes available to select from based on the scale of vibrations.

Available during full HD or HD output
With the “Super” and “Super+ (plus)”* modes

Super

This feature suppresses strong vibrations with a wider correction area than conventional electronic vibration suppressors.

Super+

Employs a wider correction area than “Super,” “Super+” suppresses intense vibrations that the “Super” feature cannot stop.

Potential applications include Shipboard, attachments for ITS surveillance, bridges, drones, vehicles, etc.

Wide Dynamic Range (Wide-D)

The Wide Dynamic Range divides an image into several blocks for correcting blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights by the intensity difference.

Spot Focus · Spot AE · Spot AWB

This feature Enables AF, AE, and AWB only in specified areas within the screen. It also allows for the independent specification of any rectangle of the entire screen divided into 6 x 8.
