Smaller OEMs and system integrators needing high performance interface solutions for Sony block cameras will benefit from the new agreement between Stemmer Imaging and video interface specialist, Aivion. Aivion provides interface solutions that take the native camera information and transform this into data that can be readily accepted through industry standard interfaces.
The latest series of Sony FCB SD and HD cameras offers more features than previous versions making them appropriate for a wider range of markets and applications. The introduction of progressive scan sensors and digital interfaces means that higher quality images are available to users.
The native FCB camera digital output format is useful for large OEMs as they have the resources and the volume requirements to warrant investment in a dedicated external interface for their ultimate product. However Stemmer Imaging can now provide an interface solution for smaller OEMs and system integrators.
Aivion’s products range from simple breakout boards, through single, dual and optical HDSDI to USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 solutions. While there is a range of standard products on offer there is also the ability to offer customisation to ensure that the ultimate product matches customer needs. Aivion will continue to track the Sony FCB product roadmap closely and will offer interfaces that are suitable for the latest series of cameras, including 1080p/50 models that will require solutions such as 3G HDSDI.
