OEM/ODM Camera Interface Board Solutions for Sony FCB Systems
Our custom interface boards deliver end‑to‑end UHD video pipelines from capture to conversion, transmission, and processing. As an authorized Sony (China) distributor for FCB block cameras and a long‑standing board designer, we provide application‑ready designs that speed integration across security, drones, healthcare, conferencing, robotics, industrial inspection, machine vision, and marine projects.
Output Interfaces
- SDI (3G/6G/12G): Choose long‑reach, low‑noise links for field monitoring. 12G options add robust clocking and rugged connectors for reliability.
- HDMI: Direct‑to‑display connectivity in 4K or Full HD. Compact Type‑D layouts suit tight enclosures, evaluation, OR displays, control rooms, and endpoints.
- USB 3.0/Type‑C: Connect to PCs or embedded hosts for capture, vision processing, and conferencing. Resolutions and frame rates are configurable.
- IP Streaming: Ethernet for transport, remote control, and VMS/NVR or cloud integration. Selected models can output IP, HDMI, and USB at the same time.
- MIPI/LVDS Bridging: Low‑latency paths into SoCs/ISPs for robots, drones, and machine vision. MIPI‑to‑HDMI bridge options are available.
- CVBS: Legacy analog output to support phased upgrades while maintaining compatibility with existing recorders and displays.
Designed for Sony FCB Block Cameras
These boards preserve image quality, zoom performance, and responsive control with Sony FCB modules.
- FCB‑ER9500: 1/1.8 STARVIS2 CMOS, 4K60p, 25x optical zoom
- FCB‑ER9100: 4K60p, 10x optical zoom
- FCB‑EV9520L: 1/2.8 STARVIS2, Full HD (1920×1080/1280×720), 30x optical, LVDS
Each pairing is validated for video paths, control, and thermal behavior to ensure stable, consistent output. VISCA control is available over serial or IP with user‑defined presets.
Customization Services (OEM/ODM)
- Hardware: Form factor, connector placement, power input options, and EMC‑aware routing for 4K60p.
- Firmware and Control: Command sets, presets, latency tuning, and protocol bridges for serial/Ethernet control.
- Mechanical/Thermal: Heat spreading (passive/active) for continuous 4K and mounting patterns aligned to FCB and housings.
- Validation: Environmental checks for drones, outdoor, and medical scenarios, plus production tests for long‑run stability.
Applications
- Security/CCTV: Long‑reach SDI/IP links, low‑light support, PTZ control, and VMS integration.
- UAVs and Drones: Lightweight layouts, micro connectors, and stabilized 4K/HD outputs with optimized power and thermals.
- Healthcare Video: Uncompressed 4K HDMI to surgical monitors with profiles tailored to OR workflows.
- Conferencing: USB/Type‑C plus HDMI for plug‑and‑play to hosts and codecs with consistent AF/AE behavior.
- Robotics/Industrial: MIPI/LVDS or SDI/HDMI to edge AI boxes and HMIs with deterministic control.
- Marine (ROV/AUV): Rugged connectors, sealed mechanics, and stable long‑run transmission for subsea links.
Example: VRS‑UD410 4K IP Board
VRS‑UD410 is a 4K60p IP board with HDMI Type‑D, Ethernet, and USB 3.0 outputs. It supports real‑time viewing, streaming, and capture in parallel.

FAQ
- Q: What is a camera interface board?
A: It bridges the camera module to your system, handling video formats, control, power, and connectors.
- Q: How do I integrate a Sony FCB with HDMI, SDI, USB, or IP?
A: Select a board with the required outputs, connect VISCA via serial or network, and apply presets. Reference designs are available to simplify bring‑up.
- Q: Can I run multiple outputs at once?
A: Yes. Selected models support simultaneous HDMI, network, and USB for viewing, streaming, and recording.
