MFR

Introduction

The MFR is a very rugged PTZ camera environmentally sealed to IP68. It offers the choice between
the inclusion of a HD optical or thermal camera head.
The optical camera incorporates a Sony FCB-EV7520 high definition block camera with a 30x optical
zoom lens and a 63.7° wide angle of view. It is capable of outputting up to 1080/60p via a 3G HD-
SDI connection.
The thermal camera is available as a PAL or NTSC composite video output with a spectral range
between 8 to 14um.
There is also the option to have the video output as encoded IP video up to frame rates of
1080/30p. The web interface and configuration of the integrated IP video encoder is explained in
the IP Encoder section of this user guide.
The camera has absolute position feedback and therefore has the ability to self correct its actual
position if external forces act upon it.
It also offers eight user preset settings that can be saved allowing PTZ framing and camera racking
profiles to be easily recalled.
The pan and tilt drive trains are actuated by gearless stepper motors, reducing the operational
noise to a minimum. Pan and tilt speeds are zoom factor corrected, giving fine control over the
entire range of the lens with pan speeds up to 100º per second.
Remote control of the camera and motor drives is via Sony Visca or Pelco D protocols over USB or a
RS232 serial connection.
All power and signals to and from the camera is via a Fischer minimax connector.
The outer casing is manufactured from aluminium. All external mating surfaces are gasket sealed
to maintain its IP68 rating.
