Trio of EVI-HD P/T/Z cameras gives Video Conferencing and Distance Learning Greater Realism

Complementing the successful EVI-HD1 (standard definition and 1080i) model, the new additions of the EVI-HD7V and EVI-HD3V form a comprehensive line of cameras ideally suited for videoconferencing settings where exceptional imaging is essential, such as boardrooms, courtrooms and distance learning classrooms.

“The expanded EVI series answers the call for greater realism and, delivering the next best thing to everyone being in the same room,” said Ken LaMarca, vice president of visual imaging and security systems at Sony Electronics. “The full line eases the transition to HD, with the EVI-HD1 providing options for SD and 1080i, the new 720P EVI-HD3V offering an economical upgrade path, and the 1080P flagship EVI-HD7V setting the bar for high-end, full HD.”

The EVI-HD7V (1080/60P) and EVI-HD3V (720/60P) cameras both use a 1/3-inch CMOS image sensor with 2 million pixels. They can be used with a combination of any number of codecs and systems to produce high-resolution images on a low-noise pan/tilt mechanism. These cameras also incorporate a DVI-I output that can be connected as DVI-D or DVI-A to produce Y/Cb/Cr, Y/Pb/Pr, or RGB formats. The DVI-I output is HDMI-compatible with a simple DVI-D to HDMI adapter, as well as VGA (component) compatible with a simple DVI-A to VGA adapter.

The new cameras share many features of their predecessor , including smooth, high-speed pan/tilt operation, six position presets, 16:9 aspect ratio images and a built-in 10x optical zoom/wide angle lens. Camera settings and pan/tilt/zoom functions can be performed remotely at high speed via the RS-232C interface (VISCA™ protocol). They are also engineered for exceptionally quiet operation.

Both new EVI cameras will be available in July, at suggested list prices of $4,728 for the EVI-HD7V and $3,499 for the EVI-HD3V.

Aegis To Exhibit Camera Systems at AUVSI Unmanned North America 2009 Exhibition and Conference in Washington D.C.

Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. is pleased to announce their exhibition participation in this year’s Unmanned Systems North America Conference and Exhibition, sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.

Coined as “the world’s largest unmanned systems conference and exhibition”, it is being held at August 10-13, 2009 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C..

~~~~~~~~~~~

“AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems North America 2009 is the world’s largest event focusing on the international ground, air and maritime unmanned systems marketplace. It will host the largest gathering of government, business, technology and academic leaders in the unmanned systems community. We will have a plenary session featuring senior unmanned systems speakers addressing both defense and civilian markets. Attendees can listen to 136 oral and poster session presentations, and visit over 300 exhibitors on the 230,000 gross square foot (22,000 square meter) Walter E. Washington Convention Center Exhibit Hall. Don’t miss the opportunity to network, meet the newest industry trailblazers and learn about the latest developments in unmanned systems. There is no better investment of your time, money, or resources.”
