Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- This Universal Camera Controller for the SONY FCB series of block cameras and the EVI series of P/T/Z cameras incorporates a flexible, configurable controller designed to work with one or multiple cameras via RS232.

Ruggedized for use in harsh environments and programmable to control a majority of these SONY camera functions, the size and ease of operation of these controllers make them suitable for applications where space and control capability are issues.
