Sony Electronics, Inc. VIP (Visual Imaging Products) announced Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. was it's top distributor in sales for fiscal year 2009. Sony conducted a sales meeting in Rancho Bernardo, CA this past Sunday-Tuesday (September 27-29) bringing in distributors and representative throughout the United States for training on new products.
Sony is releasing a new block camera "E" series, new analog, Firewire and GigE cameras. The new analog feature is the XC-505 a replacement to the XC-555. The feature changes are a smaller imager, shorter length, CCD Iris and RS-232 controls. The one feature change that might create the most issues is the removal of the circuitry to add a Video Iris Lens. The XC-555 allowed you to connect a video iris lens and the XC-505 does not. There isn't any DC drive available either and this has left many OEMs with a design replacement issue.
Sony also released preliminary information on a new ultra-compact (29x29x19mm), lightweight (37g) 1394.b camera (Firewire camera), the XCD-MV6. This camera features VGA resolution at 60 fps. The target markets for this camera are automated optical inspection, wire bonding, food processing and bottle inspection.
The new GigE cameras are the XCG-ITS series. These feature 2.8MP and 6MP color and black and white models. This information was all preliminary and more information will be released next year.
