0.3 Lux Highly Sensitive
Super LoLux Colour CCTV
Cameras for Excellent
Performance Under Various
Bright and Dark Conditions

JVC's TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG
colour CCTV cameras perform
excellently even in near-dark or bright
ambient light conditions, both indoors
and out. Unlike other CCTV cameras,
the TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG
feature a new high-sensitivity CCD,
digital signal processor with multi­functions, motion detector, and Super
LoLux to ensure quality image capture
even under the most demanding
conditions and in the most difficult
locations.

 Totally New Interline Transfer (IT) CCD

JVC’s TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG
cameras come loaded with a totally new
1/2-inch IT CCD, which delivers clear
pictures without image lag or geometric
distortion. And, with a signal-to-noise ratio
of more than 50dB, the TK-C1480BE and
TK-C1481BEG produce crisp images with
a low level of smear and accurate colour
reproduction. High-sensitivity is also
excellent so that no detail is missed even
under low light conditions (0.3 lux at F1.2.)

 New Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

A powerful Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
with Extended Dynamic Range (400x Max.
at Auto, 400x Max. at Manual) lets users
shoot in dark and bright locations.

 Super LoLux

JVC’s exclusive Super LoLux enables the
camera to shoot high-quality images in
light as low as 0.3 lux with minimal noise.
This is the lowest level ever of darkness
where the TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG
can see far better than the naked eye.

At 32x slow shutter minimum illumination is
even as low as 0.005 lux.

 Extended Dynamic Range

A bright portion in the shooting area is shot
with the high-speed shutter exposure, while
a dark portion shot with the normal
exposure. Both of the images read in are
then synthesised to output a single image
that includes distinguishable bright and dark
portions. Therefore, the cameras are
compatible with a wide range of scenes
such as the entrance of a building where a
difference in illumination tends to be
encountered due to the varying effects of
the external light on the entrance, and a
place where a subject can be backlit due to
the direction of lighting, etc. (See the
example on the next page.)

 RS-422A/RS-485 Terminals

RS-422A/RS-485 terminals offer multi­system remote control compatibility. Ideal
for remote control is also the JVC
RM-P2580E remote control unit.

 Full Genlock

INT/EXT (Full genlock)/LINE LOCK opens
up a wide array of shooting options with
connectors for BB or VBS (BNC) sync
input.

 White Balance

To ensure optimum white balance under a
wide range of colour temperatures, the
TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG come
with two white balance modes — ATW
(Auto Traced White Balance) and AWC
(Manual Paint Possible with AWC). So the
operator can select the ideal white
balance for the shooting conditions.

 Camera ID

The TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG
have a built-in camera ID system for
configuring a multi-camera surveillance

system.

 Wide-Range Automatic Electronic Shutter

A wide-range Automatic Electronic
Shutter (AES) continuously adjusts speed
to ensure correct exposure under any

+

lighting conditions (1/50 — 1/100,000
second).

 Y/C Output Connectors

The TK-C1480BE and TK-C1481BEG are
equipped with connectors for BB or VBS
(BNC) sync input, VBS (BNC) output and
Y/C (S-terminal, 4-pin) output.

 Easy Menu-Driven Parameter Setting

A simple menu-driven operation sets a
range of parameters including IRIS level,
ENHANCE level, PED level, ATW/AWC,
H. PHASE/SC. PHASE, AGC ON/OFF,
AGC level, colour level, H.L.C. and L.L.
PHASE.

 Backlight Compensation

With a strong light in the back, this
function improves the image. 4 types of
fixed and 2 types of editable, metered
areas are available.

 H.L.I. (High light Inverter)

The new high light inverter function
ensures superb oberall image quality
when part of a subject is under especially
strong illumination. H.L.I MODE is the
function which the highlighted part of the
