Panasonic Micro Cameras: More than just a point of view
Micro cameras are now capable of achieving what only complex specialised solutions
hitherto could do: extremely high resolution, the purest colour reproduction and impressive
accuracy. Panasonic's micro cameras guarantee maximum performance for the most diverse
applications - and are also available as OEM components.
Dynamically digital
Panasonic’s micro cameras feature broadband and
low-noise signal processing. The latest generation digital
signal processors allow for flexible signal processing, for
example, the brightness can be adjusted quickly and
uniformly even in rapidly changing light conditions.
Our micro cameras boast a number of other practical,
specialist functions:
• Freeze-frame
• 2.5x continuous electronic zoom
• Frequency-independent 2D edge enhancement
• 2D low-pass filter to control disruptive moiré effects
• Parallel definition of two or more user settings
• 5 digital special filters, e.g. for red enhancement
Progressive Scan:
Giving quality a boost
Conventional, linear image scanning (interlace) is
suitable for capturing static images or for shots with
increased light sensitivity. By contrast,
scanning
the entire image, which is ideal for capturing moving
objects. And the pictures are much sharper compared
to those captured by interlace scanning.

Small in size – big on performance
To make our camera systems as small and compact as
possible, we have separated the camera head from the
signal processing unit. Which means that the camera can
be used even when space is at a premium. And despite
the small scale, the control unit is as powerful as ever.

Compact solutions with built-in versatility
1CCD and 3CCD camera systems
A CCD component converts light signals into electric
signals. With the 1CCD camera system, a colour filter
separates the light into complementary colours which
are all captured by just one CCD. In cameras that use
the 3CCD approach, a prism splits the light into the
three primary colours, namely red, green and blue. The
individual colour information is sent to separate CCDs.
Consequently, the brilliance of the colours, accuracy of
detail and depth of focus are increased.
Heat-resistant components
In medical applications or specialist industrial solutions,
micro cameras need to be extremely heat-resistant.
Which is why selected components in our micro cameras
can withstand temperatures of up to 125° C and can be
integrated into autoclavable camera systems.
Well connected
Depending on the model, the control units on the
Panasonic micro cameras are equipped with SDI,
analogue RGB/component, S-Video and FBAS video
outputs for flexible connectivity.
Easy to operate
We have developed a system of user-friendly on-screen
menus to ensure easy and effective use of our micro
cameras. This means you can change parameters
quickly and clearly during operation. It is also extremely
easy to save individual settings as presets for different
users. The on-screen menu of OEM components can be
adapted to customer requirements.

A powerful individual unit or a
perfect integrated solution
The camera system components are designed to work in
perfect harmony, and yet can also be combined with
other products.
• Lenses: Panasonic special lenses or high-grade
TV lenses from third-party manufacturers
• Heads: available in 1CCD and 3CCD versions and
different sizes
• Cable: available in different lengths
• Control unit: varying functional range for 1CCD or
3CCD versions, with casing or circuit board

Natural brilliant colour
Optimised, true colour reproduction is a given – and
our micro cameras’ 6 or 12-axis colour matrix allows
individual colour ranges to be separately adjusted. This
means that reds can be enhanced - as is common, for
example, in medical applications or biological research.

Impressive performance
Panasonic’s 3CCD HD micro camera systems feature
three 1/3" 16:9 progressive HD sensors. With 60
images per second,
you can work with
both a horizontal
resolution of 1080
lines (interlaced scanning) and 720 lines
(progressive scanning).
Quality starts with the head
With Panasonic’s HD micro cameras, the video signal is
digitised in the camera head. Signal transmission bandwidth is 3 x 14 bit and signal processing in the control
unit is virtually loss-free at a bandwidth of 3 x 19 bit.
It doesn’t get any sharper
Genuine 16:9 multi-format HD
quality from a micro camera –
Panasonic has met the demands of
countless users. For outstanding
sharpness, extraordinarily true
colours and flicker-free images.
Greater clarity and a brighter
picture even in the dark
The simple fact is that with HD technology, you see more.
Images can be reproduced in fine detail over the entire
frequency spectrum by sharpening low-frequency parts
of an image. And the high light sensitivity of an HD
camera ensures clearer images even in light and dark
areas. Such features are particularly important, for
example, in endoscopic applications.
Colours on demand
Panasonic’s 3CCD HD micro cameras feature a 12-axis
colour matrix that allows for separate adjustment of
individual colour ranges. The colour accentuation that
this permits, without influencing other colours, ensures
a particularly high level of flexibility in scientific
applications or industrial solutions.

Digital interfaces
To prevent high-resolution images from suffering any
loss of data and therefore any reduction in quality when
they leave the control unit, our systems are equipped with
digital HD-SDI interfaces. They therefore allow video
signals to be transmitted over long distances.
