Key Features

•

1/3 type CCD pick-up element with 768 (H) x 494 (V) (NTSC) / 752 (H)
x 582 (V) (PAL) pixels

• Newly-developed Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

• High resolution: 540 TV lines

• High sensitivity with Day/Night function: 0.6 lx (Color), 0.04 lx (B/W)
at F1.2.

IR cut filter switches on/off to enhance the sensitivity in B/W mode.

• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 50 dB (equivalent to AGC Off, Weight On)

• ABS (Adaptive Black Stretch) enhances visibility of dark area
without degrading image quality in bright area.

• Various adjustment features including BLC (Back Light
Compensation), ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) and ALC
(Automatic Light Control)

• 2 White Balance modes are selectable with Dip Switch: ATW (Auto
Tracking White Balance) / AWC (Automatic White Balance Control)

•

Internal / Line-lock / Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2) synchronization

• CS-mount lenses. DC-servo ALC lenses.

Newly-developed DSP utilizes the
Adaptive Black Stretch technology

The DSP to automatically detect dark areas inside an image,
applying the most suitable correction curve based on
brightness data of areas surrounding the dark area.
This image processing algorithm transforms shadows and
dark areas into natural and crisp images in real time.
