Sony advanced digital technology delivers greater reliability, integrity and versatility

in CCTV operation

Sony introduces the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P - three, 1/3-inch colour DSP CCD high resolution cameras specifically designed for surveillance and monitoring systems.

Sony advanced digital technology ensures these cameras reproduce high fidelity images even under adverse light conditions. In addition to flexible automatic backlight compensation with the Smart Control™ feature, these cameras offer a host of outstanding features such as ATW pro,Turbo AGC™ and Aperture Control, making them ideal choices for demanding CCTV applications.

The triple multiplexing power supply capability of the SSC-DC10P and the AC Line Lock feature on the SSC-DC14P/DC18P make camera installation and synchronization remarkably easy and simple.

The SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras incorporate a densely packed 1/3-inch IT (Interline Transfer) Hyper HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD sensor. With 440,000 effective picture elements, the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P deliver an outstanding 470TV lines of horizontal resolution. This highly advanced Sony Hyper HAD sensor offers remarkably high sensitivity by precisely locating a microlens over each pixel, converging available light onto the photosensitive layer. Even in minimal lighting condition, the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras produce pictures with sufficient contrast and excellent colour fidelity. Also, HAD sensor™ technology ensures an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 50dB.

ADVANCED TURBO AGC, A NEW DEVELOPMENT BY SONY

The SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras are equipped with the new Turbo AGC (Auto Gain Control) function, which improves sensitivity more flexibly and effectively than conventional AGC because Turbo AGC can control video gain in a range that is 6dB wider than the AGC range. Thus a subject under very low illumination can be distinguished more clearly.

ACCURATE COLOUR REPRODUCTION

WITH ADVANCED ATW PRO

Smart Control incorporates a new type of Auto Tracing White Balance mode, ATW pro. This mode is ideal when lighting conditions change

frequently, and is particularly suited to applications where the operator needs to see objects as they appear to the eye. The effective operational colour range is

2500K to 6000K.

		The conventional ATW mode can also be selected. This mode
