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
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.

One of the biggest problems in security surveillance operations is strong
backlight which can put the subject into shadow. Of course, surveillance is
meaningless if the subject cannot be clearly identified.
Sony Smart Control,a newly developed digital light level control feature,
overcomes this problem by automatically controlling Iris and Gain with
optimum balance, utilizing highly reliable Sony digital signal processing
technology. Smart Control enables the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras
to always obtain a clear image with a suitable light level in any situation and
at any time,regardless of changes in incoming light levels such as day to night.
Compared with conventional analogue signal processing cameras which control
Iris and Gain separately, the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras deal with
these factors more intelligently, ensuring that backlight compensation is
accomplished far more effectively.
Smart Control works flexibly wherever an object appears in the picture
because these cameras sense the entire area of the frame and measure the
average light level. This represents a distinct advance in the measurement of
picture light levels.
Smart Control allows the operator to install the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P
cameras without any adjustment of light level - another compelling reason for
choosing these cameras for various surveillance and security applications.

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

ensures faithful and reliable colour reproduction in the most

suitable for a picture of a parking area lit by high pressure
sodium lighting.

Aperture Sharp Mode makes object outlines sharper in the reproduced picture. This mode is ideal for situations where the
object merges into the scene with a similar colour shade. This feature is also effective when a VCR is connected because
sharp,crisp images can be recorded. SHARP or NORMAL mode can be selected.

PICTURE MOTION CAPTURE
PICTURE MOTION CAPTURE
As the scene illumination level increases,the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras respond by automatically controlling the
exposure time of the photosensors. This is achieved by changing the electronic shutter speed of the CCD,in the range of
1/50 of a second to 1/100,000 of a second. The CCD IRIS function is also digitally controlled by the advanced Sony Smart
Control feature. The control of incoming light by the CCD IRIS function is completely electronic and does not require a
conventional mechanical iris control facility inside the camera. This means that reliability is greatly enhanced. An added
benefit to CCD IRIS function is when the information is achieved onto video tapes. Because of the increased shutter speed,
clear still images can be obtained when the tape is reviewed. This facilitates identification of vehicle numbers,etc.
The SSC-DC10P features optional Triple Multiplexing operation. With only a single coaxial cable , the video and sync
signals can be transmitted together with DC power from the optional YS-W150P/W250P Camera Adaptors. The
camera can be operated up to 600m from these adaptors by using an RG-11A/U (7C-2V) coaxial cable. Since the
SSC-DC10P has a connector for MONITOR OUT function, the picture can be easily checked at the installation point
with a portable monitor. Of course, the SSC-DC10P also operates from a local DC 12V power source using a
commercially available power supply adaptor.
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION
EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION
SSC-DC10P
The SSC-DC10P also accepts VS (Video and Sync) or composite sync signals so that a number of cameras can be
synchronized.Thus when controlled by a video switcher, camera outputs can be switched without any picture
disturbance.
SSC-DC14P/18P
The SSC-DC14P/18P feature AC Line Lock for external synchronization. The SSC-DC14P operates from 24V AC
while the SSC-DC18P operates from a 220 to 240V AC power source . Using the AC power frequency (50Hz) as the
vertical sync reference provides roll-free switching in multi-camera installations.In addition, as the SSC-DC14P/DC18P
have an externally adjustable Vertical Phase (±90°) control,completely accurate synchronization can be attained.
The YS-W150P/W250P Camera Adaptors are designed
to transmit power and video/sync signals between the
YS-W150P/W250P and the camera using a single
coaxial cable.The YS-W150P is for use in a single
camera configuration while the YS-W250P is used in
configurations of up to four cameras.Both units have
two camera outputs for each camera input,allowing
the camera picture to be monitored in two locations.
The YS-W150P/W250P not only accept VS sync signal
but also feature AC line lock for external
synchronization.Cable runs of up to 600m (1968ft)
using RG-11A/U(7C-2V) cable is possible.
