State-of-the Art CCD Technology
and Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
technology from Sony – Providing
You With Amazingly Clear and
Detailed Images for Day/Night
Surveillance Applications
FEATURES
Superb Picture Quality
State-of-the-Art SuperExwave™ CCD Technology
The SSC-E473 camera incorporates a newly
developed 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave
technology that achieves extremely high sensitivity
levels and produces high-quality images. This CCD
imager provides a minimum illumination of 0.55 lx at
F1.2, enabling the camera to capture clear and
detailed images even under low light conditions.
Additionally, the camera reproduces images with a
high picture quality of 380,000 pixels (SSC-E473) and
have an excellent S/N ratio of more than 50 dB.
Innovative DSP Technology
Unlike conventional DSPs, the newly developed DSP
technology employed in the camera increases the
horizontal resolution attainable by the CCD. Due to
a combination of this DSP technology and the
SuperExwave CCD technology, the camera offers a
high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines, providing
amazingly clear and detailed images.
The SSC-E473 Color Video Camera is the latest
addition to the Sony surveillance video camera lineup.
Specifically designed for challenging lighting
conditions as well as day/night surveillance
applications, the camera incorporates a newly
developed 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave™
technology allowing the camera to achieve extremely
high sensitivity levels, and utilizing Sony's newly
developed DSP technology allows the camera to
attain high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines.
The newly developed CCD imager offers a minimum
illumination of 0.55 lx and an excellent signal-to-noise
(S/N) ratio of more than 50 dB, allowing the camera to
reproduce amazingly clear and detailed images.
What's more, an automatic Day/Night function
enables the camera to capture high-quality color
images during the day and clear black-and-white
images at night - making it perfect for 24-hour
surveillance.
With excellent picture quality, a stylish new design,
and a wide range of sophisticated features, the
SSC-E473 Color Video Camera is the ideal solution for
day/night surveillance applications in locations such
as transportation facilities, schools, and parking lots.
Day/Night function
The SSC-E473 camera features a "Day/Night"
capability, which provides optimized sensitivity in
both day- and night-shooting applications. As the
scene darkens, an infrared filter is automatically
replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches
to black-and-white mode, allowing for operation at a
minimum illumination of 0.05 lx.
Slim and Stylish Design
This slim and lightweight color camera can easily be
installed in places where space is limited and where
installation was previously difficult for larger cameras.
A stylish rear panel cover and transparent lens cap
comes standard so the camera will not detract from
the natural decor of the room in which it is installed.
Wide Auto Tracing White (ATW)
Range
ATW is a feature that automatically adjusts the
camera's white balance to adapt to changing light
conditions. The SSC-E473 camera provides an
extremely wide ATW range of 2,000 K to 10,000 K,
allowing adjustment-free operation under a variety of
light conditions. Users can choose from two modes:
ATW Pro and ATW. ATW Pro mode is particularly
suited to applications where the operator needs to
see objects as they appear to the eye. This ensures
that a precise color image is always obtained.

Other Convenient Features
The SSC-E473 camera is equipped with an advanced Turbo AGC
function. This allows the user to boost camera gain to 24 dB,
enabling viewers of the image to distinguish the subject more
easily - even if it is shot in low light. The AGC mode is switchable
between OFF and TURBO.
Back-Light Compensation (BLC)
Unwanted backlighting can often cause the subject matter of an
image to be cast into shadow. The BLC function incorporated in
the camera automatically compensates for such conditions and
allows the subject to be more visible.
CCD IRIS
The CCD IRIS function allows the use of a manual iris lens
instead of a more costly automatic iris lens. As the image
brightness increases, the camera adjusts the exposure by
automatically reducing the CCD photo sensor's exposure time
(charge accumulation time). This is achieved by using the CCD
electronics shutter, which has a range of 1/60 (NTSC) to
1/100,000 second.
DC-Servo Lens Connection Capability
The SSC-E473 camera supports the widely available
DC-servo lenses.
CS-Mount
The camera is equipped with a CS-mount, which provides
compatibility with industry-standard CS-mount lenses.
AC 24 V/DC 12 V Operation
The SSC-E473 accepts both AC 24 V and DC 12 V power sources,
and will automatically switch to the appropriate mode upon
receiving power.
Sync System
The sync system of the camera can be switched between internal
lock and AC line lock. When AC line lock is selected, the V-phase
can be adjusted by ± 90°C.
