1. Main Features
▶ 1/3” CMOS sensor
2.2M Pixels (Total) / 2.1M Pixels (Active)
▶ Full HD Resolution
1920x1080@30p / 1920x1080@60i / 1280x720@60p / 1920x1080@60p
▶ WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
WDR allows a camera to filter the intense back light surrounding a subject and thus enhances the
ability to distinguish features and shapes on the subject.
▶ DNR (Digital Noise Reduction, 2D/3D-NR)
DNR technology will supply you with outstanding clear images by reducing noise of picture. DNR
technology has excellent disk-saving effect. IMI TECH supports brilliant DNR technologies like DNR,
3D-NR and 2D+3D.
▶ AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
AGC is circuit that automatically adjusts the incoming signal to proper level for display or recording
and the sensitivity of pick-up object to render the most pleasing images. It improves performance
in low light conditions.
▶ 2 Auto (AE/AWB) Control
Slow Shutter control (Sens-Up), Color temperature Range (1800K ~ 10500K).
▶ Dynamic Motion Detection (8 separable areas, Up to 1980-blocks, variable block
size control)
Motion can be detected and displayed in appointed area. It is possible to set up motion detection
zones user wish.
▶ Privacy Zone Masking (8 Polygon windows)
The privacy zone function makes it possible to make specific areas of the scene from view.
▶ Output
3G-SDI / HD-SDI (NTSC / PAL)
