Infra-Red Sensitivity. Special Design Colour/Day Monochrome/Night for infrared
illumination.
Digital Signal Processing cuts/filters unwanted infrared illumination that
normally influences colour balance to produce high quality colour images when
lighting is adequate, automatically changes to high sensitivity (IR ~ 4.5x
normal) low-noise monochrome operation in low (zero with IR source) light
conditions.
High Sensitivity with MicroLens
on pixels.
"Extra view HAD CCD" technology from SONY reduces, as
far as possible the in-effective areas between the on-chip microlenses formed
over each pixel, and thus further increases the efficiency of utilisation of the
incident light to provide higher sensitivity and improved signal:noise ratio.
1/2" 473 820 element Extra view HAD CCD
Sensor: 0.1 lux at F1.2 Sensitivity, 640 + line Horizontal Resolution.
Updated SS-1M SONY chipset.
Uses updated "SS-1M" SONY chipset technology to ensure
crisp, sharp, natural colour images and optimum light control using a new
algorithm, wide range auto tracing white balance 2 000 ~ 18 000 degrees Kelvin
with the capability to simulate chromatic correction function of the human eye
plus artificial intelligent auto/manual exposure system.
SONY technology is complemented with
manufacturer's proprietary digital camera 16 bit microprocessor and firmware.
Advanced Digital ATW (Auto
Tracing White Balance).
Conventional Automatic White Balance processes colour according
to the average colour of all objects, if a large area of the image is one
colour, colour reproduction will be unbalanced. In order to simulate the human
eye/brain which has a chromatic correction function, the advanced auto tracing
function used in this camera is capable of detecting absolute colour temperature
and trace white in most conditions and reproduce an excellent colour image. The
colour temperature range is 2 000 ~ 18 000 degrees Kelvin.
Versatile Exposure System Shutter
and/or Iris.
Four exposure modes controlled by DSP to change electronic
shutter speed automatically, the range of AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter) can
vary continuously from 1/50 ~ 1/100 000 second and the AI (Automatic Iris) DC
Lens iris is controlled in response to light on CCD to ensure optimum exposure.
The AES and AI modes may be used to reduce blurring of motion under appropriate
lighting conditions. The manual exposure is mainly for industrial imaging
together with manual gain to suit special applications.
Intelligent digital Automatic BLC
(Back Light Compensation).
This intelligent automatic BLC is a newly developed digital light
level control system, it is activated automatically by screen histogram and 225
area window weighting integration to control iris gain and white balance
simultaneously. Optimum results will be attained with a DC Automatic Iris Lens,
it is also effective with other lens types.
Super AGC (Automatic Gain
Control).
The super AGC function more effectively improves the sensitivity
and flexibility compared to conventional AGC. In surveillance applications the
super AGC automatically boosts the video signal gain by 6 dB over the AGC range,
so the subject under low light illumination may be more clearly recognised.
Digital Horizontal and Vertical
Aperture Correction.
This camera employs a digital aperture enhancer, this feature
improves image sharpness and ideal for situations where the object merges into a
similar colour/shade background, moreover it is also effective for VCR recording
providing crisp sharp images.
