Sony SSCE478 Day/Night Camera

   
   Day/Night function

   SSC-E478 Series features a "Day/Night" capability, which provides optimized    sensitivity in both day and night shooting applications. Under low light    condition, SSC-E478 series automatically switches the infrared cut filter to    a clear dummy filter and changes to B/W mode. This results in minimum    illumination of 0.05 lx which is a drastic improvement from 0.55 lx in  colour    mode. The refractive index of the dummy filter is adjusted to visible    spectrum, considering that there is some visible light even under dark    circumstances in the majority of cases. Therefore, if only infrared    illuminator is available as light source, the object will become out of    focus with standard lens. There are some near-infrared compatible lenses    available from several manufacturers including Cosmicar to avoid it.
   
   State-of-the-Art SuperExwave TM Technology

   SSC-E478 Series incorporates a newly developed 1/3-type CCD with    SuperExwaveTM 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 cameras to capture clear and    detailed images even under low light conditions. What's more, these cameras    reproduce images with a high picture quality of 380,000 pixels (SSC-E473) /    440,000 pixels (SSC-E473P/E478P) and have an excellent S/N ratio of more    than 50 dB.

   
   Newly developed innovative DSP Technology

   Unlike conventional DSP's, the newly developed DSP technology employed in    these cameras increases the horizontal resolution attainable by the CCD.    Thanks to a combination of this DSP technology and the SuperExwave CCD    technology, these cameras offer a high-horizontal resolution of 540 TV    lines, providing amazingly clear and detailed images.

   
   Slim and stylish design

   These slim and lightweight colour cameras 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 come as  standard on these cameras, so the camera will not detract from the natural decor  of the room in which they are 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-E470 Series 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 colour image is  always obtained.


Turbo AGC


The SSC-E470 series cameras are 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 these cameras 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) / 1/50 (PAL) to 1/100,000 second.


DC-Servo Lens Connection Capability


The SSC-E470 series cameras supports the widely available DC servo lenses.


CS-Mount


These cameras are equipped with a CS-mount, which provides compatibility with  industry-standard CS-mount lenses.


Sync System


The sync system of these cameras 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.
