Sony SSCDC14P Colour Security Camera 24V

Sony advanced digital technology delivers greater reliability, integrity and versatility in CCTV operation

Sony introduces the SSC-DC14P, 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 ^TM feature, these cameras offer a host of outstanding features such as ATW pro,Turbo AGC ^TM and Aperture Control, making them ideal choices for demanding CCTV applications.

Sony Hyper HAD CCD technology delivers outstanding picture quality with 440,000 effective elements. In addition, newly developed Turbo AGC (Auto Gain Control) drastically improves sensitivity

The SSC-DC14P cameras incorporate a densely packed 1/3-inch IT (Interline Transfer) Hyper HAD^TM (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD sensor. With 440,000 effective picture elements, the SSC- DC14P 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-DC14P cameras produce pictures with sufficient contrast and excellent colour fidelity. Also, HAD sensor^TM technology ensures an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 50dB.

ADVANCED TURBO AGC, A NEW DEVELOPMENT BY SONY

The SSC-DC14P 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.

Sony digitally-controlled Smart Control delivers clear, sharp images even in unfavourable light conditions by automatically controlling "Iris, Gain and White Balance" simultaneously

FULL AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION (BLC)

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-DC14P 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-DC14P 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-DC14P cameras without any adjustment of light level - another compelling reason for choosing these cameras for various surveillance and security applications.

ACCURATE COLOUR REPRODUCTION WITH ADVANCED ATW PRO

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 allows the operator to see objects as they appear during daylight. The colour temperature compensation range extends down to 2000K and up to 10,000K. This feature ensures faithful and reliable colour reproduction in the most varied picture circumstances. For example, this mode is suitable for a picture of a parking area lit by high pressure sodium lighting.

APERTURE SHARP MODE PROVIDES CRISPER, SHARPER IMAGES

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.

THE CCD IRIS FUNCTION IMPROVES RELIABILITY AND PICTURE MOTION CAPTURE

As the scene illumination level increases, the SSC-DC10P/DC14P/DC18P cameras respond by automatically controlling the exposure time of the photo sensors. 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.

EXTERNAL SYNCHRONIZATION

The SSC-DC14P feature AC Line Lock for external synchronization. The SSC-DC14P operates from 24V AC. 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 have an externally adjustable Vertical Phase (?90?) control, completely accurate synchronization can be attained.
