Advanced CCD cameras

In 1998, Sony achieved a major advance in camera sensitivity with the introduction of the Sony Exwave HAD technology. This technology is used in the new Sony SPT-M320CE, SPT-M324CE and SPT-M328CE 1/3" CCD black and white Exwave HAD cameras.

These cameras have near-infrared wavelength sensitivity because of the extended spectral response of the Exwave HAD technology. With identical performance specifications, these three new models differ only in their method of powering. The SPT-M320CE operates on 12 V d.c., the SPT-M324CE on 24 V a.c., and the SPT-M328CE on 220-240 V a.c.

The SPT-M320CE also features triple multiplexing operation, with power and video/sync signals carried over a single coaxial cable.

Features

* CCD Iris function: This function allows the use of a manual iris lens instead of a more costly automatic iris lens. As the illumination level of the scene changes, the camera responds by automatically reducing or increasing the exposure time of the photosensors.

* Flexible choice of auto iris lens: These cameras accept both DC servo and video servo auto iris lenses. The auto iris lens 4-pin connector is conveniently located on the side of the camera.

* Backlight compensation function: The backlight compensation (BLC) function helps to overcome this problem by automatically adjusting the picture brightness to allow for changes in lighting conditions.
