Features
◆1/1.8" Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor
9.17M Pixels (Total)
8.41M Pixels (Active)
◆18x Optical Zoom
High reliability built-in 18x optical zoom lens with auto focus, auto iris and auto D&N zoom
functions.
◆Full HD Resolution
3840x2160p30/25fps
2560x1440p30/25fps
1920x1080p 60/50/30/25fps
1280x720p 60/50/30/25fps
◆DAY & NIGHT (ICR)
The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be
effective in day and night environments.
◆DNR (Digital Noise Reduction, 2D+3D)
The DNR technology eliminates noise thus generating a distinct and clear image. This camera
DNR function utilizes both an adaptive 2D filter reducing noise in the brightness of the image
and an adaptive 3D filter reducing noise caused by movement.
◆Privacy mask Function
The privacy zone function makes it possible to hide specific areas of the scene from view.
◆On Screen Display
This camera supports an OSD function and can be controlled by selecting text displayed on
the monitor screen.
◆Intelligent motion detection
Can transmit an alert signal when it detects motion of an object on the screen.This feature is
useful when you have to monitor several screens simultaneously.
◆Digital Image Stabilizer (DIS)
The Image Stabilizer function reduces image blurring caused by, for example, vibration,which
allows you to obtain images without much blurring.
◆Output
Digital output : HDMI
Analog output : CVBS
◆Control Protocol
This camera supports multiple control protocols: VISCA, PELCO-D, PELCO-P.

Cautions
◆Power Supply
This camera must always be operated at 9V to 15V DC
◆Handling of the unit
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit.
Be cautions not to get combustible or metallic material inside the body.
If used with foreign matter inside, the camera is liable to fail or to get cause of fire or electric
shock.
◆Operating and storage location
Avoid viewing a very bright object (such as light fittings) during an extended period. Avoid
operating or storing the unit in the following locations.
-Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature -10℃~ 50℃, however, we
recommend that the unit be used within a temperature range of 0℃~ 45℃)
-Damp or dusty places
-Places exposed to rain
-Places subject to strong vibration
-Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV
transmitters.
◆Care of the unit
-Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower (commercially available).
-Avoid the use of volatile solvents such as thinners, alcohol, benzene and insecticides.
They may damage the surface finish and/or impair the operation of the camera.

Functions
1. Zoom
⚫Max. zoom ratio
-Optical Zoom : Max x18
-Digital Zoom : Max x32
-Optical + Digital Zoom : Max x576
※DZoom can not be used with the DIS function.
⚫Digital zoom mode
-Combined mode:
After the optical zoom has reached its maximum level, the camera switches to digital
zoom mode when zooming in. And the camera switches to optical zoom mode
again after the digital zoom has reached its minimum level when zooming out.
-Separate mode:
Optical zoom and digital zoom can be operated separately.
2. Focus
⚫Auto focus mode
-Auto Mode
Auto Focus automatically adjusts the focus position to maximize the high frequency
content of the picture in a center measurement area, taking into consideration the
high luminance and strong contrast components. Auto Mode is the normal mode for
AF operation.
-Interval Mode
The mode used for Auto Focus movements carried out at particular intervals. The
interval time and active time for AF movements and for the timing of the stops can
be set.
-Zoom trigger mode (One push mode)
When the zoom is changed with the TELE or the WIDE buttons, the pre-set value
becomes that for AF mode. Then it stops.
⚫Lens Initialize
Initialize the zoom and focus of the lens. Even when power is already on, it initializes the
Zoom and the Focus.

Page 16 of 55
⚫Manual focus mode
Focus position can be adjusted by manual only using Far/Near button or Far/Near
command.
-One push trigger
When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to adjust the focus. The focus
lens then holds that position until the next Trigger Command is received.
-Infinity mode
The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for an unlimited distance.
⚫Near Limit (Focus Distance)
Can be set in minimum range of focus.
3. Auto Exposure
⚫Exposure mode
-Auto mode
Full Auto with Auto Iris and Shutter Speed. User can turn on/off AGC and Digital
Slow Shutter feature.
-Iris priority mode
User can set Iris Level, and shutter speed is set automatically according to the
brightness of the subject. User can turn on/off AGC and Digital Slow Shutter.
-Shutter priority mode
User can set variable shutter speed, and Iris is set automatically according to the
brightness of the subject. User can turn on/off AGC.
-Manual mode
User can set Iris, Shutter speed and Gain. User can also use Digital Slow Shutter by
adjusting the shutter speed.
-Bright mode (Manual)
User can set Iris and Gain.
※Refer to the Exposure Control in Command List for the value range of AGC Gain,
Shutter Speed, Iris and Exposure compensation.
⚫Exposure compensation (Brightness)
Function to offset the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode.
⚫Back light mode
-BLC (Back Light Compensation) mode
The BLC function provides compensation by increasing the brightness of the overall
screen so that subjects being shot with a loss of dark detail due to backlight will
have just the right brightness level.
-HLC (High Light Compensation) mode
When extremely bright light is projected to the camera masking is used on the
portion to prevent partial saturation on the monitor.

⚫Day&Night (ICR) mode
An infrared (IR) cut filter can be disengaged from the image path for increased
sensitivity in low light environment. The ICR will automatically engage depending on
the ambient light, allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments.
-Auto Mode
It automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut
Filter. With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically disabled. With a
level of brightness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled.
-Ext -In Mode
It switches to Day mode when the input from D&N-IN Port is High and switches to
Night mode when it is low.
4. White Balance
⚫White Balance mode
-Auto mode
This mode computes the white balance value output using color information fromthe
entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature.
(2,300K ~ 8,000K)
-One push mode
This is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the
request of the user (One-push Trigger).
-Manual mode
Manual control of R and B gain.
-Indoor mode
3700K base mode.
-Outdoor mode
5100K base mode.
-Auto-Ext mode
This mode operating on a wider range of color temperatures than Auto mode.
(<2,000K (Sodium Light) ~ 10,000K)
5. DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
By using both of 2D DNR (space-based) and 3D DNR (time-based), the amount of low
illuminance noise has been significantly reduced and the signal-to-noise ratio(S/N) as well as
horizontal resolution has been improved, resulting in a clear and sharp image display even in
the dark environment.
※If the DNR Level is set too high and the environment is dark the camera may display a
ghost image.

6. Mirror
This function reverses the video output from the camera upside down or left/right reverse.
7. Sharpness (Aperture)
This function adjusts the enhancement of the edge of objects in the picture.
8. DEFOG
Eliminate amount of fog on display screen. When DEFOG is on, DWDR function cannot be
turned on.
9. Freeze
Captures an image in the field memory of the camera so that this static image can be
continuously displayed.
10. Privacy Mask
⚫Mask can be set on up to 8 places according to Pan/Tilt positions.
※Only 4 masks are displayed on the CVBS and the SDI output.
⚫Individual on/off zone masking settings.
⚫Two groups from among 14 colors in each group transparency can be individually
set for each or 8 privacy zones.
⚫Interlocking control with zooming.
⚫Interlocking control with Pan/Tilt. (Interlock mode)
⚫Parameters in VISCA Command (Privacy related commands in Command List)
