Features
1. The camera provides a high performance in low illumination situations, particularly suitable for which
room's lighting is not very well.
2. With maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 and output frame rate up to 60 or 50 frames / sec, this camera
provides high-definition as well as fluent video.
3. The camera video signal to noise ratio directly affects the image compression coding efficiency for
high-definition video conference terminals. With new low-noise CMOS American sensor, the camera applies 2D
and 3D noise reduction at the same time based on motion estimation algorithm, and effectively reduces the noise.
4. The camera applies a unique Iridix dynamic exposure control algorithm, which is based on retina model.
Good exposure makes the picture nature and creates a strong sense of space. The CMOS sensor also support WDR
(Wide Dynamic Range) mode. With Iridix treatment, camera’s WDR is capable of capture all features of images
when there is a strong contrast between subject and background (such as backlight conditions).
5. 18x optical zoom.
6. Three type of video output interface: DVI (HDMI、YPbPr) interface, HD-SDI interface (Optional).
7. Infrared remote control signals pass through function. The camera is capable of receiving signal from the
infrared remote controller, and passes through to the video conferencing terminal via RS232 IN connector.

Serial Communication Control
In default working mode, the camera is able to connect to a VISCA controller with RS232C serial interface.
The parameters of RS232C are as follows:
Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600 bit/s.
Start bit: 1 bit.
Data bit: 8 bits.
Stop bit: 1bit.
Parity bit: none.
Pan-Tilt will rotate to the maximum position of top right after the camera started, then it return to the center,
the process of initialization is finished. (Note: If the position preset 0 has been stored, the position preset 0 will be
called up after initialization) Then the users can control the camera with commands in the command list.
