1. General
The Hitachi KP-F37/F38 are a high performance self-contained black and white CCD camera
suited for a wide variety of general purpose and specialized applications. The charge coupled
device (CCD) imaging element is 1/3-inch size progressive scanning with independent readout
of all picture elements (pixels).
In addition to high resolution and sensitivity, a broad array of functions, including multi-step
electronic shutter, HD/VD external sync, frame on demand and many more contribute to
versatility that meets a wide range of needs.
The square pixel CCD also renders an image appropriate for image processing systems.
KP-F37……70fps, KP-F38……80fps
