2. General
This color camera is provided with a 1/3-inch DPS CMOS sensor. The
CCTV camera features wide dynamic range, high sensitivity and high
resolution, and is equipped with the color/black-and-white switching, back-
light compensation, automatic iris control, line lock and other functions.
The unit is best suited for general surveillance.

E-2
3. Features
(1) Hyper Wide Light Dynamic Range (Hyper WDR)
The WDR function provides for very effective compensation of high
light and darkareas in screen. This situation may occur generally
outside or viewing from indoor to outdoor scenes. Even in large light
fluctuations, bright-and-dark subjects can be captured and viewed
clearly with a natural appearance.
(2) Small-size cube shape
The small-size cube shape of the camera allows it to be most suitable
to be installed into various devices such as ATM units.
(3) High-quality picture and high resolution
The camera is designed for smear-free imaging and low noise. The
well-designed DSP, Digital Signal Processor, effectively enhances
details, which achieves crisp and sharp images with a high signal-to-
noise ratio. The high resolution of a horizontal resolution of 520 TV
lines (690HTVL-Effective) is assured.
(4) Automatic white balance
Thanks to the automatic follow-up white balance control (ATW), the
white balance adjusts itself no matter how great the subject's color
temperature fluctuates.
(5) Automatic Sensitivity Control
In conjunction with the wide dynamic control by the multi-sampling
system, the camera incorporates the automatic sensitivity control
function that always provides adequate and bright images even
through its fixed-iris lens.
(6) Scene File
In addition to normal setting (NORMAL), there are four patterns for
scene files (setting files) that are preset beforehand to a particular
scene. By selecting those patterns, it is easy to carry out image
setting suited to the scene without having to carry out specialized
image adjustment.
(7) FOCUS EZ function
The level indicator is displayed to allow immediate judgment of focal
point. In addition, the focus of the auto-iris lens is released to allow
easy focusing without worrying about the depth of field even in a
bright environment during the daytime.
