FEATURES
With the state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology, full digital image
processing and special algorithm of 600-line high resolution implemented.
High Sensitivity: It implements images of high sensitivity using the up-to-date
Super-HAD IT CCD(SCC-C4253/C4353)/ExView-HAD PS CCD(SCC-C4255/
C4355).
VPS(Virtual Progressive Scan): This is an advanced technology that reproduces
a sharp progressive image. This is appropriate to high quality recording and file
transfer via the Internet. (SCC-C4255/C4355 only)
High performance surveillance camera, equipped with x43 zoom lens and digital
zoom IC, enabling monitoring up to 688 times
WDR extends the contrast range as it takes a picture of each of dark and bright areas
before compositing the two, which is useful if you take a picture of windows inside
a building. Namely, it improves the picture quality of the outdoor scenery as well as
indoor.(SCC-C4255/C4355 only)
Low Illumination: It uses the digital signal technologies such as low illumination and
Day/Night functions that make your camera identify objects even in the worst envi-
ronment.
XDR (eXtended Dynamic Range): Actively controls the gamma compensation in the
way it operates the ambient luminance contrast in a certain pixel unit to determine
the optimal visibility.
Digital Power Synchronization: The full digital Line Lock function directly adjusts the
vertical camera synchronization to enhance the operationability and reliability of this
camera.(SCC-C4353/C4355 only)
DAY/NIGHT: This function can make the IR Cut filtering function inactive under the illumina-
tion below the normal value.
White Balance to control the brightness to the illumination
Superior Backlight Adjustment:When an object has a bright illumination or sunlight
behind it, this camera automatically improves the shaded object picture quality.
Auto Focus to automatically adjust the focus to the subject movement
Privacy zone to hide a specific area for personal privacy.

IRIS
The IRIS menu is useful if you set to adjust the
intensity of radiation incoming to the camera.
ALC : Adjust the open and close of the iris.
- LEVEL : Select an overall brightness level.
- BLC : With <BACKLIGHT> set to
<BLC>, you can specify the BLC area.
With AREA set to <USER>, you can
specify the position and size.
- WDR : If you set <BACKLIGHT> to
<WDR>, you will see a menu where you
can set the WDR options.
Specify the shutter speed in WDR LEVEL,
and, the composition level in <WEIGHT>.
Select OUTDOOR, or INDOOR in
<WHITE BAL>.
The WDR feature provides an extension of
the gain range, which is useful, especially
if you work on pictures both indoors and
outdoors from inside of a building.
Namely, it improves the sharpness of the picture in outdoor scenery as well as
indoor.
As long as you use the VPS function, the WDR will not be available as the CCD read
method differs accordingly. If you set VPS to ON, WDR will be set to <OFF>
accordingly.
WDR is only available for SCC-C4255 and
SCC-C4355.
MANUAL : Adjust the iris level manually.
The overall brightness target of a camera
will be set to ALC level 0, while the iris
can be adjusted manually.
