The

foliowing

are

some

of

their

features.

High

sensitivity

These

cameras

give

a

clear

picture

even

under

very

gloomy

conditions.

CCD

IRIS

function

Even

when

a

manual

iris

lens

is

fitted,

the

sensitivity

is

automatically

adjusted

according

to

the

incident

light

evel.

This

keeps

the

video

signal

at

a

suitable

level.

Electronic

shutter

function

Eight

shutter

speeds

are

available,

for

various

shooting

conditions.

Lockable

to

AC

power

frequency

The

vertical

drive

frequency

of

the

camera

can

be

locked

to

the

AC

power

frequency

(60

Hz).

Auto-iris

lenses

A

C-mount

auto-iris

lens

can

be

used,

by

connecting

the

lens

cable

with

the

plug

supplied.

High

resolution

(for

SSC-C374/M374

only)

The

number

of

CCD

picture

elements

(about

380,000)

is

sufficient

to

ensure

high

resolution.

Automatic

adjustment

of

white

balance

(for

SSC-C354/C374

only)

The

automatic

adjustment

mode

stores

the

adjusted

value;

alternatively

the

automatic

tracing

mode

responds

to

the

lighting

conditions

to

adjust

the

white

balance

automatically.

Thus

a

picture

with

an

appropriate

color

balance

is

always

obtained.

Power

supply

This

camera

must

always

be

operated

with

a

24

V

AC

Class

transformer,

be

sure

to

connect

each

lead

to

the

appropriate

terminal.

Wrong

connection

may

cause

malfunction

and/or

damage

to

the

video
