Sony XC505 User manual

The XC-505 and XC-505P are ultra-compact and
lightweight color video cameras incorporating a high-
sensitivity, high-performance 1/3-type Super HAD II CCD.
Compared to Sony’s popular XC-555 camera, the XC-505
and XC-505P are equipped with several new features
including one-push white balance, noise reduction
(2D/3D), a built-in color bar, DTL function, and RS-232C
support.
These cameras use an NF lens system which can easily
be converted into a flexible C-mount lens. What’s more,
they are easily integrated into space-restricted
environments thanks to their one-piece compact and
robust body.
The combination of first-class picture quality with superb
sensitivity for less-than-ideal lighting conditions makes
these cameras well-suited for a wide range of
applications such as remote monitoring, security, content
creation, machine vision, and sports shooting.
