CV-A50 / CV-A60

1. General

The difference from the previous manual is that the CCD sensor in CV-A50 is changed to new types. Now the used CCD sensors are: ICX-408AL-6, 409AL-6, 418ALL-6, 419ALL-6.

The CV-A50/A60 is a range of monochrome CCIR and EIA interlaced 1/2” and 1/3” CCD cameras, designed for automated application, featuring an extremely small housing and a wide range of unique functions.

The asynchronous trigger can be set to work in several modes, to allow functions such as pulse width controlled shutter, programmable shutter speed and long time integration.

All mode settings of the camera can be set up via an RS-232C interface, greatly reducing the need for mechanical switches of jumpers.

The CV-A50 and CV-A60 output an analogue video signal, with composite sync.
