Overview

Overview

The XC-555/555P is an ultra-small color camera module that utilizes a 1/2- type Charge Coupled Device.

Main Features

Ultra-small size and lightweight

The camera is so small and light that you can install it anywhere: even in locations where conventional video cameras cannot be installed.

High resolution

A built-in Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) sensor, allows high sensitivity, low smear images. You can shoot, even under poor lighting conditions.

High sensitivity

With a CCD offering 380,000 effective pixels, high- resolution images can be obtained.

Four white balance adjustment modes

Using the white balance DIP switches, you can choose from among four white balance modes (3200K/5600K/ ATW/MAN) to choose the best settings for shooting conditions, and the most appropriate color compensation.

Electronic shutter with a wide range of operating speeds

Using the electronic shutter DIP switches, these levels of shutter speed (OFF, 1/1000, and FLICKERLESS) are available to allow you to match the shutter speed to the shooting conditions.

When you set the DIP switches for the CCD IRIS function, the shutter speed is adjusted automatically, based on the amount of light allowed to enter, ensuring the most appropriate level of image signal.
