Cables and miscellaneous

The suffix number on a cable part number indicates the length in meters: e.g. a CCZ-A2 is 2 meters long. (Approximate equivalents in feet: 2 m = 6 ft, 5 m = 16 ft, 10 m = 33 ft, 25 m = 82 ft, 50 m = 164 ft, 100 m = 328 ft)

Measuring Horizontal Resolution

The number of effective pixels of this camera in horizontal direction is 980. However, when horizontal resolution measurement is executed using a 4:3 resolution chart, the results show a horizontal resolution of approximately 700 TV lines for both 16:9 mode and 4:3 mode as described below.

Horizontal resolution in 16:9 mode

When the horizontal image frame of this camera is aligned with the width of the 4:3 resolution chart, the resolution is about 935 TV lines (see Figure A). However, to measure the resolution of a video camera precisely, the vertical image frame must be aligned with the height of the chart. When this is done, the resolution is approximately 700 (935 × 3/4) TV lines (see Figure B).

Horizontal resolution in 4:3 mode

In 4:3 mode, frame memory is used to extract the 4:3 area from the 16:9 video signals produced by the WS CCD, and the 4:3 signals are electronically enlarged. As a result, the horizontal resolution is approximately 700 TV lines, the same as for 16:9 mode (see Figure C).
