Features

This is a dome-shaped color video camera for which the 1/3 type Super HAD CCD® has been adopted. It has the following features:

•Manual setting of the camera direction – panning, tilting and rotating

•Vari-focal auto iris lens as standard equipment. The focal length of the lens is from 2.8 mm to 10 mm.

•High quality CCD and clear dome cover enable high sensitivity.•Backlight compensation through the center measurement (SSC-CD45/ CD45P only).

•Wide dynamic range (128 times wider than normal) using DynaView technology (SSC-CD49/CD49P only)

•Automatic white balance tracking and adjustment (ATW/ATW-PRO)•AC 24 V / DC 12 V power supply system•Line lock function (24 V AC)•Super HAD CCD® is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.•DynaViewTM is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
Notes on Use
Operating or storage location

Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also, avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these can be a cause of a malfunction.

•Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –20 °C to +50 °C [–4 °F to 122 °F])

•Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)

•Close to sources of strong magnetism

•Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters

•Locations subject to vibration or shock•Humid or dusty locations•Locations exposed to rain•Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window•Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)VentilationTo prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials of equal quality.

Cleaning•Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.

•Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.

Typical CCD Phenomena

The following phenomena may appear on the monitor screen while you are using a CCD color video camera. These phenomena stem from the high sensitivity of the CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault within the camera.

Vertical smear

A “smear” may appear to extend vertically from very bright subjects, as shown below.

Video monitor screenPale vertical smear

Very bright subject (such as an electric lamp, fluorescent lamp, sunlight, or strong reflected light)

This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging elements using an interline transfer system, and is caused when electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to the resistors.

Aliasing

When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, the lines may become slightly jagged.

Blemishes

A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual picture elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will show up

as a single pixel blemish in the image. This is generally not a problem.White speckles

When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high temperature, small white dots may appear all over the entire screen image.

When you wire indoors, cut this part with a nipper or similar and feed the cable through it.

Note

Take care not to trap the cable between the camera and ceiling or the wall. If the cable is trapped, it may break and cause a fire or electric shock.
