State-of-the Art CCD Technology and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology from Sony – Providing You With Amazingly Clear and Detailed Images for Day/Night Surveillance Applications

The SSC-E473 Color Video Camera is the latest addition to the Sony surveillance video camera lineup. Specifically designed for challenging lighting conditions as well as day/night surveillance applications, the camera incorporates a newly developed 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave™ technology allowing the camera to achieve extremely high sensitivity levels, and utilizing Sony's newly developed DSP technology allows the camera to attain high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines.

The newly developed CCD imager offers a minimum illumination of 0.55 lx and an excellent signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of more than 50 dB, allowing the camera to reproduce amazingly clear and detailed images.

What's more, an automatic Day/Night function enables the camera to capture high-quality color images during the day and clear black-and-white images at night - making it perfect for 24-hour surveillance.

With excellent picture quality, a stylish new design, and a wide range of sophisticated features, the SSC-E473 Color Video Camera is the ideal solution for day/night surveillance applications in locations such as transportation facilities, schools, and parking lots.

FEATURES

Superb Picture Quality

State-of-the-Art SuperExwave™ CCD Technology

The SSC-E473 camera incorporates a newly developed 1/3-type CCD with SuperExwave technology that achieves extremely high sensitivity levels and produces high-quality images. This CCD imager provides a minimum illumination of 0.55 lx at F1.2, enabling the camera to capture clear and detailed images even under low light conditions. Additionally, the camera reproduces images with a high picture quality of 380,000 pixels (SSC-E473) and have an excellent S/N ratio of more than 50 dB.

Innovative DSP Technology

Unlike conventional DSPs, the newly developed DSP technology employed in the camera increases the horizontal resolution attainable by the CCD. Due to a combination of this DSP technology and the SuperExwave CCD technology, the camera offers a high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines, providing amazingly clear and detailed images.

Day/Night function

The SSC-E473 camera features a "Day/Night" capability, which provides optimized sensitivity in both day- and night-shooting applications. As the scene darkens, an infrared filter is automatically replaced with a clear filter and the camera switches to black-and-white mode, allowing for operation at a minimum illumination of 0.05 lx.

Slim and Stylish Design

This slim and lightweight color camera can easily be installed in places where space is limited and where installation was previously difficult for larger cameras. A stylish rear panel cover and transparent lens cap comes standard so the camera will not detract from the natural decor of the room in which it is installed.

Wide Auto Tracing White (ATW) Range

ATW is a feature that automatically adjusts the camera's white balance to adapt to changing light conditions. The SSC-E473 camera provides an extremely wide ATW range of 2,000 K to 10,000 K, allowing adjustment-free operation under a variety of light conditions. Users can choose from two modes: ATW Pro and ATW. ATW Pro mode is particularly suited to applications where the operator needs to see objects as they appear to the eye. This ensures that a precise color image is always obtained.
