SSC-C370/C370P
SECTION 1
GENERAL
1-1. FEATURES
The SSC-C370/C370P color video cameras use a 1/2-inch CCD (Charge
Coupled Device) with 768 (UC)/752 (EK) (horizontal) by 494 (UC)/582 (EK)
(vertical) picture elements. The following are some of its principal features.
High sensitivity
Gives a clear picture even under very gloomy conditions.
CCD IRIS tunction
Even when a manual iris tens is fitted, the sensitivity is automatically
adjusted according to the incident light level. This keeps the video signal at
a suitable level.
Automatic adjustment of white balance
The automatic adjustment mode stores the adjusted value; alternatively the
automatic tracing mode responds to the lighting conditions to adjust the
white balance automatically. Thus a picture with an appropriate color
balance is always obtained.
Electronic shutter function
Eight shutter speeds are available, for various shooting conditions.
External synchronization
A number of cameras can be synchronized with the same reference
synchronizing signal so that they can be controlled by a video switcher; you
can switch from a camera to another without causing picture distortion on
the monitor screen.
Combined power cable (using YS-W130/W130P/W230/W230P camera
adaptor)
A single 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) connecting the camera to a YS-
W130/W130P/W230/W230P camera adaptor (not supplied) carries the video
output signal, as well as the power supply input and external synchronizing
signal.
Auto-iris lenses
A C-mount auto-iris lens can be used, by connecting the lens cable with the
plug supplied.
