A new color camera block that achieves higher visibility by adopting new lens, image sensor, and ISP by Japanese manufacturer. Experience 30x enhanced optical zoom in a compact size even with the larger 1/1.8 sensor. The camera can be used in a wide variety of scenes, including environments with harsh conditions, in particular the new Super image stabilzer has greatly improved blur suppression compared to converntional models. Select from a lineup of 3 models: 4M model (HDMI output) and ful HD models (MIPl or LVDS output) in the same sized housing.

Three major features

High ResolutionUtilizing a 4M sensor and sharp lens, achieve superior resolution and accurate image representation with the evolved AF/AE/AWB functions even in low light environments. Combined with enhanced optical z0om achieve a high image quality from the Wide end to the Tele end.

High SensitivityThrough introduction of new cell structures and circuit technologY, the series efficiently uses light, achieving twice the sensitivity compared to conventional image sensors. Consequently, clear images can be captured even during the night and in dark environments.

ISuper Image StabilizeEnables capturing of highly precise video with reduced blurring even in harsh environments with strong vibrations by greatly improving blur suppression and image stabilizer. Equipped with the “Super” and “Super+ (plus)* modes. Available during full HD or HD output

Features

New 30x Enhanced Optical Zoom 30x Enhanced Optical Zoom Using a compact lens designed for resolutions up to 8M the camera maximizes the coverage of the 4M sensor. The newly designed lens provides high resolution and low aberration, making it capable of capturing high resolution images that span from the Tele end from the screen center to the surrounding edges. There is no image deterioration using the 30x enhanced optical zoom. Experience full sharpness and dramatically reduced chromatic aberration in full HD output and also achieve images with sharp resolution during 4M output.Compared to the 30x optical zoom, the volume ratio is reduced by 45%*, supportinga more compact housing design. Our simulation ratio

Zoom by combining 8M compatible lens and 4M image sensor
The magnifying effect of the zoom lens and the magnifying effect obtained by narrowing the pixels used while making the best use of the effective pixels of the 4M image sensor are combined to obtain the same effect as the optical zoom.

Equipped with an approximately 417 million- STARVIS effective-pixel, 1/1.8-type high sensitive, AR-coated (anti-reflective coating) CMOS sensor
With a high spectral sensitivity value in near infrared to infrared, it is especially effective for security uses. Furthermore, the AR coating minimizes the ghost phenomenon and enables capturing of images without missing crucial information even during the night and in dark environments.

ISuper Image Stabilizer
Applying a wide correction area using 4M pixels the camera series suppresses blurs from strong vibrations and rotational vibrations compared to conventional models. There are 2 modes available to select from based on the scale of vibrations.

Super
Suppresses strong vibrations with a wider correction area compared to conventional electronic vibration suppressors.

Super+
By employing a wider correction area than “Super” “Super+ suppresses intense vibrations that cannot be suppressed with “Super. Potential application: Shipboard, attachments for ITS surveillance, on bridges, drones, vehicles, etc.

Flare reduction
with the new iris Diamond flares and ghosts that occur on lenses disrupts focusing and deteriorates the image quality. The new lens adopts 7 blades compared to the conventional 2 blades, improving this phenomenon by generating fine circular flares, and thus greatly improving image quality.

7 blades iris

IColor image acquisition during ICR ONOn conventional models, only black and white images are achieved while the IR cut filter was removed. The new ICR ON COLOR function enables the camera to capture shots with color even when the IR cut filter is removed. It is effective for color visibility in dark environments. The precision of color reproduction varies depending on the light source and brightness.

Advanced AF performance

IR Correction
IR Correction minimizes deviation in focus when switching from visible light to infrared light and makes the focusing operation quicker and smoother which makes the camera series more suitable for monitoring applications.

These are the simplitied images of the physical phenomena only and do not imply quantitative values.

Sophisticated AF algorithm
Sony’s proprietary AF algorithm enables zoom and focus at the same time in difficult conditions.

Spot Focus Spot AE Spot AWB Enables functioning of AF, AE, and AWB only in specified areas within the screen. Enables independent specification of any rectangle of the entire screen divided in 6x 8. For example, if the subject location is specified with Spot AE, enables capturing of images with Exposure effects reduced even if brightness changes occur outside the specified frame.

Wide Dynamic Range (Wide-D)Wide-D mode is a function for dividing an image into several blocks for correcting blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights in accordance with the intensity difference. It enables image acquisition in which portions ranging from dark to light can be recognized, even when capturing a subject with a large intensity difference that is backlit or includes extremely light regions of interest.

Visibility Enhancer (VE)
Depending on the imaging scene, the Visibility Enhancer function makes the darker part of a camera image brighter, and automatically correct brightness and contrast to show brig parts clearly.

Low Focal Plane Distortion Image
The image warp that occurs when capturing rapidly moving subjects are reduced.

Defog (low/mid/high)
When the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and low contrast, the defog mode will reduce the effects of the fog and make the subject appear clearer. You can select from four levels: OFF, Low, Middle and High. The effect level can be automatically adjusted according to the fog density.

Noise Reduction (NR)
The NR function removes noise (both random and nonrandom) to provide clearer images.

Privacy 2Zone Masking
Privacy Zone masking protects private objects and areas such as house windows, entrances, and exits which are within the camera’s range of vision but not subject to surveillance. Privacy zone masking can be masked on the monitor to protect privacy. Mask can be displayed on 8 places per screen Individual on/off zone masking settings.

StableZoom
“StableZoom” is a function for performing correction using the Image Stabilizer function in accordance with the zoom ratio, and smoothly zooming up to approximately 36x using a combination of the optical zoom and digital zoom.

• Black & White (Monochrome Image)

Auto ICR
Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter. With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically disabled (ICR On), and the infrared sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR Off ). Also, on systems equipped with an IR light, the internal data of the camera is used to make the proper decisions to avoid malfunctions. Auto ICR Mode operates with the AE Full Auto setting. When the Auto ICR Color Mode is set, the color is added.

Spot Light Avoidance
Avoid AF /One push AF focus issues when shooting a subject with a bright, spot light source, such as an outdoor light with Spot Light Avoidance. For example, when shooting outdoors at night with a surveillance camera, the camera may not focus due to the bright light. In that situation, using the Spot Light Avoidance function, reduces the impact of bright lights and you can focus with the AF/ One push AF

Other Functions
For the setting values, refer to the technical manual.

• Focus
  Equipped with various focus modes.
• AE (Auto Exposure Mode)
• White Balance Equipped with various modes.
• Motion Detection (MD)
  This function instructs the camera to detect movement within the monitoring area and then send an alarm signal automatically.
• Custom Preset
  The camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.
• Position Preset
  Using the position preset function, 16 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. This function allows you to achieve the desired status instantly, even without adjusting the various items each time.
• Title Display
