FEATURES OF ALL MODELS
Adaptive Black Stretch
Adaptive black stretch technology increases the visibility of subjects in dark areas of a video scene without
degrading image quality in the brighter areas. This is accomplished by analyzing the illumination map/signal level
distribution and adjusting the gamma correction for each area separately. This results in clear, more visible images.
Factory-Installed Heater for Outdoor Installations
The heater turns on automatically when the temperature inside the camera drops below +10 °C (50 °F) and turns
off when the temperature rises. A small fan inside the heater minimizes condensation on the surface of the
enclosure caused by changes in ambient temperature unless temperatures change too rapidly.
NOTES:
• When using a 12 V DC power supply, the heater is unavailable.
• Turning the heater on and off may disturb the camera images.
• The power supply of the camera shall be turned off when mounting or dismounting the heater.
• When servicing, pay attention to high temperatures on the surface of the heater. Disconnect the harness and
wait until the heater cools.
• When the camera is installed and operated in low temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F), normal images may
not be obtained immediately after startup. In such a case, wait approximately 60 minutes or more.
FEATURES OF THE SUPER DYNAMIC 5 (SD5)
™
MODELS
High Resolution CCD
The new CCD has 976 horizontal pixels and a horizontal resolution as high as 650 TV lines (typ.).
Auto Back Focus (ABF)
Automatically adjust the back focus using the operation button or the setup menu.
The auto back focus function also allows users to correct the focus when changing between color and black-white
images.
High Sensitivity with Noise Reduction
The introduction of low noise circuit design has achieved extremely high sensitivity, resulting in the minimum
illuminance of 0.1 lux in the color mode and 0.01 lux in the black-white mode.
Night Monochrome Image Activation
No operation is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color mode to the black-white
mode at low illuminance.
