In monitoring and surveillance applications, camera
sensitivity is one of the most important factors in
obtaining a clear image in low light conditions.
Exwave HAD technology is well over twice that of cameras
using the Sony Hyper HAD
TM
technology. The Hyper HAD
sensor structure has an OCL (on chip lens) located over
each pixel. This results in light being concentrated on the
photosensor areas and the sensitivity of the camera is
improved. Exwave HAD technology takes the Hyper HAD
technology a giant step further. The OCL of the Exwave
HAD is a nearly gapless structure, eliminating the
ineffective areas between the microlenses. This enables
the hole accumulated layer to receive the maximum
amount of light.
In addition, the smear level of the Exwave HAD technology
is reduced to 1/50th that of the Hyper HAD technology.
This leakage is dramatically reduced because the
improvement of the unit cell structure minimizes the
unnecessary reflection of the light onto the CCD surface.
Smart Control
TM
SSC-DC50AP/DC54AP/DC58AP
Strong backlighting can often cause the subject of an
image to be cast into shadow. To overcome this problem,
the Smart Control function achieves the optimum balance
between Iris and Gain settings in a unified digital signal
processing circuit. As a result, clear colour images can be
obtained even under severe or varying lighting conditions.
Smart Control also works intelligently as it employs
average light metering to detect the position of the major
subject, and Fuzzy Logic to calculate the proper exposure.
Monitor Technology
Trinitron
®
CRT
Sony incorporates Trinitron CRTs in all of its surveillance
colour monitors. Sony’s Trinitron technology allows for
high resolution and the best possible picture reproduction.
With its completely flat and straight vertical surface, the
Trinitron CRT provides the lowest purity imperfection
available in CRT technology today.
Moreover, Sony manufactures its own CRTs to assure
quality performance in all of its monitors.
