Exwave HAD
TM
(SSC-DC50A/DC54A/DC393/M383)
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-DC50A/DC54A)
Strong backlighting can often cause the subject of an image to
be cast into a 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 color 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.

Trinitron
®
CRT
Sony incorporates Trinitron CRTs in all of its surveillance color
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.
