1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD, 680K Pixels
1/6" CCD with 680,000 pixels provides
stunning detail and clarity. The Advanced
HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD
allows more light to reach the imager which
reduces video noise to improve signal-to-
noise ratio by up to 6dB (2x better than a
standard CCD) which is particularly
effective when shooting in dark situations.
