High Picture Quality
All Sony mini domes incorporate a 1/4 type
Super HAD CCD for high horizontal resolution
and excellent sensitivity.  The SSC-CD73V and
SSC-CD73VT color cameras provide a high
resolution of 480 TV lines and operate under a
minimum illumination of 0.9 lx (color mode)/
0.2 lx (B/W mode)*

.  The SSC-CD43V and 
SSC-CD43VT color cameras also provide a high
resolution of 480 TV lines and feature a
minimum illumination of 0.8 lx*

Day/Night Function 
(SSC-CD73V and SSC-CD73VT)
The SSC-CD73V and SSC-CD73VT cameras
offer a “Day/Night” function to provide
optimized sensitivity in both day and night
shooting scenarios.  As the scene illumination
reduces and the acquired image darkens, the
infrared cut filter is automatically removed and
the camera switches to B/W mode, requiring
only a minimum illumination of 0.2 lx.
Incorporating an optimized lens for the
“Day/Night” function, the camera can produce a
clear and crisp image under normal illumination
or when used with near IR illuminators.  In
addition, “Day/Night” modes can be
automatically switched, or manually initiated on
demand through an external control signal.
FEATURES
Ruggedized Design 
(SSC-CD73V/CD73VT and SSC-MD53V)
The SSC-CD73V, SSC-CD73VT and SSC-MD53V
mini domes are housed in a heavy duty
aluminum diecast enclosure with a durable
polycarbonate viewing window which complies
with the IP66 standard.  The extremely durable
camera enclosure can withstand strong,
external impacts and is equipped with anti-theft
screws to further deter tampering and
vandalism.  
Built-in CS Mount, 
Auto Iris Vari-Focal Lens 
(SSC-CD73V/CD73VT and SSC-CD43V/CD43VT)  
The SSC-CD73V, SSC-CD73VT, SSC-CD43V and
SSC-CD43VT mini domes come with a built-in
CS mount, auto iris vari-focal lens with a focal
length of 3.0 to 8.0 mm to cover a broad range
of viewing choices 
(see Fig. 1)
and feature a
new masked dome cover with a clear viewing
slit.  This versatile and powerful lens
compensates the focal length difference
between visible light and infrared light.  The
result is clear, crisp images (subject remains in
focus) when going from visible to infrared light
and vice versa.
