Superior Picture Quality
Wide dynamic range with DynaView™
Incorporating newly developed DynaView
technology, these cameras achieve an incred-
ible dynamic range that is 128 times wider
than conventional cameras, so users can cap-
ture clear images even in extreme high-con-
trast lighting environments.

ible dynamic range that is 128 times wider

ture clear images even in extreme high-con-
trast lighting environments.
In DynaView mode, the camera captures
the same image twice – firstly with a normal
shutter speed, and then with a high shutter
speed. Newly developed LSI technology then
combines the dark areas captured at normal
shutter speed with the bright areas captured
at high shutter speed and creates one image –
an extremely high-contrast picture that would
be unattainable with a conventional camera.

DynaView technology also means more pow-
erful Backlight Compensation (BLC). While
conventional BLC can result in over exposure
of the image background, DynaView reduces
this to a minimum by using a high shutter
speed for the background, which consequently
provides optimum exposure for both the sub-
ject and the background.

High resolution and high sensitivity
The SSC-DC593P/DC598P cameras incorpo-
rate a 1/3 type IT (Interline Transfer) CCD with
440,000 pixels – a feature that contributes
to their superb picture quality and high sensi-
tivity. These cameras provide a high resolution
of 480 TV lines and can operate under a mini-
mum illumination of 0.07 lux in B&W mode or
0.8 lux in Colour mode.

Day/Night function
The SSC-DC593P/DC598P cameras offer a
“Day/Night” function to provide optimised
sensitivity in both day and night shooting sce-
narios. As the scene illumination reduces and
the acquired image darkens, the infrared filter
is automatically removed and the camera
switches to B&W mode, requiring a minimum
illumination of only 0.07 lux. For even greater
flexibility, the Day/Night function can also be
initiated on demand through an external con-
trol signal.

CCD IRIS
The CCD IRIS function allows the use of a
manual iris lens instead of a more costly auto-
matic iris lens. As image brightness increases,
the camera adjusts exposure by automatically
reducing the CCD photo sensor’s exposure
time (charge accumulation time). This is
achieved by using the CCD electronic shutter,
which has a range of 1/50 to 1/10,000 per sec-
ond.

Wide Auto Tracing White (ATW) range
Automatic Tracing White is a feature that auto-
matically adjusts the white balance in accor-
dance with any changes in lighting conditions,
ensuring that the appropriate colour balance
of a picture is always obtained.

Turbo AGC
These cameras incorporate an advanced
Turbo AGC function which allows the user to
boost camera gain to 24 dB. This enables the
image to be more easily distinguished, even if
it is shot in low light.
