Higher Sensitivity
The sensitivity of these cameras is well over twce that
of the current Sony Hyper HAD
surveillance
cameras. The conventional Sony Hyper HAD camera
has an OCL (On Chip Lens) located over each pixel
on the CCD. These concentrate the light on the
photosensor areas and the sensitivity of the camera is
improved. The Exwave HAD takes this Hyper HAD
technology a giant step further The OCL of the
Exwave HAD camera is a nearly gap-less structure,
elimnating the ineffective areas between the
mcrolenses. This enables the hole accumulation
layer to receive the maximumamount of light.
Excellent picture quality
With a high resolution of 480 TV lines and the excellent sensitivity of 0.8 lx (F1.2, 50 IRE, TURBOAGC ON),
these cameras capture high quality images even in the extremely lowlight situations of night-time surveillance.
A further benefit of the Exwave HAD technology is that dark current noise is reduced to provide a very high
signal-to-noise ratio of 50 dB.
Exwave HAD Technology - Higher Sensitivity, Lower Smear
The SSC-DC330P SSC-DC334P and SSC-DC338P cameras are equipped wth the newTurbo AGC (Auto Gain
Control) function. This improves sensitivity more flexibly and effectively than conventional AGC by controlling
the video gain over a range increased to 0-24 dB fromthe 0-18 dB range of previous models. This
improvement means that a subject under very lowillumnation can be distinguished more clearly.
Strong back lighting can often cause the subject of the picture to be in shadow To overcome this problem
these cameras have Smart Control which achieves the optimumbalance between Iris and Gain settings in a
unified digital signal processing circuit. The result is that clear colour images can be obtained even under
severe or varying lighting conditions.

Lower Smear Levels
Smear is caused by the leakage of unwanted light on
to the vertical shift register of a CCD. The smear level
of the Exwave HAD camera is reduced to 1/50th that
of the Hyper HAD camera. This dramatic reduction is a
function of the newunit cell structure that mnimzes
the reflection of unwanted light onto the CCD surface.
