From high sensitivity type to ultra small sized type,

there’s one which is suitable for your application.

Our ultra-small, digital processing 3CCD camera line-ups are renowned 

for its high sensitivity and life-like color reproduction.

Newly developed GP-US542 is the smallest and most light-weighted 3CCD camera head in the world.

These three types (GP-US522/US532/US542) are all controlled by the same CCU

(Camera control unit), enabling to swap camera heads depending on your applications.
