Panasonic introduces the 

Super Dynamic 

III

Series, the first surveillance cameras able to think and act on their own. 

They detect both external changes and attempts at interference and take the precise action required to prevent loss of vital scenes.  

Superb image quality, the result of unprecedented image-processing performance, delivers a true picture needed for rock-solid identification. 

With their extraordinary intelligence and active foresight, 

Super Dynamic

Series cameras bring amazing reality to 24-hour surveillance.

When switching from color to B/W mode, the WV-CP480 

Series automatically adjusts the CCD position to achieve 

the return to perfect focus. Blurring caused in previous 

cameras by removing the IR cut filter is eliminated. 

Then, when the camera switches back from B/W to color 

mode, the CCD automatically returns to the correct 

position for color imaging, ensuring perfect focus 24 

hours, both night and day. Another important benefit of 

Auto Back Focus is eliminating the time and labor 

required to adjust focus after cameras have been 

installed. Focus can be roughly set when a camera is 

installed, then adjusted using the optional system 

controller.

Original Image 

Our newly developed DSP extracts Motion Vector, Motion Area, Edge/Frame Difference 

and Image Sampling data from the image and sends that data to the new Image Analysis 

Algorithm. The Algorithm is embodied in the proprietary microprocessor that performs the

The double speed CCD outputs a 1/8,000 second short signal to capture the bright area of the image and a 1/60 second long signal to capture the shaded area. 

The enhanced DSP combines these signals to provide a dynamic range 128 times greater than a standard video camera.

Also newly developed in the DSP is “Area Free (Pixel Based) Natural Contrast Image Correction”, which optimizes the gray-scale image in response to the Input 

Signal Level of each individual Pixel. The Pixel Based 128x Dynamic Range delivers a smoother natural reproduction of high contrast images, e.g. heavy backlight 

conditions, regardless of object position, size, shape, or number. 

Input signals are divided into four levels and the 
appropriate gray-scale corrections are applied to each.
