Sanyo VCC-4794E - 1/3

Multi-spot metering

Main Features

• 1/3-inch CCD image sensor with approx. 410,000 picture elements
• Super-high horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines (typical) 
• Higher sensitivity and lower smear effect than that of the previous

model:

• New, built-in DSP (digital signal processing) circuitry delivers superior 

color reproduction and reduced noise.

• The camera’s sensitivity to exposed light allows it to automatically 

switch from color to B/W mode.

• Two types of backlight compensation selectable. 

Multi-spot metering system:

Luminance is measured 
in 64 separate areas for 
optimum backlight 
compensation even for 
peripheral and moving 
objects; features select-
able normal and high 
modes.

VCC-4794 E

Previous model (VCC-4594)

A two-in-one solution: a color camera during the day, 
a high-sensitivity B/W camera during the night

A color camera, which captures objects in vivid colors in daylight, 
becomes a high-sensitivity B/W camera during the night and provides 
tiny details even in dark corners. A day/night camera is a two-in-one 
solution.

Other Features

• Auto-tracing or manual white balance selectable (Slide SW)
• Internal synchronization, line-lock capability
• Built-in electronic iris for indoor use

Center-zone metering system: 

Luminance measured at center and automatic lens aperture adjustment 
enable a clear image even when backlit.
