Superior Picture Quality
High resolution and high sensitivity
The SSC-DC590/DC593/DC593P/DC598P
cameras incorporate a 1/3 type IT (Interline
Transfer) CCD with 380,000 pixels
(SSC-DC590/DC593)/440,000 pixels
(SSC-DC593P/DC598P) - a feature that
contributes to their superb picture quality
and high sensitivity. These cameras provide
a high resolution of 480 TV lines and can
operate under a minimum illumination of
0.07 lx in B&W mode or 0.8 lx in Color mode.
A wide dynamic range with
DynaView technology
With the newly developed DynaView
technology, these cameras achieve an
incredible dynamic range that is 128 times
wider than conventional cameras. Thanks
to this new technology, users can capture
clear images even in extreme high-contrast
lighting environments.
By activating the DynaView mode, the
camera will capture the same image twice -
firstly with a normal shutter speed, and then
with a high shutter speed. The newly
developed LSI technology then combines
the dark areas captured at normal shutter
speed with the bright areas captured at
high shutter speed to create one image.
The result is an extremely high-contrast
picture that is unattainable with a
conventional camera.
Additionally, DynaView technology allows
the SSC-DC590/DC593/DC593P/DC598P
cameras to achieve more powerful Back-
Light 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 subject and
the background.
Day/Night function
The SSC-DC590/DC593/DC593P/DC598P
cameras offer a “Day/Night” function to
provide optimized sensitivity in both day
and night shooting scenarios. 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 only a minimum illumination
of 0.07 lx. In addition, the camera’s
“Day/Night” function can be initiated on
demand through an external control signal
for added flexibility.
Variable Gamma Curve
The SSC-DC590/DC593/DC593P/DC598P
color video cameras are equipped with a
gamma correction function; users can now
choose from four preset gamma curves. By
selecting the appropriate gamma curve,
depending on the brightness of the image,
both dark and bright portions of the image
are reproduced clearly and sharply.
CCD IRIS
The CCD IRIS function allows the use of a
manual iris lens instead of a more costly
automatic iris lens. As the image brightness
increases, the camera adjusts the 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 1/60 (NTSC)/ 1/50 (PAL) to
1/10,000 second.
A wide Auto Tracing White (ATW)
range
Automatic Tracing White is a feature that
automatically adjusts the camera white
balance in accordance with any changes in
the lighting conditions and different
illuminants. This ensures that the
appropriate color balance of a picture is
always obtained. The SSC-DC590/DC593/
DC593P/DC598P cameras provide an
extremely wide Automatic Tracing White
range of 2,000 K to 10,000 K, allowing
adjustment-free operation under a variety of
light conditions. Also, these cameras
feature preset color temperature settings
and user-defined manual settings.
Turbo AGC
The SSC-DC590/DC593/DC593P/DC598P
cameras are equipped with the advanced
Turbo AGC function. This allows the user
to boost the camera’s gain to 24 dB,
enabling viewers of the image to distinguish
the subject more easily - even if it is shot in
low light. The AGC mode is selectable from
OFF, NORMAL, TURBO, or MANUAL.
