Type of camera mount in which there is 38 mm or 48 mm clearance between the lens rear mounting surface and the camera’s CCD.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Special compensation option in AE (Auto Exposure) mode. When the background is too bright and/or when the subject is too dark, backlight compensation modifies the action of Auto Exposure to make the subject appear clearer.
Industry:Consumer electronics
A function of Digital Signal Processing technology that enables the contrast of the black area of an image to be variable adjusted. The black stretch function emphasizes contrast in the dark areas while black compress enhances or deepens darkness.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Semiconductor device made of a matrix (or lines) of individual photosensitive elements, called pixels. The optics focus the scene onto the matrix and each pixel accumulates an electric charge proportional to the local intensity of received light and to the integration time. At read out time, all charges are transferred at the same time to an output matrix protected from light, where a sequential reading may take place while a new picture starts integrating. The output matrix size is half that of the sensitive matrix size for interlaced mode CCDs, and the same size for progressive scan CCDs.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Special operating mode of the electronic shutter of a CCD camera. The shutter timing is automatically adjusted to maintain the same video output level, irrespective of the scene illumination. Can only reduce the camera sensitivity. Allows the use of a fixed iris lens under variable lighting conditions. Often combined with AGC.
Industry:Consumer electronics
B/W video standard with 625 lines / frame, 2 interlaced fields / frame, 25 frames / second. Monochrome version of PAL.
Industry:Consumer electronics
The CCU provides a means of controlling a remote camera. So that the remote camera can be as small and light as possible, the CCU also includes all electronic circuits that do not have to be fitted inside the remote head, these are typically signal processing circuitry, input/output interfaces and power supply.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Color part of the composite video signal. Also called C. Separately transmitted in Y/C (S-video). It is the combination of the two color difference signals (U or R-Y) and (V or B-Y) modulated on to a subcarrier. See also YUV.
Industry:Consumer electronics
In a remote head camera system, the CHU is a small unit that only includes the sensor, its optical interface, the cable coupling to a CCU and the minimum amount of electronic circuitry.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Type of camera mount in which there is 17.526 mm clearance between the lens rear mounting surface and the camera’s CCD.
