High Resolution, B/W video camera with 1/3 Type Exwave HAD(TM) CCD, AC220-240 volt

The SSC-M388CE offers dependably, high picture quality and sensitivity with a stylish, lightweight, compact design.
The Sony SSC-M388CE offers high picture quality with a resolution of 570TV lines at a competitive price. By incorporating Sony’s Exwave HAD(TM) CCD technology a remarkably high sensitivity of 0.07 lux at F1.2 (50 IRE, AGC ON) is possible and an excellent signal-to-noise ration of better than 50dB can be achieved.
In addition the SSC-M388CE has other great features such as backlight compensation, Turbo AGC, CCD Iris(TM), and a new stylish, compact design. The SSC-M388CE operates on AC220-240 volt.

Lens Option

Horizontal resolution of 570 TV lines

The SSC-M388CE camera incorporates a 1/3 type IT Exwave HAD(TM) CCD with more than 437,000 effective picture elements and a horizontal resolution of 570 TV lines.

High sensitivity

Sony Exwave HAD(TM) CCD offers extremely high sensitivity from the use of an improved microlens over each pixel of the CCD, so that a light level of only 0.07 lux at F1.2 (50 IRE, AGC ON) is required to obtain excellent picture results.

BLC (Backlight Compensation)

The SSC-M388CE camera can automatically compensate for backlight conditions by switching on the Back Light Compensation (BLC) mode, which is centre measured. The BLC mode is on/off switchable.

Turbo AGC

The SSC-M388CE camera is equipped with an advanced Turbo AGC function. This boosts the range of the camera’s AGC by up to 24 dB so that a subject under low illumination can be distinguished more clearly. The Turbo AGC is on/off switchable.

CCD IRISTM function

This function allows the use of an inexpensive manual iris lens instead of a more costly automatic iris lens. As the scene illumination level varies, this camera compensates by automatically changing the exposure time of the photo sensors. This is achieved by varying the electronic shutter speed of the CCD over a range or 1/50 to 1/100,000 of a second.

CS-mount

The camera can be used with CS-mount lenses and precise back-focus adjustment can be easily accomplished. C-Mount lenses also can be used with a C-mount adapter.

AC 220-240 volt operation

The SSC-M388CE operates on AC 220-240 volt.

Stylish and Compact Design

The new stylish compact design is lightweight and easy to integrate into almost any interior. In addition due to the compact size it is easy to fit into almost any housing.
