SONY ADVANCED ELECTRONIC IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES

3-1. Industry-first Plug-in Imager Assembly

The Plug-in Imager Assembly is in the form of a self-contained
imaging subsystem. It is, in essence, a miniature plug-in camera
containing the CCD block and all its support systems. This imager
assembly can be easily removed and installed so that operators with
no special skills can easily exchange imager assemblies in the field.
There are several types of Imager Assembly. The OHB-750A/750AP
is a 2/3-inch 4:3 FIT type CCD and the 750WSA/750WSAP is a 2/3-
inch 16:9/4:3 switchable widescreen FIT type CCD. For IT types, 4:3
standard screen sized OHB-730/730P and 16:9/4:3 switchable
widescreen OHB-730WS/730WSP are available. The latest Power
HAD technology achieves superior S/N ratio and extremely low
smear level. One very beneficial feature is that no readjustment is
required after exchanging these imager assemblies. This
breakthrough concept also offers a highly cost-effective way of
upgrading CCDs over the camera life span.
