Features
Super Motion operation
When the camera is used with the CA-950/950P and
CCU-900/900P, the built-in CCDs are driven at triple
speed, which enables triple-speed component digital
video signal output. In combination use with a MVA-
555 Multi Access Video Disk Recorder, stable and
natural slow-motion picture can be obtained.
Superior performance
Newly developed LSI: A newly developed digital
signal processing LSI and a 12-bit A/D converter
provide various functions and assure a high-quality
picture.
High signal-to-noise ratio: A high signal-to-noise
ratio has been achieved by use of a top-performing
CCD, excellent circuitry, and electronic packaging
technology.
Wide dynamic range: Automatic and manual control
capabilities for knee point and knee slope enables
you to reproduce high-luminance subjects clearly
in up to 600% normal light.
High sensitivity: A sensitivity of F8 at 2,000 lux
(typical) has been achieved. When the video gain
is raised by 12 dB, a video level of 100% is
obtained with minimum subject illuminance of 16
lux.
High vertical resolution: The vertical resolution can
be improved to 450 lines for the BVP-9500WS or
to 550 lines for the BVP-9500WSP using the EVS
