Superior Picture Quality
High resolution and high sensitivity
The SSC-DC593 camera incorporates a
1/3 type IT (Interline Transfer) CCD with
380,000 pixels. This camera provides 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.

DynaView
A wide dynamic range with DynaView
technology
With the newly developed DynaView
technology, this camera achieves 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 - first 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-DC593 camera to achieve more
powerful Back-Light Compensation (BLC).
While conventional BLC can result in over
At high speed shutter
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-DC593 camera offers 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.
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). The CCD iris range is 1/60 ~
1/100,000 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 under different
illuminants. This ensures that the appropriate
color balance of an image is always
obtained. The SSC-DC593 camera provides
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-DC593 camera is equipped with
the advanced Turbo AGC function. This
allows the user to boost the camera's gain
up to 24 dB, enabling viewers of the image
to distinguish the subject more easily - even
if it is shot in low light. The AGC settings
are OFF, NORMAL, TURBO, or MANUAL.
