1/2-inch format VGA progressive scan CCD color camera. equipped with the progressive full frame RGB output of high frame rate. External synchronization (HD/VD) and external trigger function. Suitable for the image-processing equipment input. By adoption of the progressive scan CCD image sensor and RGB primary color mosaic fi lters, the picture of high vertical resolution and high color fidelity can be acquired. The clear picture of a high signal to noise ratio (S/N) is obtained by the new digital signal processor (DSP) adoption which has improved luminance signal processing, such as 5H enhancer processing.
