Company Profile:
Type of camera mount in which there is 38 mm or 48 mm clearance between the lens rear mounting surface and the camera’s CCD.
Industry:Consumer electronics
A function of Digital Signal Processing technology that enables the contrast of the black area of an image to be variable adjusted. The black stretch function emphasizes contrast in the dark areas while black compress enhances or deepens darkness.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Semiconductor device made of a matrix (or lines) of individual photosensitive elements, called pixels. The optics focus the scene onto the matrix and each pixel accumulates an electric charge proportional to the local intensity of received light and to the integration time. At read out time, all charges are transferred at the same time to an output matrix protected from light, where a sequential reading may take place while a new picture starts integrating. The output matrix size is half that of the sensitive matrix size for interlaced mode CCDs, and the same size for progressive scan CCDs.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Color part of the composite video signal. Also called C. Separately transmitted in Y/C (S-video). It is the combination of the two color difference signals (U or R-Y) and (V or B-Y) modulated on to a subcarrier. See also YUV.

In a remote head camera system, the CHU is a small unit that only includes the sensor, its optical interface, the cable coupling to a CCU and the minimum amount of electronic circuitry.
Industry:Consumer electronics
The CCU provides a means of controlling a remote camera. So that the remote camera can be as small and light as possible, the CCU also includes all electronic circuits that do not have to be fitted inside the remote head, these are typically signal processing circuitry, input/output interfaces and power supply.

Type of camera mount in which there is 17.526 mm clearance between the lens rear mounting surface and the camera’s CCD.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Capability of a camera to output less than its maximum number of horizontal lines, but at a higher rate. Unlike partial scanning, the lines output in high rate scanning are symmetrical about the optical sensor center. This means that there is normally no need to re-aim the camera when changing from normal to high rate scanning.
Industry:Consumer electronics
A derivative of the HAD sensor that incorporates microscopic lenses mounted over each sensing pixel. Hyper HAD sensors have no perceptible smear and are nearly twice as sensitive as HAD sensors.
Industry:Consumer electronics
This function is useful in low light environments. With the IR cut filter removed, the sensitivity of the camera to IR illumination is increased.
