High sensitivity color camera KP-DE500
100 Times More Sensitive Than A Normal Camera
A new 1/2 inch EM-CCD with electron multiplication is used to achieve exceptional sensitivity.
Color in full motion mode
Color accumulation mode
Monochrome in full motion mode
Monochrome accumulation mode 0.0000008 lx
Hitachi Technology Enables Superior Image Reproduction In Low Light Levels
Thermoelectric cooling used on the EM-CCD to reduce the effects of dark current noise along with
a new digital signal processor (DSP) that provides digital noise reduction of the luminous signal yields
sharp clear pictures with a high S/N ratio.
High sensitivity monochrome camera KP-E500
For Even Greater Sensitivity A Monochrome Version of the Camera is Available Allowing
Use in Even Lower Light Levels
In the normal mode of operation the camera provides higher
sensitivity as compared to a normal camera. In the accumulation
mode unmatched sensitivity is achieved allowing use in extremely
low light situations.
Monochrome in full motion mode
Monochrome accumulation mode 0.0000005 lx
Electron Multiplication used in the EM-CCD Improves
Performance While Reducing Technical Issues
Typical high sensitivity cameras use an Image Intensifier Tube
that is subject to burn in, afterimage (lag) and short life span.
These problems are eliminated with the use of the EM-CCD.
