Phenomena Specific To Cmos Image Sensors; Features - Sony IPELA PCSA-CXG80 Mode D'emploi

Phenomena Specific
to CMOS Image
Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear
in images are specific to CMOS
(Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not
indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are
produced with high-precision technologies,
fine white flecks may be generated on the
screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays,
etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS
image sensors and is not a malfunction.
White flecks tend to be seen particularly in
the following cases:
• during operation at a high environmental
temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
This phenomena may be improved by
turning the camera off and then on again.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot,
they may appear jagged or flicker.

Features

The camera is designed to be used
exclusively with the Sony PCS-XG80/
XG80S HD Visual Communication System.
The power is supplied to the camera by the
HD Visual Communication System. For
adjustments and settings of the camera, refer
to the Operating Instructions of the PCS-
XG80/XG80S.
CMOS camera with high image
quality
The camera unit incorporates 2,000,000
effective picture elements (pixels) that can
shoot high-definition images to offer
superior picture quality.
Silent, high-speed pan and tilt action
By adopting the direct drive motor
mechanism, in addition to high-speed pan/
tilt action, improvement of the noise
reduction mechanism lets you use the
camera for a variety of purposes.
Video format compatible with full HD
The camera allows you to shoot an image
using the 1080i high definition video format,
which is equivalent to an HD-TV broadcast.
