Phenomena Specific To Cmos Image Sensors; Features - Sony IPELA PCSA-CXA55 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/XG55/XG55S/XA80/XA55 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/XG55/XG55S/XA80/XA55.
CMOS camera with high image
quality
The camera unit incorporates 8,000,000
effective picture elements (pixels) that can
shoot high-definition images to offer
superior picture quality.
Built-in microphone
With a built-in microphone, the camera
leaves a small footprint.
Lens cover for when image capture is
not required
Hiding the lens with the lens cover allows
you to temporarily stop image capture while
leaving the system running.
Simple suction cup mounting
Mount the camera to the TV monitor with a
single suction cup. The adjustable link arm
allows mounting on a wide range TV
monitors. (Mounting may not be possible on
some TV monitors.)
Video format compatible with HD
The camera allows you to shoot an image
using the 720p high definition video format,
which is equivalent to an HD-TV broadcast.
