JVC Announces New Video Cameras
June 14, 2004
Atlanta, GA - JVC Professional has unveiled two high performance cameras for professional video applications.
The KY-F560 and KY-F550 cameras feature newly designed high-quality, low-noise 12-bit digital signal processing (DSP) and Digital Auto Shading Compensation.
The compact KY-F560 is an affordable three-chip 1/2-inch CCD box camera that offers remote functionality that is extendable for studio configurations.
It builds upon the capabilities of the JVC KY-F32 camera, producing 850 lines of horizontal resolution and a signal-to-noise ratio of 62dB. The KY-F560 offers excellent sensitivity, F13 at 2,000 lux and produces 100 percent video in a minimum illumination of 0.5 lux, the manufacturer describes. Three 1/2-inch progressive scan CCD chips offer 440,000 effective pixels and 16 x 9 wide screen capability. The camera has composite output and Genlock input. Camera features such as the lens, iris, focus and zoom can be controlled remotely through the RS232C port.
Optional plug-in boards allow users to easily expand the functionality of the high-performance KY-F560 camera to include remote pan/tilt/zoom capabilities and SDI output.
JVC’s KY-F550U is an extremely compact, very high quality 1/3-inch 3-CCD camera well suited for a wide range of remote-controlled imaging and medical applications. Following in the footsteps of JVC’s successful KY-F55B, the lightweight F550 offers enhanced performance, connectivity and unique customer-requested features such as simple “smart cable” connections. A single cable connected to the camera's IEEE-1394 interface can provide power and control signals to the camera as well as digital video output to the connected device.
The KY-F550 offers superb camera performance with an exceptional 800 lines of horizontal resolution and a 62 dB signal-to-noise ratio. The high-performance three CCDs offer very high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lux and a 1-lux minimum illumination (F1.4). The KY-F550 comes with multiple video outputs, including DV (IEEE1394), RGB, Y/C and composite video signals. The built-in IEEE 1394 interface lets users transfer digital signals from the camera to storage devices. KY-Controller software bundled with the KY-F550 enables PC remote control of the camera.
The KY-F550 uses a standard C-Mount lens enabling it to mount microscope, endoscope or surgery microscope lenses without any extra optical adapters.
