10. New Image Sensors C series S series 1/1.8 type 2.8M 1/1 type 6M
“EXview HAD CCDⅡ” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
The “EXview HAD CCD Ⅱ” is a CCD image sensor that realizes sensitivity (typical) of 1000 mV or more per 1 μ㎡ (Color : F5.6/ BW: F8 in 1 s accumulation equivalent) and improves light efficiency by including near infrared light region as a basic structure of Sony’s “EXview HAD CCD”.

22. Sensitivity Control CCD substrate bias voltage adjustment
By adjusting the substrate bias, the saturation signal charge can be increased or decreased
Increasing the saturation signal charge improves the sensitivity
Decreasing the saturation signal charge reduced the smearing

24. Partial Scanning High speed acquisition (Partial Scan) Four parameters
By reducing the size of the acquisition region (ROI) the amount of data can be reduced and the acquisition speed increased
Can be used in combination with H/V binning function
Vertical: 2[pix] step / Horizontal: 2[pix] step
Four parameters
Parameter:
“Width”
“Height”
“Offset X”
