Vaddio added the ClearVIEW HD-19 high definition PTZ camera with SmartSHOT technology to its ClearVIEW line of cameras. Equipped with a 19x optical zoom lens, it is built around a 1.3 megapixel, 1/3-Type Sony Exmor high-speed, low-noise CMOS image sensor. Integrated SmartSHOT technology with AIP (Adjustable Image Processing) allows for greater user control over DSP functions, helping them enhance color and sharpness in changing lighting conditions and adjusting the DSP to suit the venue. The camera also offers image stabilization and iris/shutter control for outdoor events.
Other features include increased pixel aperture size, high frame rate, high signal-to-noise and a column-parallel A/D conversion method. Outputs include component HD in 1080p, 1080i or 720p and simultaneous SD video in 480i. SDI is also available with an optional slot card. Control runs via VISCA command protocol or the IR remote (supplied). Slip-clutch robotics enhance system performance with smooth pan/tilt operation. Minimum illumination is rated at an 0.7 LUX for extremely low-lit areas.
Like all Vaddio ClearVIEW cameras, the HD-19 can be configured as a WallVIEW SR (Short-Range), WallVIEW DVI/HDMI or WallVIEW CCU system. The SR system provides power to the camera, and component HD (or DVI/HDMI) video back to the Quick-Connect SR up to 100 feet over a single Cat5 cable. Both the SR and CCU versions use the EZ-Port on the back of the camera. With an additional CCU EZIM card power, video and control can be run up to 500 feet over Cat5 cable. In addition, the CCU allows the user adjustable red and blue gain, pedestal, gamma, chroma, knee, iris and gain and allows up to three scene settings to be stored in the CCU. An optional SDI Slot card is also available.
