HAD Sensor Technology
The HDW-750P uses Power HAD™ CCDs incorporating the
latest FIT sensor and on-chip lens structure. The 2/3-inch
2.2 million pixel sensors have a dramatically improved light
collecting capability, and are based upon the 1920 x 1080 CIF
(Common Interchange Format). Class-leading sensitivity of
F10 at 2000 Lux enables the capture of images in extremely
low lighting conditions. Signal-to-noise ratio is 54dB and
vertical smear is –135dB*.
2/3-inch 2.2 million pixel IT CCD sensors are used in the
HDW-730S. These provide equivalent performance to the FIT
CCDs used in the HDW-750P, but with a smear level of
–125dB*.
The HDW-730S and HDW-750P provide a choice of picture
acquisition modes. The HDW-730S can acquire at 1080/50i
