Panasonic GP-MS112 - Manual (Page 3)

PREFACE
The Panasonic GP-MS112 CCD Micro-Camera overcomes
space limitations that have complicated many video
applications. Weighing only 0.04 lbs (16g), this remarkably
compact CCTV camera measures only two-thirds of an
inch in diameter and less than two inches in length.
It can easily be separated from its control unit and
extended up to 99-feet {30-meters) away, using an optional
99-feet {30-meters} cable {GP-CA49). So the exceptionally
maneuverable GP-MS112 lets you obtain a whole new
world of camera angles and shots that were once quite
difficult to achieve.
With the 330,000-element, 1/2-inch CCD pick-up device,
horizontal resolution is moré than 500 lines, and
signal-to-noise ratio is 46 dB. An AGC Selection Switch and
Gain Selection Switch, lets you obtain clear, high-quality
images in light as low as 0.07 footcandle (0.7 lux). In addition,
a small diameter wide-angle lens developed by Matsushita
makes high resolution standard even with subjects as close
as 4/5th of an inch away.
In addition, the camera head can be used with most exisiting
camera systems. And the versatile GP-MS112 can be
connected to a timelapse VTR, video printer or floppy disk
recorder, for a host of new and traditional applications.
