1/2-inch format near CCD infrared camera. Peak sensitivity of the camera occurs at 640 nanometers compared with a conventional camera whose peak sensitivity occurs at 510 nanometers. Useful sensitivityof the KP-M3R extends above 900 nanometers, making it useful for applications ranging from microscopy to image processing systems. A high horizontal resolution of 570 TV lines and a S/N of 56dB provide detailed images with low noise, in a compact rugged package. Standard features include a multiple step electronic shutter, internal or external synchronization, field or frame integration mode and a field -on-demand function.
