Wednesday, August 09, 2023 Canon (Canon) launched the MS-500 interchangeable-lens camcorder. Support for ultra-high-sensitivity recording using a 1.0-inch Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) sensor that delivers the world’s highest image resolution at 3.2 megapixels, officially scheduled for release in September. High-security-related operational areas such as ports, infrastructure and borders require highly accurate surveillance systems that capture targets clearly day and night. It uses the world’s first SPAD sensor for color video recording of subjects as low as 0.001 lux, which, when combined with a high-quality ultra-telephoto focal length broadcast lens, delivers Capable of capturing subjects many kilometers away even in the dark at night, the MS-500 complements and complements the Canon ME20/ML Series of ultra-fast cameras. to more comprehensively meet the needs of modern advanced surveillance Combining the power of SPAD sensors and broadcast lenses for remote night vision, SPAD sensors use “Photon Counting” technology, which calculates the light particles (photons) measured by each pixel. single particle can expand the light regarding 1 million times and transform into a large electric charge This makes it possible to detect even small amounts of light. In addition, all these photons can be counted digitally, so noise can be eliminated during signal reading. This is the main advantage of the SPAD type sensor, enabling clear color video shooting even in ambient light below 0.001 lux. Widely used for broadcast lenses This makes it compatible with Canon’s wide range of broadcast lenses capable of super-telephoto zooming. This enables clear detection of objects several kilometers away even in the dark at night. Image recording improvements with noise and blur reduction functions Raise the bar for advanced surveillance in night vision and remote surveillance Effects of atmospheric noise and vibration especially in low light conditions May cause video clarity issues. To address this issue, the MS-500 is equipped with the “CrispImg2” system as a standard feature. To help adjust the contrast, gamma graph and reduce noise (Noise) to be the most suitable for recording images. which can be customized to be able to set the image quality according to the usage pattern This makes it possible to capture clear video any time of the day or night. The MS-500 also has a “Haze Compensation” function to help reduce blurring from smoke or fog. It automatically adjusts to optimize contrast and enhance images to deliver better video quality. The MS-500 will be available starting September 2023. Key Features 1. Combining the power of the SPAD sensor and broadcast lens. For long-distance nighttime surveillance, SPAD sensors use “Photon Counting” technology, which calculates the light particles (photons) measured by each pixel (unlike the “charge accumulation method” of CMOS sensors, which measures the amount of light captured by each pixel). accumulated in the pixel over time), which amplifies the light charge approximately 1 million times and transforms into a large electric charge. In addition, every photon can be counted digitally, so noise can be reduced during signal reading. Sharp, full HD color images can be recorded even with subject illumination as low as 0.001 lux. Bayonet lens mount (equivalent to BTA S-1005B standard) is widely used in broadcast lenses. Therefore, it can be used with a wide range of Canon broadcast lenses that can have ultra-telephoto zooms. Canon features a lens barrel design and lens coating technology that reduces unwanted reflections. This enables clear video recording with minimal ghosting and flare. In addition, the digital servo system digital drive unit and high resolution encoder This enables zooming, focusing and iris opening and closing with high speed and precision. 2. Image Correction function for better visualization. Equipped with noise reduction and aperture-optimized features, “CrispImg2” optimizes sharpness, gamma curve and noise reduction for surveillance recording. It is installed as standard in the Custom Picture function to be able to adjust the image quality settings as desired. It can also be selected as an automatic setting to reduce noise. Sharpen And the visibility of the image as well. The “Smart Shade Control ” function automatically adjusts the appropriate exposure. To reduce shadows in dark parts of the image and background blur caused by backlighting or dark areas in video, the “Haze Compensation6” function reduces blurring from smoke or fog. and automatically adjusts the values to achieve optimum contrast. 3. Support serial communication function (Serial Communication), can use remote control to adjust the pan/tilt angle and image quality setting. Support for Canon’s proprietary serial control protocol “NU”, which is used with Canon’s ultra-high-sensitivity cameras and remote surveillance cameras. Supports the US Pelco, Inc. “Pelco-D” protocol, which is widely used in remote surveillance cameras and pan-tilt heads. Use a cable to connect a serial device via the terminal, such as a pan-tilt head that supports this protocol, to a remote terminal on the rear panel of the MS-500 camera. Cameras, lenses and pan-tilt heads remotely through commands from the control device
