Packing the ultra high sensitivity of expandable ISO 409600 in its compact body, the UMC-S3C 4K video camera features top levels of minimum illumination of less than 0.004 lx.
The UMC-S3C 4K video camera achieves this illumination by using its highly sensitive 35 mm full-frame Exmor® sensor, optimized E mount lenses to maximize the performance of the sensor, and its signal processing engine. This enables the camera to record crisp, clear 4K/30 fps color video in the XAVC S format at 100 Mbps and 12 megapixel color still images with much less noise in extreme low-light conditions.
The new camera enables smooth 4K/30 fps color video in almost pitch-black conditions such as nighttime starlight or indoors with a poor lighting source when it is a challenge for the human eye to see the object. Also, the camera captures blur-less images with high-speed electronic shutter so that it gives users ability to track letters (characters), numbers, and human facial expression clearly in poorly lit conditions. Furthermore, the camera is equipped with a mechanical shutter to capture extremely clear and sharp 12 megapixel color still images even for moving subjects in a scene.
This camera adopts a high-quality interchangeable E mount lens, which is used for consumer digital cameras and professional camcorders to give users the flexibility to adjust the viewing angle to fit various environments and applications. It also maximizes the benefits of 4K resolution, allowing detailed analysis of specific areas in a scene, together with a wide-area situational overview.
Long duration of video and still images can be continuously recorded to the camera’s onboard SD memory card or put out via an HDMI interface, instead of connecting to network (not available for network functionality). With a 64 GB memory card, users can record up to 125 minutes of 4K footage with standard quality (30fps/ 60 Mbps). This is a huge advantage for users to install the camera in challenging environments where cabling or space is a huge limitation.
Weighting at approximately 14.1 oz (400 g), the lightweight UMC-S3C allows users to easily install it to various mobile products such as vehicles and robots. This stand-alone camera system can be controlled via multi terminal, remote controller, or compatible software. Various playback and live view functions are available with a remote controller and the use of a PC.
