1300 CS
The Watec WAT-1300/CS is an ultra-compact HD-SDI color day/night camera with a 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor and 1280 × 720 effective pixels. It provides 720p video at 60 or 50 fps through a low-delay HD-SDI interface.
Minimum illumination is 0.002 lx at F1.2 with AGC at 54 dB and the shutter off. The camera combines mechaless ICR day/night operation, WDR, digital WDR, adjustable 2D noise reduction, remote OSD control, a CS lens mount, and 5 to 12 VDC operation in a compact, lightweight design.
The Watec WAT-1300/CS is an ultra-compact HD-SDI color day/night camera designed for low-delay video integration. Its 1/3.2-inch CMOS image sensor provides 1280 × 720 effective pixels and progressive 720p video at 60 or 50 fps.
HD-SDI Video Output
The camera provides HD-SDI video through a 75-ohm MCX connection. Supported output formats are 720p at 60 fps and 720p at 50 fps, with horizontal resolution exceeding 650 TV lines at the center of the image.
High-Sensitivity Day/Night Imaging
Minimum illumination is 0.002 lx at F1.2 with AGC on at 54 dB and the shutter off. The mechaless ICR day/night system uses a dual-pass filter to support imaging across changing light conditions.
Exposure and Gain Control
Electronic iris operation extends from 1/60 to 1/100000 second for the 60 fps format and from 1/50 to 1/100000 second for the 50 fps format. Automatic gain control provides a range of 0 to 54 dB, while manual gain is adjustable from 0 to 54 dB in 6 dB steps.
Image Processing and Camera Controls
Available imaging functions include selectable WDR, digital WDR, adjustable 2D noise reduction, backlight compensation, high-brightness suppression backlight compensation, adjustable defog, sharpness control, mirror functions, and 16 privacy masks. White-balance modes include ATW, AWB, PWB, MWB, User 1, and User 2.
Remote OSD Configuration
Camera settings are accessible through the on-screen display using the optional RC-01 remote controller. The rear interface provides connections for HD-SDI video, power input, and remote control.
CS-Mount Lens Integration
The camera uses a CS lens mount and supports compatible CS-mount lenses. C-mount lenses can be attached with the optional 30CMA-R adapter.
Compact Low-Voltage Design
The camera operates from 5 to 12 VDC and consumes approximately 0.9 W. It weighs approximately 25 grams and includes a 2-pin power cable and an MCX-to-BNC video cable.
