1300 G3.6
Ready-to-integrate HD-SDI imaging in an ultra-compact package. The Watec WAT-1300 (G3.6) combines a 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor, an integrated 3.6 mm miniature lens, and smooth 720p video at 60 or 50 fps for embedded equipment, production monitoring, and other space-sensitive systems requiring dependable real-time imaging.
With 1280 × 720 effective pixels, the camera delivers progressive color day/night video through HD-SDI. Minimum illumination is 0.006 lx at F2.0 with AGC at 54 dB and the shutter off. Mecha-less ICR day/night operation, WDR, digital WDR, adjustable 2D noise reduction, remote OSD control, and flexible 5 to 12 VDC power provide the imaging control and installation versatility needed for continuous operation under changing light conditions.
The Watec WAT-1300 (G3.6) 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 0.006 lx at F2.0 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-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.
Integrated Miniature Lens
The standard M3620BC-12 miniature lens provides a 3.6 mm focal length and F2.0 aperture. The M12 P=0.5 lens mount also supports other compatible miniature lenses.
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.
Compact Low-Voltage Design
The camera operates from 5 to 12 VDC and consumes approximately 0.9 W. It weighs approximately 35 grams and includes a 300 mm 2-pin power cable and an MCX-to-BNC video cable.
