2200 Mk2
Professional Full HD imaging with the speed, sensitivity, and connectivity demanding systems require. The Watec WAT-2200 Mk-2 delivers 1080p video at up to 60 fps for real-time surveillance, machine vision, monitoring, and live-production applications. Its combination of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-VLC, and composite outputs also supports integration across modern and legacy video environments.
A 1/2.8-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor with 1945 × 1097 effective pixels achieves minimum illumination of 0.006 lx at F1.2 with AGC High at 72 dB and the shutter off, extending to 0.0004 lx with a ×15 shutter. WDR, digital WDR, 2D/3D noise reduction, digital zoom, RS-232 control, DC auto-iris support, and a back-focus-adjustable CS mount give imaging professionals the control needed for precise performance in challenging conditions.

Multiple HD and Analog Video Outputs
The camera provides 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-VLC, and composite video outputs. Supported HD formats include 1080p, 1080i, and 720p at multiple frame rates. NTSC and PAL composite output formats are also available.
High-Sensitivity Imaging
Minimum illumination is 0.006 lx at F1.2 with AGC High at 72 dB and the shutter off. Minimum illumination extends to 0.0004 lx at F1.2 with AGC High at 72 dB and a ×15 shutter setting.
Exposure and Gain Control
Electronic exposure extends from ×15 slow shutter to 1/10000 second. Automatic gain control provides a range of 0 to 72 dB, while manual gain is adjustable from 0 to 72 dB in 5 dB steps. Fixed slow-shutter settings range from ×2 through ×15 frames.
Image Processing and Camera Controls
Available functions include selectable WDR, digital WDR, 2D noise reduction, 3D noise reduction, combined 3D and 2D noise reduction, backlight compensation, HSBLC, white-blemish correction, adjustable sharpness, defog, digital zoom, pan and tilt positioning, eight privacy masks, image mirroring, freeze, negative image, and four configurable motion-detection areas.
Remote and Serial Control
Camera settings are accessible through the on-screen display using the included RC-02 remote controller. RS-232 control supports Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and VISCA communication.
Lens and System Integration
The back-focus-adjustable CS mount supports compatible CS-mount lenses. A DC auto-iris connection is provided for compatible auto-iris lenses. Video connections include a BNC connector for 3G-SDI and HD-SDI output and a 2-pin connector for composite video.
Power and Construction
The camera operates from 12 VDC ±10% and consumes approximately 2.4 W at 210 mA. The housing measures 48 × 48 mm, and the camera weighs approximately 125 grams.
