JVC TK-C1480E Product Guide

TK-C1480E is a high-resolution color video camera introduced by JVC. It uses a 1/2-inch EXVIEW CCD with a sensitivity of 0.8 lux (F 1.2, 50%) and 0.4 lux (F 1.2, 25%). Combined with the slow shutter function, these are increased to 0.025 lux (F 1.2, 50%) and 0.0125 lux (F 1.2, 25%), respectively. It also features JVC's newly developed DSP for clear distinction between bright and dark subjects and supports RS-422A/RS-485 communication standards for remote camera parameter setting.

About this manual

The TK-C1480E is a 1/2‑inch EXVIEW CCD camera offering high sensitivity (0.8 lux at F1.2, 50%) and a slow‑shutter mode that reaches 0.025 lux. It includes functions such as backlighting, motion detection, extended dynamic range (ExDr), and RS‑422A/RS‑485 communication for remote surveillance. The guide details the camera's imaging performance, contrast mixing, and high‑speed side‑shutter operation.

Remote control is supported via JVC's free software, which allows camera parameter adjustment over an RS‑422A interface (converted to RS‑232) and video output through a PC video card. The software provides access to ExDr/shutter settings, iris/BLC, AGC, white balance, and other image adjustments.
