The Sony XC-777AP is a compact color video camera module engineered for standalone operation without a separate Camera Control Unit. Built on 1/3-inch IT Hyper HAD CCD technology with complementary color mosaic filtering, it delivers 752(H) × 582(V) effective picture elements and 460 TV lines horizontal resolution. The module operates from a single 12 VDC supply (10.5 to 15V range) at 5W power consumption, enabling installation in space-constrained and outdoor environments.
Output flexibility is core to the design: simultaneous Composite Video (VBS) and Y/C outputs accommodate diverse integration scenarios. Internal and external synchronization modes, including GEN LOCK support, enable precise timing control. The NF-mount lens interface accepts C-mount adapters for optical flexibility.
Low-light performance reaches 10 lx minimum illumination at F1.2 with AGC enabled. Electronic shutter speeds range from 1/100 sec. (standard) to 1/4000 sec., with adjustable long-exposure capability spanning 2 to 512 fields. Four white balance modes—3200K, 5600K, ATW, and manual—plus automatic white balance adjustment ensure accurate color reproduction across lighting conditions. Gain control spans 0 to 12 dB in 1 dB steps with switchable pedestal adjustment.
The 22(W) × 22(H) × 30(D) mm camera head weighs 40 g and incorporates high vibration resistance. RS-232C control enables remote parameter adjustment. Operating range spans −5°C to +45°C with 20% to 80% non-condensing humidity tolerance.
