FEATURES
DURABLE AND DEPENDABLE
The MS-500 is built to be used for specialist long distance monitoring under challenging conditions and can operate around the clock in temperatures ranging from -20oC to 45oC.
B4 LENS MOUNT FOR EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY
Use Canon’s extensive range of broadcast lenses, which excel at super-telephoto image capturing. Achieve a reach of over 2400mm focal length (35mm equivalent).
LONG RANGE COLOUR MONITORING, DAY OR NIGHT
Accurately monitor long range subjects with 2/3” broadcast lenses for greater telephoto reach. The combination of B4 mount, built-in 1.3x Optical magnifier and 1-inch type SPAD sensor enable accurate monitoring of long-distance subjects in colour whether in good light, or darkness.
MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC REMOVABLE IR CUT FILTER
Control the IR cut filter automatically or manually to acquire extra IR light when shooting after dark.
REMOTE OPERATION MADE EASY
Operate the camera remotely using either the Pelco-D protocol or Canon’s proprietary NU protocol.
HIGH SENSITIVITY 2.1MP SPAD SENSOR
When a photon strikes the sensor, an electron is generated, this triggers a chain reaction or "avalanche" of electron production. This photon is converted to an electric charge, the SPAD sensor then amplifies the charge by a million times with a phenomenon called the 'avalanche multiplication', causing a large current to flow instantaneously.
This large current is read out as a voltage signal in the form of a train of pulses corresponding to individual photons. This SPAD sensor's unique light sensing technology can achieve incredible low-light performance.
