Product Description
The Marshall Electronics CV343-CS is a top - notch full - HD 3G - SDI compact broadcast POV camera. The 3rd generation CV343 - CSB/CS has made significant improvements in video performance. It uses a new 1/3 - inch high - speed sensor with 2.5 megapixels (2,476,296 pixels). This allows for clear and sharp video capture at various resolutions like 1920x1080i, 1920x1080p, 1280x720p and frame - rates of 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25 fps through full - sized 3G/HD - SDI (BNC) outputs. Its proprietary pixel technology has the lowest noise ratio on the market. It can capture sharp and vivid color images even in very low light, as low as 0.05 lux. It also has industry - leading low power consumption, especially in full 1920x1080p60/59.94/50fps modes. The camera offers flexibility with interchangeable CS/C mount varifocal lenses and maintains a broadcast standard with HD - SDI outputs. The RS485 connectivity enables remote camera control via SONY VISCA or PELCO protocols. Key features include multiple resolution and frame - rate options, a 2.5 - megapixel 1/3 - inch CMOS sensor, CS/C mount with DC - Auto Iris (lens sold separately), 3G/HD - SDI and CVBS outputs on the rear panel, low - light sensitivity down to 0.2 lux, a new WDR function for various light sources, an OSD Menu Joystick and RS - 485 connectivity, stepped gain control, and compatibility with the Marshall RCP Control Unit (p/n: CV - RCP - 100).
Using the Marshall Electronics CV343 - CS camera is quite straightforward. First, connect your preferred CS/C mount varifocal lens (sold separately) to the camera. Then, use the 3G/HD - SDI (BNC) or CVBS (BNC) cables on the rear panel to connect the camera to your recording device. You can adjust settings like gain, gamma, and shutter using the OSD Menu Joystick or through the RS - 485 connection with SONY VISCA or PELCO protocols. If you have the Marshall RCP Control Unit (p/n: CV - RCP - 100), you can use it for more convenient control. When using the camera in low - light conditions, take advantage of its excellent low - light sensitivity. Just make sure not to expose the camera to extremely high or low temperatures for long periods. For maintenance, keep the lens clean with a soft, lint - free cloth. Periodically check the connections to ensure they are secure. If you encounter any technical issues, refer to the user manual or contact Marshall Electronics support.
