Product Overview

The TDK RF Solutions VC-04 Color Video Camera is a high performance CCD specifically designed for remote monitoring of equipment under EMC testing. The camera is also ideal for wide angle anechoic chamber monitoring, shielded access control, and test action archiving.

Designed for EMC Testing The VC-04 is designed to operate in the harsh environments required by EMC testing. The camera is housed in an EMI hardened protective case, and the control and video signals use fiber optics to prevent interference caused by high electromagnetic fields present during EMC testing.

Full-Featured The high-resolution VC-04 is remotely focused, positioned, and zoomed using the TDK SI-300CC controller. The camera is available in both NTSC and PAL versions.
