high-end, professional, and reliable, and presents the sense of an HD
videoconferencing system to a great extent. The base is an extension of the main
body, and also a combination of geometrical forms. The base looks thick and heavy,
professional, high-end, and reliable. It enhances the product image of the HD
videoconferencing system. The base is also an important distinctive feature of the
product.
3.2 Superior Video Quality
The VPC500 has a 1/3-inch HD CMOS image sensor, with up to 2 mega effective
pixels. It provides images with superior definitions and resolutions. It can provide
ultra HD videos in international standard formats, namely, 1080P25 and 1080P30
formats. In addition, it supports the HD videos of the 720P50 and 720P60 formats
to meet the requirements for different HD videoconferencing applications, and
provides professional videoconference images. The VPC500 provides the real
superior dynamic image quality and can give you an unprecedented video
experience.
3.3 Powerful Video Noise Reduction
The VPC500 has the powerful light adaptation capability. Compared with other HD
video cameras in the industry, the VPC500 has excellent video effects. Especially
in low illumination, with the HD technology of Huawei and the 3D video filter
solution, the VPC500 can reduce the noises generated by the sensor. Thus, images
are clearer and more natural, and the image colors are restored accurately. The
VPC500 provides real and vivid video effects and can give you an amazing video
experience.

3.4 Optimum 3-in-1 Automatic Adjustment
The VPC500 adopts a user-friendly design and implements intelligent processing
of images. It provides the AWB, AE, and AF functions. With the completely
automatic functions, the VPC500 is easy to use. The VPC500 can realize the
optimal image effects and implement optimum 3-in-1 automatic adjustment.
3.5 Powerful PTZ Mechanism
The VPC500 is equipped with a new electrically controlled cradle head. It features
fast movement, highly accurate location, and wide capture range, and is stable
during fast movement. The VPC500 provides a maximum panning speed of 85
degrees/second and a maximum panning range of 200 degrees 100 degrees, and
the panning of 200 degrees can be completed within 2.3 seconds. It also provides a
maximum tilting speed of 26 degrees/second and a maximum tilting range of 50
degrees 25 degrees, and the tilting range of 50 degrees can be covered within 1.9
seconds. The VPC500 implements the powerful pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) mechanism.
3.6 Lossless Multi-Interface Transmission
The VPC500 provides two output interfaces (HD-SDI and DVI-I). The DVI-I
interface also supports DVI digital HD output and YPrPb analog HD output. The
output interfaces are compatible with the 1080P30, 1080P25, 720P60, and 720P50
image formats.
The HD-SDI interface can be used to transmit ultra HD images over a long
distance and with high quality. The image quality is not deteriorated. This
facilitates the video capture of a remote camera and saves the cost.
3.7 12x Optical
The VPC500 has a fast and stable AF lens with high performance, and supports
12x zoom operations to facilitate remote video capture. It is applicable for large
conference rooms. Remote views can be located easily, thus reflecting exquisite
effects over ultra long distances.
3.8 Six Preset Positions
The camera parameters of the VPC500 can be preset, such as the PTZ position,
focus position, exposure mode, and WB. The originally stored data can be restored
easily through preset positions even if the camera is closed. A maximum of six
preset positions can be provided, thus facilitating the fast switching of video
images in different scenarios during a conference and improving the response
speed of the camera to a great extent.
