View remote objects at distances up several miles using the Canon MS-500 Ultrahigh-Sensitivity Camera. The MS-500 is built around a 1" 32MP ultrahigh-sensitivity SPAD (Single-Photon Avalanche Diode) sensor that uses photon counting to accurately detect light with less noise than CMOS sensors. This color camera has a B4 mount for using ultra-telephoto 2/3" broadcast lenses to capture images day or night. It supports video resolutions up to 1080p60 and supports both NTSC and PAL broadcast frame rates using a single 3G-HD/SDI output.
