          Tech Tips

  4. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Rear Television Camera Assembly


      1. The rear television camera assembly consists of a wide-angle lens and a Charge Coupled Device (CCD).

      2. An image captured by the rear view television camera lens is converted into electrical signals in accordance with the light intensity by using the CCD image element, and the signals are then output to the radio and display receiver assembly.

      3. The image output from the rear television camera assembly is reversed to match the rear view seen from the inside rear view mirror. Therefore, the view actually seen is displayed on the screen in the horizontal reverse.
