Equipment Required But Not Supplied 1.5 Equipment Required But Not Supplied The MC-1000WU-20A camera uses the full-frame TC215 CCD image sensor. This full-frame format sensor requires a mechanical shutter or an electronic light strobe to prevent image smear. The shutter or strobe light allows scene information to be captured during either the open time of the shutter or on-time of the strobe light. The transfer or read-out of the captured scene information is performed during the closed time of
