 Evolutional Digital Processing
Using advanced digital signal processing ICs, precision designed at 0.18 micro-meter rule, the video signals are digitized with 12-bit A/D conversion and up to 38-bit internal digital processing. Full digital processing by integrated circuits ensures stable and repeatable high-quality pictures with very low power consumption of 10W. And also High S/N ratios of 67dB for NTSC and 65dB for PAL are achieved. Superb high-quality pictures, with excellent S/N ratio, are obtained during all operating conditions since processing such as white shading, gamma and DTL are all performed digitally. The color reproduction in low light areas is greatly improved thanks to 12-bit A/D conversion.
AIT CCD
Newly developed AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCDs offer high sensitivity of f11 and very low smear level of -135dB. This CCD achieves a high resolution of 750 TV lines.
Smart. Light-Weight and User Friendly
The camera is ergonomically designed with a low center of gravity for stable on-shoulder camera work, with good side viewing, and is overall user friendly. The Shoulder Pad is made of non-slip material. The camera is very light weight, just 2.3 kg (5.11 lbs). (excluding viewfinder and microphone)
Wide Sensitivity Range Including Hyper Gain
With a wide sensitivity range and ten (10) gain settings, the operating range is greatly extended. The Hyper Gain of +48dB allows a minimum illumination of 0.12 lx. Furthermore, the sensitivity can be increased up to 120 times by CCD charge accumulation over longer than standard 1/60 second, for special operation in the dark. (option).
Universal Color Control
This color correction function gives the operator subjective control of hue and saturation of the six color vectors, without disturbing the linear matrix set up. A unique addition to the system is auto detection (AHD) for two specific colors chosen by the operator. After selecting, the hue, saturation, and luminance level of the custom colors is under operator control.
Variety of DTL Function
A variety of DTL functions including New Slim DTL for thinner details edge, New Skin DTL, Soft DTL for more natural picture, Diagonal DTL for cross color suppression and moire, Variable 8-step boost frequency for horizontal edge, and H/V balance control are incorporated.
New Skin DTL on Color DTL
The conventional Skin DTL function reduces DTL added to skin tone. The New Skin DTL feature also reduces the high frequency element of skin tone to further soften the complexion of the talent. A second system permits a decrease or increase of DTL in color of user's choice. For example, besides the correction of skin tone, the background color behind the face can be changed in sharpness.
Super KNEE System
The color reproduction in high luminance areas is improved since the high luminance signal is digitally processed with a super KNEE System after it is reconverted to a linear signal. This system retains the color in the highlight area where it is washed out in conventional cameras.
Black Stretch and Black Press Control
The Black Stretch function meets the needs of the professional who wants to avoid excessive dark areas in high contrast scenes. This function enables improvement the saturation in dark or shadow areas of the subject by raising the image level by 3%, 5% or 7% only for low-brightness portions. The Black Press provides for variable enhancement of the brighter areas of the image by suppressing gain in blacks by -7%, -5% or -3%. It can add contrast to a washed out picture.
P .FUNC (Personal Function) Switch
P .FUNC switch is provides for the most frequently used functions for operator convenience, such as IRIS Correction, Black Press and Black Stretch.
Memory Card Function (SmartMedia*)
Camera operating conditions can be stored into a memory card. Camera setup is greatly simplified by loading the data stored in the memory card. SmartMedia* can be used as the memory card.
