Features

 

2/3-inch IT type Power HAD CCD

 

 

The DXC-D30/D30P Color Video Camera uses 2/3-

 

 

 

 

 

inch IT type Power HAD CCDs. It outperforms most

 

 

 

Chapter

of the exiting FIT type CCD cameras for high-end use,

in both picture quality and sensitivity.

• Smear: –125 dB

• Sensitivity: F11.0 (at 3200 K, 2000 lux)

Overview

• S/N: 63 dB (DXC-D30) or 61 dB (DXC-D30P)

 

 

Sophisticated image processing

 

TruEye™ processing makes possible the following

 

performance features. This new digital signal

 

processing has brought reproduction of natural colors

 

to the level achieved by the human eye.

 

DynaLatitude™

 

Enables detailed adjustment of contrast control in each

 

pixel in accordance with a histogram of luminance

 

signal levels.

 

DCC+ (dynamic contrast control plus)

 

Prevents white breakup when shooting a high intensity

 

subject, and also prevents color faults in high intensity

 

subject.

 

Black stretch and compress

 

Enables control of luminance signal levels in black

 

areas without changing the hue.

Variety of detail corrections

Skin detail function: this function gives a slightly softer appearance to the subject’s face. The target skin color can be automatically set.

Black halo correction

Red/green vertical detail correction: this function performs vertical detail compensation for both red and green signals.

Horizontal detail frequency control

Recording and managing setup data

In addition to the setup menu that is displayed in the viewfinder screen, the DXC-D30/D30P is equipped with the following functions to facilitate camera head setup.

Setup file system

You can use setup files when making adjustments or settings. The DXC-D30/D30P comes with factory preset files that contain shipped settings and you can freely create user files as well.

Automatic recording of setup data (when using DSR-1/1P)

When the DXC-D30/D30P is connected to the DSR-1/ 1P VTR, two types of setup data can be recorded.

SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few seconds. This recorded data can then be used to reproduce the same shooting conditions in subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to identify the causes of problems in previous shots.

SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to other camera heads so that the same setup can be shared among several camera heads.

ClipLink™ Function (when using DSR- 1/1P)

The ClipLink function can be used at every step from acquisition to editing. Information necessary for editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and efficient editing operations.

When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the video image at that point is recorded on the tape in compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with other editing point data (such as the cassette number and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that only the good scenes are taken up from cassette

Dockable with various types of VTRs

The DXC-D30/D30P docks with the DSR-1/1P DVCAM VTR to configure the DSR-130/130P digital camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam SP VTR to configure the PVW-D30/D30P Betacam SP camcorder. In addition, the DXC-D30/D30P docks with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.

New Functions boost operability

EZ (easy) mode function

When there isn’t time to check the camera head settings, simply press the EZ mode button to start the auto adjustment function using standard settings. There is no need to lose a shot for lack of setup time.

EZ (easy) focus

Press the EZ focus button before shooting to ensure a quick and accurate focus.

Programmable gain

The amount of gain relative to the GAIN switch setting (H, M, or L) can be programmed as –3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 18 dB+DPR1), 24 dB, 24 dB+DPR and hyper gain.

Hyper gain

Hyper gain (36 dB, or about 60 times greater than

0 dB) can be easily set via one switch setting. This can also be done from remote equipment.

Auto tracing white balance

This function automatically traces the white balance, which constantly changes as lighting conditions change. Auto tracing white balance is especially useful when there is no time to manually adjust the white balance or when shooting moves between indoor and outdoor locations.

Intensified auto iris control

In addition to the standard auto iris, the intelligent auto iris function adjusts the lens iris to compensate back lighting or spot lighting.

Total level control system (TLCS)

Even if the incoming light exceeds the range in which the standard auto iris can control exposure, the auto gain control (AGC) or auto exposure (AE) backs up to ensure proper exposure.

Dual pixel readout (DPR)

When the gain is set to either 18 dB or 24 dB, the gain setting can be doubled (6 dB up) without increasing the noise level.

Recording time display

Recording time can be displayed in either of the following modes.

Total recording time for all cuts

Total recording time for current cut

Viewfinder super detail

Video signals for the viewfinder are mixed with V- DTL signals to make focusing easier.

Dual zebra pattern display

Two types of zebra patterns, zebra 1 and zebra 2 can be displayed simultaneously or independently. The zebra 1 can be set to the levels ranging from 70 to 90 IRE on the DXC-D30 (or from 70 to 90% on the DXC- D30P) and the zebra 2 indicates the levels of 100 IRE for the DXC-D30 or more (or the levels of 100% or more for the DXC-D30P).

Color temperature display

When reading the white balance, the color temperature is displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Video monitor output with text

The video signal with text superimposed that is shown in the viewfinder can also be output to an external video monitor.

Camera head microphone output indicator

An indication ³ appears in the viewfinder whenever a signal is being output from the camera head’s microphone.

1-kHz reference signal output

Along with a color bar, a 1-kHz reference signal can also be output.
