Dynamic Range Stretch DRS Function | Panasonic AK-HC3500 specs

14-bit A/D converter and latest 38-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP) provide clear, sharp images from dark to bright areas.

A/D conversion is 14-bit compared to conventional 12-bit. There's also a newly-developed 38-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Panasonic's original real-time gamma correction to enable high quality images with Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and other high-performance functions.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)

Function

DRS helps assure high image quality when shooting extremely contrasty scenes. It's also effective when shooting standard scenes because it avoids aliasing (knee artifacts) which can be unattractive for on-screen talent.

Before correction

After correction

When adjustment is based on dark areas, some image parts are washed out.

When the gamma curve is adjusted based on bright areas of the image, black blocking occurs.

Clear, sharp reproduction of both bright and dark areas.

Cine Gamma Curve

Thanks to its cine gamma curve, the AK-HC3500 can produce pictures with the same kind of tonal beauty, natural gradation, and rich colors you get with film recordings.

Color Correction

The 12-vector variable masking circuit allows precise and independent hue and saturation adjustment of individual colors.

* Color correction restricted to the red colors.

Skin Tone Detail Correction

Separately defocusing two skin tones helps tone down wrinkles and dull areas to produce beautiful, naturally textured results when shooting people. And since defocusing is possible throughout the entire hue phase (360°), defocusing can also be applied for colors other than skin tones.

Beautiful results with fewer wrinkles and other blemishes

Enhanced DTL Signal

Processing

Enhanced DTL signal processing ensures superb picture quality with minimal noise in horizontal and vertical directions, as well as in the image's dark and brightly lit areas.
