Features on the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL

The DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL is a 16:9 wide-screen type (4:3-16:9 switchable) digital video camera while the DXC-D35/D35P is a 4:3 standard-screen type digital video camera. Common features on both types are described in this section. See also “Features on the DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL” ( page 12) for using the DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL.

2/3-inch IT type Power HAD (WS) CCD

The DXC-D35/D35P Color Video Camera uses 2/3- inch IT type Power HAD CCDs. (For the DXC- D35WSL/D35WSPL, Power HAD WS CCDs are used. ) It outperforms most of the exiting FIT type CCD cameras for high-end use, in both picture quality and sensitivity.

•Smear: –125 dB (DXC-D35/D35P) or –120 dB (DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL)

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

•S/N: 63 dB (DXC-D35/D35WSL) or 61 dB (DXC- D35P/D35WSPL)

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 (see page 45).

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-D35/D35P/D35WSL/ D35WSPL 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-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL 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-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL 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.
