Features

Thank you for purchasing the

DZ-VCA1SE MICRO HD CAMERA.

●Compact, lightweight design

Thanks to the incorporation of 1/3-inch CCDs, the camera head's outer dimensions have been reduced to a compact 59 (W) x 70 (H) x 79 (D) mm and its weight to only 230 g.

(1/3 the volume and 1/6 the weight of an ordinary HD camera) The CCU (camera control unit) can be mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch rack (2-unit size).

●High resolution

A total of four NTSC 1/3-inch CCDs are used (2 for G and one each for R and B). Utilizing a newly-devel- oped 4-CCD dual green system and digital signal processing, this camera is able to produce extremely high horizontal resolution of more than 800 TV lines and vertical resolution of more than 650 TV lines (approx. twice that of NTSC). The aspect ratio is 4:3.

●System construction

HDTV studio standard (compliant with ITU-R Rec. 709) sync signals are used, allowing recorded picture to be played back with high picture quality when an HDTV VCR such as the W-VHS VCR is used.

A cost-effective, high-picture-quality system can be configured using a multi-scan computer monitor.

●Automatic sensitivity control

The automatic sensitivity control combines automatic sensitivity control with ALC and electronic iris (ALC + EEI) to allow trouble-free shooting under lighting conditions ranging from low to high intensity.

●Electronic shutter function

A built-in 1/2000-sec. electronic shutter function allows capture and analysis of fast-moving subjects.

●Flicker-free mode

Greatly reduces the flickering caused by shooting under a fluorescent lamp in locations using 50-Hz cycles.

●Colour bar generator

A full colour bar generator is built in for easy system adjustment.

●Switchable positive/negative signal Signals can be inverted with a switch, allowing conversion of a negative film to a positive picture.

●Automatic internal/external sync switching Useful for systematic operations, such as multi- camera video processing, in combination with other devices.

●2H contour provided as standard

Contour compensation is performed both horizontally and vertically to assure sharp, clear pictures.

•JVC cannot be responsible for any loss or damage to recorded material in the event that the colour video camera, VCR, or video cassette malfunctions during recording.
