Features

The DXC-9100P is a color video camera with an 1/2-inch, three-chip Progressive Scan CCD1).

The CCD uses an “all pixels read-out” method, which enables the CCD to output all pixel signals in 1/50 sec. This allows the unit to capture blur-free, clear images of fast- moving objects without a mechanical shutter.

High quality image

The DXC-9100P produces high quality images thanks to its 1/2inch, three-chip CCD containing some 460,000 effective picture elements (pixels). The camera has four features that ensure high image quality:

•High horizontal resolution: 800 TV lines

•High sensitivity (defined as minimum required illumination): 2,000 lux at F5.6

•High signal-to-noise ratio: 57 dB

•Low smear

Square pixels

The unit uses pixels which have the same pitch horizontally and vertically, namely 8.3µm ⋅ 8.3µm, to make a square pixel. Because the pixels are geometrically the same in both directions, you do not need to adjust the aspect ratio when using with a computer, image processor, etc. This function is very helpful when using the camera for image processing. This is also useful for image composition by inputting the signals to a computer.

N.I (non-interlaced) mode

An output of 50 frames of non-interlaced signals per seconds allows you to connect the unit to a multi-scan monitor or multi-scan printer which requires signals to be processed at high-speed.

However, connection with some multi-scan monitors may not be possible because of their input specifications. When in doubt, contact your authorized Sony dealer.
