High-quality images

•The high density 1/2 type, three-chip Exwave HADTM* CCD**, containing some 380,000 (DXC-990) or 430,000 (DXC-990P) effective picture elements (pixels), offers superior picture quality: 850 TV lines of high horizontal resolution, high sensitivity of F11 at 2,000 lx, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 63 dB (DXC-990) or 62 dB (DXC-990P) and a low smear level.

•The adoption of the LSI digital signal processing technology reproduces a finer, more detailed picture.

•DynaLatitude processing enables you to adjust contrast finely according to the luminance signal level of each picture element.

•The DCC+ (Dynamic Contrast Control plus) function minimizes the phenomena whereby the whole screen turns white or a part of the image becomes colorless when shooting a very bright object.

•The Partial Enhance function enables you to adjust the sharpness and tint of only a specified color.

Wide range of electronic shutter modes

The wide range of speeds for the electronic shutter minimizes blurring in fast-moving objects and produces acceptably bright still images of objects shot in poor light.

•Flickerless mode: This mode allows you to obtain flickerless images shot even under fluorescent light.

•Clear scan mode: This mode reduces horizontal bands appearing in computer displays when shooting the display with the conventional video camera.

Versatile use with external equipment

•The video camera is equipped with four types of outputs: composite, Y/C, RGB and component outputs. The camera offers a high-quality picture on a connected monitor or VCR.

•The camera can be remotely controlled with the RM-C950 remote control unit (not supplied).

RS-232C interface

The camera can be controlled from a computer via the RS-232C interface.
