	Features
	ClipLink™ Function (when using DSR-
	1/1P)
	The ClipLink function can be used at every step from
Chapter	acquisition to editing. Information necessary for
	editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and
1	efficient editing operations.
	When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when
Overview
	you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the
	video image at that point is recorded on the tape in
	compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the
	time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark
	OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with
	other editing point data (such as the cassette number
	and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink
	log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can
	also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that
	only the good scenes are taken up from cassette
	memory when editing.
	Dockable with various types of VTRs
	The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL docks with
	the DSR-1/1P DVCAM VTR to configure a digital
	camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam
	SP VTR to configure a Betacam SP camcorder. In
	addition, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL
	docks with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an
	adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a
	variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.
	New Functions boost operability
	EZ (easy) mode function
	When there isn’t time to check the camera head
	settings, simply press the EZ mode button to start the
	auto adjustment function using standard settings.
	There is no need to lose a shot for lack of setup time.
	EZ (easy) focus
	Press the EZ focus button before shooting to ensure a
	quick and accurate focus.

Programmable gain

The amount of gain relative to the GAIN switch setting (H, M, or L) can be programmed as –3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 18 dB+DPR1), 24 dB,

24 dB+DPR and hyper gain.

Hyper gain

Hyper gain (36 dB or 42dB, i.e. about 60 times or 120 times greater than

0 dB) can be easily set via one switch setting. This can also be done from remote equipment.

Auto tracing white balance

This function automatically traces the white balance, which constantly changes as lighting conditions change. Auto tracing white balance is especially useful when there is no time to manually adjust the white balance or when shooting moves between indoor and outdoor locations.

Total level control system (TLCS)

Even if the incoming light exceeds the range in which the standard auto iris can control exposure, the auto gain control (AGC) or auto exposure (AE) backs up to ensure proper exposure.

Dual pixel readout (DPR)

When the gain is set to either 18 dB or 24 dB, the gain setting can be doubled (6 dB up) without increasing the noise level.

Recording time display

Recording time can be displayed in either of the following modes.

•Total recording time for all cuts

•Total recording time for current cut

Viewfinder super detail

Video signals for the viewfinder are mixed with DTL signals to make focusing easier.

Dual zebra pattern display

Two types of zebra patterns, zebra 1 and zebra 2 can be displayed simultaneously or independently. The zebra 1 can be set to the levels ranging from 70 to 90 IRE on the DXC-D35/D35WSL (or from 70 to 90% on the DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) and the zebra 2 indicates the levels of 100 IRE for the DXC-D35/D35WSL or more (or the levels of 100% or more for the DXC- D35P/D35WSPL).

Color temperature display

When reading the white balance, the color temperature is displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Switching the color temperatures for the preset white balance

You can select the preset white balance at 3200 K (default) or 5600 K (default) by setting the FILTER control. The preset white balance can be changed to other value through menu setting (see page 59).

Video monitor output with text

The video signal with text superimposed that is shown in the viewfinder can also be output to an external video monitor.

Camera head microphone output indicator

An indication 9 appears in the viewfinder whenever a signal is being output from the camera head’s microphone.

1-kHz reference signal output

Along with a color bar, a 1-kHz reference signal can also be output.

Freeze mix function (when using DSR-1/1P) The freeze mix function superimposes any previously recorded still picture on the viewfinder screen to facilitate framing the subject when reshooting the scene.

Edit Search Function (when using DSR-1/1P) When using the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL with the DSR-1/1P, pressing the EDIT SEARCH buttons allow the tape to play back in search mode. Set either of two playback speeds.

Designed for ease of operation

Dynafit Pad

Thanks to the Dynafit Pad which fits well to the shoulder, the camera is stable on the shoulder.

Slide cover

The slide cover can hide the switches and buttons that are seldom used during shooting. The cover can be locked so as not to open during shooting.

High-performance viewfinder (DXF-801/ 801CE)

•High resolution (600 TV lines of horizontal resolution)

•Large-diameter eye cup for easier viewing and focusing

•PEAKING potentiometer for vertical and horizontal detail control

•Two indicators can be used as TALLY indicators.

•Tough die-cast aluminum body

•DISPLAY switch that can turn the character display on and off

•Light that can light the lens control elements

•Switching the aspect ratio automatically between 16:9 (wide screen) and 4:3 (standard screen) when used with the DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL

VTR data display

When connected to a VTR, the DXC-D35/D35P/ D35WSL/D35WSPL is able to display the following data on the viewfinder screen.

•Time values (counter, time code, or user bit vales)

•VTR audio levels

•Remaining tape time

•VTR operation mode

•Remaining battery capacity (when using an Anton Bauer Intelligent Battery System)

•ClipLink information (when using the DSR-1/1P)
