DCC
Dynamic Contrast Control. Also called automatic knee. A video camera containing a DCC circuit can handle a wide dynamic range of luminance by automatically varying the knee point and knee slope.
Drop frame mode
To eliminate the discrepancy between the actual time and the time code value generated by the time code generator when the format of the camcorder is set to either 29.97 Psf or 59.94 I, drop frame mode drops two frames (frames 00 and 01) from the time code value at the beginning of each minute except every tenth minute.
