More Information

New digital process LSI (ASIC) is adopted to produce high quality video including a six - axis linear matrix system for fine tuning of color to match broadcast requirements.

Low smear and high sensitivity CCD. High quality CCDs are employed to reproduce great quality pictures even under very low light condition.

+48dB Hyper Gain for very low light conditions. Hyper gain of +48dB is provided so that good video reproduction is assured even in the harshest shooting conditions.

Super V. To enhance Vertical resolution, the Super V function can be enabled, increasing Vertical Resolution by 20%, to achieve natural picture reproduction with remarkably fine resolution.

High Resolution Viewfinder. A high resolution broadcast use 1.5 inch viewfinder is employed, featuring over 600 horizontal lines resolution. Ease of operation is carefully considered, e.g. Brightness, Contrast and Peaking controls are easily accessible on the front of the viewfinder and a rear tally light is provided. The positioning of the viewfinder is easily adjustable.

DVCAM FORMAT. High Picture Quality Digital Component Recording. The DVCAM format is a digital system with Luminance signal (Y) and Color Difference signals (R-Y, B-Y).

PCM Digital Audio System. Two modes are selectable between 2ch (48kHz sampling frequency) and 4ch (32kHz sampling frequency) which may be useful for Audio After Recording (dubbing).

Long Recording Hours. Standard size cassettes have a max. 184 minutes recording time, while mini-cassettes have max. 40 minutes recording time.

Preset and Variable Shutters. The preset shutter has six speeds (1/100, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000 seconds) and variable speeds can be set between 1/60.3 and 1/787 seconds

Diagonal Detail for higher picture quality. The diagonal detail function increases sharpness in the diagonal direction. This function also helps to reduce cross color moire in NTSC.

Skin Detail for favorable reproduction. The skin detail function is used when skin quality is being emphasized. The edge sharpness of the skin tone can be softened so that wrinkles or age lines become less visible on the TV screen. AHD, Auto Hue Detect, for easy setting of Skin tone detail is employed.

Soft Detail Function. To ensure picture uniformity even with high contrast areas, Soft Detail is employed to produce images that are more natural, without excessive adge enhancement.

Variable Detail Settings. 8 step variable frequency boost of the detail signal and B/W balance function which controls center luminance level of detail signal are provided to have better detail effects depending on the subject. 2.97MHz to 6.84MHz at 4:3 mode, 3.24MHz to 9.00MHz at 16:9 mode

Various GAMMA settings. Not only are 4 types of GAMMA characteristics selectable (OFF/0.35/0.4 /0.45), but a GAMMA curve pattern with x5 initial gain is also selectable for certain broadcast requirement.

With three settings (3, 5 and 7%), this function enables improvement in dark areas in the picture by lifting the image level of only low brightness areas.

Shock-less Auto White Balance. To avoid a sudden change in white balance when switching between white balance memories, change over time is selectable. This function exhibits superb results when the scene changes from an indoor to outdoor shot or vice versa.

OFF: Changes Memory Data instantly
ON - 0.3s : Changes Memory Data in 0.3 seconds.
ON - 0.5s : Changes Memory Data in 0.5 seconds.
ON - 1.0s : Changes Memory Data in 1.0 seconds.
ON - 1.5s : Changes Memory Data in 1.5 seconds.
ON - 2.0s : Changes Memory Data in 2.0 seconds.

Convenient filter linked White Balance. The camera has a total of 8 AWB memory presets, A/B channel for each filter. The AWB is linked to the filter and automatically changes the white balance when the filter changes.

OFF: 2 memories on A and B
ON - POS: 2 memories, A and B for each filter
(8 ch for 3000K, 5600K + 1/16ND, 5600K, 5600K+1/64ND)
ON - TEMP: 2 memories, A and B for each color temperature of 3000K and 5600K.
Also, when setting the AWB, the Zebra indicator appears to show the white area being used by the AWB system. If it doesn't work (NG - No Good), the viewfinder indicates if the color temp was too high or too low (H. TEMP or L. TEMP.)
