Key Features:
The DXC-D50WS camera head brings high technology to the industrial camera market. The three 2/3 inch Power HAD CCD set with 1 million pixels each output over 800 lines of resolution. The ADC is a 12-bit design that ensures the captured images are processed with greater precision and less rounding off errors than 10-bit or lesser processors. The Digital Signal Processor, a 30-bit design, enables highly sophisticated image controls such as Knee Saturation and Adaptive Highlight Control. Knee Saturation works in bright conditions to reduce a washed-out effect in color saturation and hue. Adaptive highlight control provides multiple knee-points / slopes for superior over-exposure control.
Low Key Saturation
The Low Key Saturation function helps retain color and detail in low-light areas of the scene by optimizing color amplification in low-light levels. This function provides more natural color reproduction.
Cross-Color Suppression
In order to keep cross-color and cross-luminance to a minimum, the DXC-D50 virtually eliminates frequency components that may create artifacts being generated prior to the signal output. The use of a digital three-line comb filtering results in a great reduction of the cross color and dot crawl normally seen on picture monitors fed a composite signal.
Skin Tone Detail Control
DXC-D50WS allows softer detail correction to be applied in facial areas while maintaining sharpness of the other parts of the picture. The operator can quickly select the function with the Area-detector cursor in the viewfinder. The color range for the skin tone detail and skin detail level can be selected manually using the menu system.
E Z Functions
ENG operators understand the importance of making the camera operation as quick and straightforward as possible.
E Z Focus function opens the iris to reduce depth of field and makes focusing significantly easier especially in dark situations.
The E Z Mode sets key camera parameters instantly to the standard or auto position simply by pressing one button. This feature is convenient when operators require very fast camera setup within a limited time frame.
Optical Neutral Density Filters and Electronic Color Correction
Three neutral density filters are built into the DXC-D50WS for great depth of field control. 1/4 ND is good for 1.5 stops, 1/16 ND is equivalent to 4 stops, and 1/64 is equal to 6 stops down. Color correction filters are actually electronic presets instead of filters on the filter wheel. Now the range of ND filters can be used with any color temperature setting.
File operation Using Memory Stick Memory Cards
You may store and recall setup parameters for individual scenes or camera setup preferences. These parameters stored on a Memory Stick card can be transferred to another DXC-D50 or an RPC-D50 remote control unit allowing quick setup in multiple camera systems. Additionally, the files may be transmitted through your computer via email attachment and share them with cameras at remote locations.
Clear-Scan Scan Matching Function
Clear scan allows operators to shoot computer displays without the horizontal bands or flickers they usually create on screen. This is achieved by activating the Clear Scan function to select a shutter speed which then precisely matches the scanning frequency of the computer display. Shutter speeds are available ranging from 60.1Hz to 6000 Hz.
Monitor-Out Feature
The DXC-D50WS has a composite output specifically for remote monitoring applications. By connecting a monitor to this output, the same image as in the viewfinder is seen. A director or producer can see audio levels, f/stop, color temperature overlaid on the color video picture.
Time and Date Stamp
Legal videographers will appreciate the time and date stamp function. Time and date information can be overlaid on the video image in legal deposition work, security jobs or anytime this information is significant
Adapts to Different Applications and Systems
The DXC-D50WS is a versatile, adaptable camera for many industrial applications. The camera head accepts 4 different VTRs and 2 camera adapter backs.
