Power HAD WS™ CCD
The DXC-D30WS is equipped with three chips of newly
developed 2/3-inch Power HAD WS IT CCDs with a high
packing density of 520,000 pixels (total)/ 480,000 pixels
(effective). Since the CCD is designed for the 16:9 aspect
ratio, with a capability to be switched to 4:3, high quality
images can be obtained in the 16:9 mode without any image
loss. High sensitivity of F11 (at 2000 lx, 3200K), remarkable
signal to noise ratio of 63dB and a virtually invisible smear
level of -120dB are achieved.
16:9 and 4:3 Switchable
Thanks to the adoption of the new wide aspect CCDs and
digital signal processing, the DXC-D30WS can operate in both
16:9 widescreen and conventional 4:3 mode without any
additional conversion equipment.
16:9 ID Pulse
When shooting 16:9 images, the DXC-D30WS automatically
adds a wide aspect ID pulse signal, which indicates that the
picture is shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, on the video output signal
from the camera VBS OUT, MONITOR OUT and 50-pin/76-pin
interface. The 16:9 aspect ratio picture shot by the
DXC-D30WS can be recorded and played back with Sony
DSR-1/30/60/80/85 DVCAM Players/Recorders, SVO-5800
V-VHS Recorder, SVP-5600 S-VHS Player and all types of
UVW/PVW Players/Recorders.
Selectable Preset White Balance
The color temperature of the preset white balance can be
switched to conventional 3200K or 3000K. This makes it
possible for the DXC-D30WS to capture natural color
reproduction even under a low color temperature lighting
condition.
DXF-701WS
The DXF-701WS is a new 1.5-inch black and white
viewfinder developed for the DXC-D30WS, with the
following features. The DXF-701WS can also be used
with the DXC-D30 in the 4:3 mode.
■ Aspect Ratio Adjustment
With the DXF-701WS, the viewfinder scanning size can be
switched into AUTO or FULL, using the viewfinder control
menu. In AUTO mode, viewfinder scanning size is
automatically changed according to the camera aspect ratio
(4:3 or 16:9), as shown in (A) and (B). In FULL mode, the
image is displayed using the full size of the screen. This
means that the 16:9 image in FULL mode is vertically enlarged
as (C) shows, while the 4:3 image in FULL mode is the same
as AUTO mode (A). As a result, the shape in the 16:9 picture
captured in FULL mode is not exactly the same as what it
should be, but the use of the whole screen in FULL mode
provides greater viewing comfort.
In addition to the features described
previously, the DXC-D30WS has the
following features.

■ V/H Detail Control
Both vertical and horizontal detail levels can be variably
adjusted by the PEAKING potentiometer on the viewfinder
body, while monitoring the ratio of both detail levels.
■ Two Red REC Tally Lamps
In addition to the standard REC tally above the viewfinder
screen, another REC tally is located below the screen to
prevent overlooking the REC tally indication. This second tally
lamp is ON/OFF switchable through the ADVANCED MENU.
■ TAKE Tally Lamp
The DXF-701WS also has a TAKE tally lamp for use with the
ClipLink system. The TAKE tally can also be used as a second
tally lamp for CCU operations.
■ Reliable and Ergonomic Design
A diecast aluminum body makes the DXF-701WS extremely
durable. The viewfinder’s position can be adjusted in a broad
horizontal plane according to the operator’s preference. The
large diameter eye cup not only provides greater comfort but
also simplifies focusing. A wide range of diopter adjustments
(-3 to 0) is provided to compensate for differences in eyesight.
