SONY DXC-D50WS

Combining superior picture quality with operational convenience, Sony's DXC-D50 camera offers what every industrial and professional producer / director / operator requires for day to day shooting. The DXC-D50H is the standard camera for conventional 4:3 aspect projects. It uses 3 Power HAD IT chips with 1 million pixels per chip for better video under the harshest lighting conditions. If you factor in the adaptability to multi-core and triax systems, the DXC-D50 provides an ideal solution for ENG, EFP, and small studio operations at an affordable price. This is a Triax package that includes Triax camera back, Triax base station, remote panel with joystick iris controller and a 5-inch studio viewfinder.

Superior Processing Power and Image Control

The DXC-D50 camera head brings high technology to the industrial camera market.

• The 3 2/3 inch Power HAD CCDs with 1 million pixels each output over 900 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 and 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 all throughout the scene.

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-D50 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.

• The E Z Focus function opens the iris to allow maximum light in 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 operation with no time for set-up.

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

The Clear Scan function allows the professional shooter to shoot scenes with monitors and televisions with no rolling or thick raster-bar images.  The function is accessed through the menu system.

Monitor-Out Function

The DXC-D50 has a composite output specifically for remote monitoring applications. By connecting a monitor to this output, the viewfinder image with audio levels, battery duration and menu selections can be seen in on a larger screen.

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.
