12-bit A/D Converter
Employing an advanced 12-bit A/D converter ensures improved
contrast in low light luminance portions of the image. Knee
expansion circuitry incorporated at the first stage of the digital
processing restores linearity in high luminance areas which is lost
in the in the pre-knee process. Through this technology, linear
signal processing at 600% is achieved in the digital processing,
resulting in improved signal characteristics, including knee and
flare.
■
Adaptive Auto Knee
In addition to the conventional auto knee circuit that varies the
slope of the knee according to the degree of over exposure, the
DNS-33W includes an adaptive auto knee that adapts both the
point and slope of the knee to give improved contrast in the
highlight area. The adaptive auto knee has five different pivot
points, selected by the menu, so that operator can optimize the
performance according to the application.
■
Super-Knee
This function retains color in high light areas where it typically
looses saturation in knee circuit. The Super Knee circuit uses the
600% dynamic range in digital to recover the color saturation.
■
4ch Audio
4ch audio recording is available. Sampling frequency can be set at
44.1KHz or 48KHz. Audio input from front MIC, rear audio
inputs(2inputs) or Unislot(RF Receiver) can be assigned to each
channel.
■
Touch Control 3.5inch Color LCD
The 3.5 inch color LCD panel can display recording status
information, accesses menus pertaining to camcorder recording,
or display camera output / playback video. Display mode and
settings can be changed with touch panel operation.
■
Hyper Gain
Hyper-gain up to +48dB allows minimum illumination of just
0.03lux(F1.4 with 50% video level).
■
Digital Process
A newly developed digital processing ASIC
is employed, which handles almost all of
the signal processing. Designed at
0.18micron rule, the ASIC quantizes video
signals with up to 38 bits for internal
processing. Full digital processing after
pre-knee ensures stable and reliable
picture quality. Circuitry that has in previous generation DSP
cameras been analog, such as white balance and white shading,
is now digitized, to deliver the highest quality video with excellent
S/N in all modes of operation. The digital ENC circuit, which is built
into this chip, provides stable composite video from the camera
head.
■
D-Tap Connector
A D-Tap connector for powering a
light is located at the inside of the
front of the handle. This eliminates
the need to run a power cable to
the battery bracket. Light control
can be synchronized to REC
control of camera.
■
1.5" Viewfinder with
slide mechanism
Equipped with a high performance
viewfinder of 600TVL horizontal
resolution, the viewfinder can be moved
back and forth / right and left by means
of an innovative sliding system. In
addition to conventional locations, the
viewfinder has a rear tally light on the
backside for easy taking confirmation at
various shooting angles.
■
S/N 66dB (Typical)
Excellent S/N 66dB(NTSC) / 64dB(PAL), which heretofore would
have been impossible, has been achieved thanks to newly
developed CCD signal processing, improvement of pre-amp,
digitization of remaining analog circuit and adoption of 12-bit A/D
conversion. Video signal noise has been reduced by 50% in
practical operation from our previous model.
■
AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCDs
High performance 520K pixel(NTSC) 16:9/4:3 switchable AIT
CCDs offer very low smear level of -135dB with 100,000 times
lighting condition. This figure actually exceeds that of previous FIT
chips.
■
ECC (Electronic Color Compensation) Filter
Employs 4 position(3200K/4300K/6300K/8000K) ECC filter. It
provides higher sensitivity at high color temperature with similar
operation to current top end
broadcast cameras. A 4-position
Neutral Density Filter is
provided to accommodate the
full range of outdoor lighting
conditions.
