-inch CCD (Charge Coupled Device) images
each having a total of about 380,000 (NTSC) or
440,000 (PAL) effective picture elements. The CCD
offers better picture quality over tube type pick-up
devices by providing;
• higher resolution and sensitivity
• lower lag, higher image burning resistance, and no
deflection distortion
• less vibration and magnetic field distortion
• higher S/N ratio that allows you to raise the video
output level by 9 dB or 18 dB to get a clear picture
under low light conditions.
Maximum system versatility
By attaching optional equipment you can expand the
usability of the camera:
• the CA-537/537P Camera Adaptor enables you to
control the camera via a camera control unit or VTR.
• the CA-325A/325AP or CA-325B enables multiple
outputs of RGB format signal.
• a Hi8 format videocassette recorder or a Betacam
format videocassette recorder PVV-3/3P, Pro 2000
series, turns your unit into a camcorder.
• the CCU-M5/M5P Camera Control Unit allow you to
use the camera as a studio camera.
• the various kinds of power sources (battery, AC and
DC) allow you to use the camera under many power
situations.
Electronic shutter
The built-in electronic shutter ensures better pictures
of fast moving objects with little blurring.
Automatic adjustment and memory
functions
The camera automatically adjusts white/black balance
as well as camera settings, and stores the adjustments
for later use.
Viewfinder displays
So you don’t have to take your eye off what you are
shooting, the viewfinder displays adjustment
indications and warning. The viewfinder shows the
following four displays;
Characters: Show switch settings, warning
indications, and the title characters to be
superimposed.
Zebra pattern: Appears on the portion of the screen
where the video output level is about 70 to 80% IRE
(for NTSC) or 490 to 560 mV (for PAL). This pattern
acts as a reference when you manually adjust the iris.
Safety zone marker and center marker: Indicate the
safety zone for shooting and the center of the picture.
Status indicators: The REC/TALLY indicator flashes
to warn the connected VTR malfunctions, the BATT
indicator the weak power of the installed battery pack,
and the SHUTTER and GAIN UP indicators show the
setting status of the corresponding switches.
