Sophisticated image processing
TruEye™ processing makes possible the following
performance features. This new digital signal
processing has brought reproduction of natural colors
to the level achieved by the human eye.
DynaLatitude™
Enables detailed adjustment of contrast control in each
pixel in accordance with a histogram of luminance
signal levels (see page 45).
DCC+ (dynamic contrast control plus)
Prevents white breakup when shooting a high intensity
subject, and also prevents color faults in high intensity
subject.
Black stretch and compress
Enables control of luminance signal levels in black
areas without changing the hue.
Variety of detail corrections
• Skin detail function: this function gives a slightly
softer appearance to the subject’s face. The target
skin color can be automatically set.
• Black halo correction
• Red/green vertical detail correction: this function
performs vertical detail compensation for both red
and green signals.
• Horizontal detail frequency control
Recording and managing setup data
In addition to the setup menu that is displayed in the
viewfinder screen, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/
D35WSPL is equipped with the following functions to
facilitate camera head setup.
Setup file system
You can use setup files when making adjustments or
settings. The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL
comes with factory preset files that contain shipped
settings and you can freely create user files as well.
Automatic recording of setup data (when
using DSR-1/1P)
When the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL is
connected to the DSR-1/1P VTR, two types of setup
data can be recorded.
SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings
are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few
seconds. This recorded data can then be used to
reproduce the same shooting conditions in
subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to
identify the causes of problems in previous shots.
SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the
setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the
tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to
other camera heads so that the same setup can be
shared among several camera heads.
