Low Key Saturation
With traditional cameras, low-light areas can be
subject to reduced saturation, resulting in the color in
these areas being "washed-out". The Low Key
Saturation function on the DXC-D50 Series helps
eliminate this problem by optimizing the amplification
of color saturation at low light levels, providing more
natural color reproduction.
Cross-Color Suppression
Separating the luminance and chrominance
components of a composite signal can be a difficult
task, even with the most advanced comb-filtering
techniques. In order to keep cross color and cross
luminance to a minimum, the DXC-D50 Series virtually
eliminates frequency components that may result in
such artifacts being generated prior to the signal
output. These frequency components are virtually
eliminated from the Y/R-Y/B-Y signals within the
camera head through sophisticated digital three-line
(NTSC)/five-line (PAL) comb filtering, resulting in a
great reduction of the cross color and dot crawl
normally seen on picture monitors fed with a
composite video signal.
Skin-Tone Detail Control
The Skin-Tone Detail function on the
DXC-D50/D50WS allows softer detail correction to be
applied in the facial area, while maintaining the
sharpness of other parts of the picture.
The Skin-Tone Detail area can be selected simply and
quickly using the Area-Detect Cursor in the viewfinder
screen. The color range for the Skin-Tone Detail (and
skin detail level) can also be selected manually using
the viewfinder menu system.
