Settings That Can Be Changed (List of Menu items)
Adjusting the shutter speed in units of H: with the
DXC-930, t H is 63.56 psec. and with the
DXC-930P, 64.0 usec.
This function reduces a noise which appears as
horizontal stripes when shooting computer screen
displays for example (Clear Scan function). While
checking the image on the monitor screen, you can
make adjustment using the DATA UP and DATA
DOWN buttons to obtain a picture showing the
least possible horizontal stripe noise.
Calculating shutter speeds from SHUTTER MANU
Settings
Example 1: When the frame setting is 005:
DXC-930: 005 x 1/30 sec. = 0.1666 sec.
DXC-930P: 005 x 1/25 sec. =0.2 sec.
Example 2: When the H setting is 250/525
(DXC-930) or 250/625 (DXC-930P):
DXC-930: 250 x 63.56 usec. + 34.78 psec.
(constant) = 15924.78 usec.
=approx. 0.016 sec.
DXC-930P: 250 x 64 usec. + 35.6 psec. (constant)
= 16035.6 psec. = approx. 0.016 sec.

M.PED (master pedestal)
Normally set this to +00.
When the black parts of the picture are too dull, you can
make them look sharp by adjusting the the master black
level. Use of a waveform monitor will make the
adjustment easier.
DTL (detail)
You can use the DTL function to adjust the sharpness of
the outlines of objects in the reproduced picture.
A higher set value makes the picture look sharper with
more detail on the image outlines, and a lower value
makes the picture look softer with less detail.
H.PHASE (horizontal phase)
When an external reference sync signal to gen-lock the
camera is input to the GEN LOCK connector, the camera
operates at the frequency of that reference signal. You can
use this H.PHASE function to perfectly synchronize the
camera operation with the reference signal to the level of
horizontal phase.
