DCC
Dynamic Contrast Control. Also called automatic knee. A video camera
containing a DCC circuit can handle a wide dynamic range of luminance
by automatically varying the knee point and knee slope.
Drop frame mode
To eliminate the discrepancy between the actual time and the time code
value generated by the time code generator when the format of the
camcorder is set to either 29.97 Psf or 59.94 I, drop frame mode drops
two frames (frames 00 and 01) from the time code value at the beginning
of each minute except every tenth minute.
E-E mode
Electric-to-Electric mode. When you operate a VTR in E-E mode, input
video and/or audio signals pass through electric circuits only and then
come out from the output connectors, without passing through
electromagnetic conversion circuits such as recording heads. You can
A
use E-E mode to directly check and monitor the input signals without
recording them on tape.
