Features - Sony DXC-9000 Operating Instructions Manual

Features

The DXC-9000 is a color video camera with an 1/2-inch,
three-chip Progressive Scan CCD
The CCD uses an "all pixels read-out" method, which
enables the CCD to output all pixel signals in 1/60 sec. This
allows the unit to capture blur-free, clear images of fast-
moving objects without a mechanical shutter.
High quality image
The DXC-9000 produces high quality images thanks to its
1/2inch, three-chip CCD containing some 330,000 effective
picture elements (pixels). The camera has four features that
ensure high image quality:
• High horizontal resolution:700 TV lines
• High sensitivity (defined as minimum required
illumination): 2,000 lux at F5.6
• High signal-to-noise ratio: 58 dB
• Low smear

Square pixels
The unit uses pixels which have the same pitch horizontally
and vertically, namely 9.9µm × 9.9µm, to make a square
pixel. Because the pixels are geometrically the same in both
directions, you do not need to adjust the aspect ratio when
using with a computer, image processor, etc. This function
is very helpful when using the camera for image processing.
This is also useful for image composition by inputting the
signals to a computer.
VGA compatible
The unit supports VGA (640 × 480) displays used by
computers. An output of 60 frames of non-interlaced signals
per seconds allows you to connect the unit to a multi-scan
monitor or multi-scan printer which requires signals to be
processed at high-speed.
However, connection with some multi-scan monitors may
not be possible because of their input specifications.
When in doubt, contact your authorized Sony dealer.
