HD Shooting with High Sensitivity, Superb Picture Quality
F10 Sensitivity, Digital Super Gain, and Line Mix
Extremely bright for an HD camera, the AJ-HDX400's lens produces
crisp images even in normal mode. It also features both conventional
electronic gain and digital super gain (frame cumulative mode), enabling
ultra-sensitive recording up to +74 dB*1. In contrast to the increased
noise of electronic gain functions, this system maintains a high S/N*2.
The line mix mode also accommodates moving images. Combine the
digital super gain, conventional electronic gain, and line mix mode to
respond flexibly to virtually all shooting situations.
Nomal Gain UP Image
*1 Combining electronic gain with +48 dB, 6P cumulative mode with +20 dB, and line
mix with +6 dB.
*2 The use of cumulative frames reduces the number of frames per second, giving
moving images a frame-by-frame effect.
Four Gain Settings
Gain selector:
(electronic)
Super gain:

Digital super gain :
(frame cumulative mode) +12 dB (15P)/+15 dB(10P)/+20 dB(6P)

Newly Developed Progressive HD Shooting System
In this new system, a progressive CCD lets you shoot 60p images and
use Progressive/Interline conversion to attain 1080/59.94i images. This
makes it possible to get the similar level of image quality and low smear
as you get with a 2-million pixel FIT CCD, by using a high-sensitivity,
lower-cost IT CCD.
12-Bit A/D Signal Processing Circuit
The AJ-HDX400 features a new DSP circuit that uses 12-bit rather than
conventional 10-bit processing for A/D conversion. This achieves better
overall picture quality, with finer gradation and improved color
expression.
400% Digital Zoom
You can digitally enlarge the CCD image to 200%, 300% or 400% of the
normal lens magnification. HD images retain their superior resolution
even with zooming, and — unlike when a lens extender is used —
brightness is not reduced. Ideal as both a shooting technique and
focusing support.
*Jagged edges typical of digital zooming appear in 3x and 4x zoom images.
Digital Super Gain UP Image
Select three values from
3/0/+3/+6/+9/+12/+15/+18/+21/+24/+27/+30 dB.
–
Select one value from
+30/+36/+42/+48 dB for one-touch gain increase.
Select one value from +6 dB(30P)/+10 dB(20P)/
for one-touch registration.
Switch ON and OFF
from the menu for a +6 dB effect.
User Scene Files
Store specific camera settings in
built-in memory, then retrieve them
when needed for quick, easy setup.
Four files with settings can be stored
in the camera's memory. Files can
also be copied onto an SD Memory
Card or MultiMediaCard, allowing
storage of up to eight files.
Customized User Buttons
Three user buttons are provided. Assign a function to each for easy
pushbutton selection: Super Iris, Super Gain, Digital Super Gain, Super
Black, Black Stretch, Front/Rear Input Select of Audio CH1/CH2, etc. You
can also customize the on-screen menu with the items you use most
often, then display them by simply pressing a button.
