SONY DXC390 1/3" 3CCD NTSC Camera, Exwave HAD
NTSC color video camera which incorporates Exwave HAD® technology a new Sony technology that greatly improves camera sensitivity (F8 at 2000 lx) while reducing smear. Using a C-mount lens and providing a resolution of 800 TV lines and high S/N ratio, the DXC-390/390P is ideal for applications such as microscopy, industrial inspection, machine vision and remote camera systems, where picture accuracy and detail are important.
Incorporating new 10-bit DSP technology, a user friendly on-screen menu allows for simple control of various features including DynaLatitude, Partial Enhance, and a wide selection of Automatic Exposure (AE) modes.
Moreover, theDXC-390/390P is very compact [56(W) x 50(H) x 128(D)] and lightweight (370 g), making it easy to install.
Features
High picture quality
Incorporating three 1/3” type IT CCDs, the DXC-390/P produces a high resolution of 800 TV lines (768 x 494 pixels) and a high S/N ratio of 62 dB (NTSC), 61 dB (PAL). Featuring Sony’s new Exwave HAD, the DXC-390/P provides excellent sensitivity and low smear levels. Moreover, the DXC-390/P incorporates DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, resulting in images with higher picture quality and color accuracy.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
The DXC-390/P incorporates new Sony 10-bit DSP technology. DSP enables a variety of enhancement features and increases picture reliability. The DXC-390/P has several DSP functions for powerful picture controls.
Picture enhance controls digital detail
Adjusts the sharpness of the object outline with minimal noise. This feature also enables horizontal detail frequency control.
Linear Matrix
Enhances color reproduction by adjusting the color saturation and hue.
Partial Enhance
Enhances or softens a specific color by altering its hue, saturation and detail.
PICTURE CONTRAST CONTROLS
DCC+ (Dynamic Contrast Control Plus)
Avoids hue factor distortion that can occur when subjects are very bright. DCC+ also automatically adjusts the knee point according to the contrast of the image.
Black Stretch
Black stretch/compress enhances the gradation of dark areas by stretching or compressing the range of the brightness signal in these areas.
DynaLatitude
Automatically adjusts contrast corresponding to the brightness signal level of the entire image. Clear images can be captured if both bright and dark areas exist within the image.
SIMULATED PICTURES
On-Screen Menu
The on-screen menu feature allows for quick and easy picture adjustments while viewing the image. All camera control functions are accessible from the side panel of the camera or through the optional
ELECTRONIC SHUTTER FUNCTIONS
Variable speeds
A variable speed electronic shutter is built into the CCD imager, making it possible to capture blur-free, clear images of high speed moving objects. The DXC-390/P features 10 different shutter speeds (OFF to 1/100,000), including flickerless mode.
AE (AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE)
AE automatically controls the level of brightness by varying the exposure times. This is done by combining the CCD IRIS function, AGC (Automatic Gain Control), and Auto Iris function of the lens. The DXC-390/P is equipped with a number of convenient AE modes.
AE Level
Adjusts the standard brightness level by up to +/- one F-stop in a lens iris.
Long term exposure
The shutter speed can be manually selected from 1 to 255frames (field mode) or 2 to 256 frames (frame mode) in one frame steps or from 0.1 to 8.0 seconds.
AE Speed
Selectable AE (Auto Exposure) conversion speed to suit applications under varying lighting conditions.
Clear Scan
The Clear Scan feature eliminates the horizontal bands that appear across the screen when shooting a computer display. This is achieved by matching the camera shutter speed with the display scanning frequency.
CCD IRIS
When the level of incoming light exceeds the auto iris adjustment range, the CCD IRIS function automatically
reduces the exposure in a range equivalent to 10 F-stops.
AE Area
AE Area is a light metering system that includes six different modes.
