≥ 3 CCDs with a 2/3-inch on-chip lens
Aspect ratios of 16:9 and 4:3 are supported.
≥ Storage type high-sensitivity function
The unit comes with a storage type gain increase function.
This is a function that makes it possible to achieve a higher
sensitivity of up to 20 dB above the regular gain increase.
<Note>
Due to the properties inherent to the unit’s CCD image
sensors, the top left part of the screen may become slightly
brighter when the cumulative gain is increased.
≥ Digital zoom function
The unit is equipped with a digital zoom employing function.
This function is particularly useful when zooming further in
on a subject.
≥ 12-bit A/D conversion digital signal processing
circuitry
The analog images are processed into digital data by a 12-
bit A/D converter with sampling frequencies of 18 MHz, and
by operating the signal processor using the 36 MHz
frequency, it is possible to reproduce images which are
more finely detailed and achieve improvements in stability
and reliability.
≥ 12-axis independent color correction function
Serving as a paint function, this facility enables the colors
for 12 axes to be compensated for independently and is
very useful for creating finely detailed images.
≥ Data control function
When the unit is used on its own, one set of user data and
four sets of scene file data can be registered. Further, by
using an SD card or a Multimedia Card (optional accessory)
as the setup card, up to eight sets of setup data can be
stored.
<Note>
SD card and MultiMedia card used in this unit do not
comply with the SD standard. Do not use cards formatted
using this unit with other camera-recorders. Further, NTFS
and FAT32 formatted cards cannot be used with this unit.
The recommended size for SD cards is 8 MB or more and 4
MB or more for MultiMedia cards.
≥ MARKER SELECT button
At the front of the unit is a button for checking the
information concerning the markers on the viewfinder
screen. This is useful for checking the picture angle, for
instance, during shooting.
≥ ECU supported
The unit supports the AJ-EC3E extension control unit.
≥ Single-action shoulder pad slide function
It is now possible to adjust the position where the unit is
optimally balanced for operation using a single-touch action.
This means that the operator can easily optimize the unit’s
balance when the lens, battery and other peripheral camera
devices have been installed on the unit.
1-1 Features of the camera unit
The models AJ-SDC615 and AJ-SDC905 are camera recorders featuring three CCD image sensors which each have a 2/3-inch
on-chip lens.
The AJ-SDC905
supports both the DVCPRO and DVCPRO50 formats. (The AJ-SDC615 supports only the
DVCPRO format.)
Both camera recorders feature a compact size, light weight, low power consumption, high image quality, high sensitivity,
excellent mobility and outstanding dust-proof and moisture-proof characteristics.
They are ideally suited not only for news gathering but also for a wide range of production applications.
Both their camera and VTR units employ digital signal processing technology to achieve an improved image quality and stability,
and they configure a system which enables data management using setup cards.
An IEEE 1394 connector is provided as a standard feature for increased mobility.
