Features
Thank you for purchasing the
DZ-VCA1SE MICRO HD CAMERA.
● Compact, lightweight design
Thanks to the incorporation of 1/3-inch CCDs, the
camera head's outer dimensions have been reduced
to a compact 59 (W) x 70 (H) x 79 (D) mm and its
weight to only 230 g.
(1/3 the volume and 1/6 the weight of an ordinary HD
camera) The CCU (camera control unit) can be
mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch rack (2-unit size).
● High resolution
A total of four NTSC 1/3-inch CCDs are used (2 for G
and one each for R and B). Utilizing a newly-devel-
oped 4-CCD dual green system and digital signal
processing, this camera is able to produce extremely
high horizontal resolution of more than 800 TV lines
and vertical resolution of more than 650 TV lines
(approx. twice that of NTSC). The aspect ratio is 4:3.
● System construction
HDTV studio standard (compliant with ITU-R Rec.
709) sync signals are used, allowing recorded picture
to be played back with high picture quality when an
HDTV VCR such as the W-VHS VCR is used.
A cost-effective, high-picture-quality system can be
configured using a multi-scan computer monitor.
● Automatic sensitivity control
The automatic sensitivity control combines automatic
sensitivity control with ALC and electronic iris (ALC +
EEI) to allow trouble-free shooting under lighting
conditions ranging from low to high intensity.
● Electronic shutter function
A built-in 1/2000-sec. electronic shutter function
allows capture and analysis of fast-moving subjects.
● Flicker-free mode
Greatly reduces the flickering caused by shooting
under a fluorescent lamp in locations using 50-Hz
cycles.
● Colour bar generator
A full colour bar generator is built in for easy system
adjustment.
● Switchable positive/negative signal
Signals can be inverted with a switch, allowing
conversion of a negative film to a positive picture.
● Automatic internal/external sync switching
Useful for systematic operations, such as multi-
camera video processing, in combination with other
devices.
● 2H contour provided as standard
Contour compensation is performed both horizontally
and vertically to assure sharp, clear pictures.
• JVC cannot be responsible for any loss or
damage to recorded material in the event
that the colour video camera, VCR, or video
cassette malfunctions during recording.
