Freeze Mix Function
The Freeze Mix function superimposes a previously
recorded image on the view-finder, allowing the opera-
tor to easily frame or reposition a subject when a shot
must be taken in the same framework as a previous
take. Combined with the SetupLog™ function, a retake
is a breeze.

Technical advantages of DSR-570WSP /
DSR-390P
As most camcorders are now digital, it is important to
understand that the real benefit of a professional
DVCAM camcorder is in the way the Digital Signal
Processing works.
The DSR camcorders were created with the sole
purpose of producing perfect pictures. From the very
first shot in a production, the operator now has
the power to make a unique creative contribution
during shooting. Using these models, so much more
can now be done “in-camera” that is a defiance of
conventional wisdom. The DSR camcorders deliver
outstanding “in-camera” creativity !
Issued from the well-known DVW-700 Digital
Betacam camcorder technology, the DSR-570WSP
and DSR-390P offer unique functionality giving the
operator a unique opportunity to customise their
camera settings, so that they precisely suit produc-
tion requirements.
Here are some examples of the unique functions
provided by the high end DVCAM camcorders.
The TruEye digital signal processing is one of the
most innovative features that DSP allows and makes
it possible to reproduce a far more natural colour
than a conventional camera, even in severe shooting
conditions.
Sony TruEye digital signal processing technology
virtually eliminates hue distortion, particularly obvious
in extreme lighting conditions, that results from
conventional RGB analogue or digital processing.
By processing video signal data at three levels –
brightness, hue, and saturation – similar to how the
human eye works, the TruEye™ process assists in the
reproduction of natural skin tones.

Main features
THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER DIGITAL CAMCORDER
DynaLatitude, a unique feature for contrast control,
minimises video level distortion. Based on video signal
histograms, the DynaLatitude function aligns the con-
trast of each pixel individually to eliminate imbalances,
such as overexposure of background image.
Contrast Control with the DynaLatitude™
function
Contrast in the black area of an image can easily be
adjusted using the Black Stretch/Compress control
function. Black Stretch emphasises contrast in dark
areas, while Black Compress enhances or deepens
darkness.
Black Stretch and Compress
On transition between 2 contrasted zones, the “Black
Halo” phenomenon appears. It consists of excess of
contrast on the border, the DSP process of the DVCAM
camcorders eliminates this phenomenon.
