The DXF-51 5" monochrome studio viewfinder offers 650 lines of resolution. When connected to a 16:9 aspect camera, the viewfinder will automatically switch the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9.

The 4:3 CRT of the DXF-51 automatically switches between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, depending on the active aspect ratio of the connected camera.
Tally Indicators:
  • Red: A Red REC (Record) tally is located above and below the viewfinder screen. This ensures that the operator will not overlook the REC indicator.
  • Green: A Green tally is located above the viewfinder screen, as an alternative for CCU operation
  • Main: A large White REC tally for the talent is located at the rear of the viewfinder
Includes both 20-pin and 8-pin camera connectors. Various controls such as Shutter/Gain LED indication and 4:3/16:9 switching are possible through 20-pin serial data transmission. The native 20-pin connector is designed for use with cameras such as the DXC-D35.
Pan and Tilt control is easily adjusted. A Tilt range of +/- 40° and Pan range of +/-90°. At any tilt angle, the center of gravity does not change, keeping the camera balance stable.
