The Sony DXC-D55H is a dockable camera head used for both multi-core and triax systems. Building on the previous DXC-D50 series, the camera has been equipped with a 14-Bit A/D conversion chip, helping to improve overall image quality. The camera uses 3 Power HAD EX chips featuring over a million pixels per chip for better video under the harshest lighting conditions. The DXC-D55H provides an ideal solution for ENG, EFP, and small studio operations at an affordable price.
14-Bit A/D Processing
The DXC-D55H features 14-bit analog to digital conversion improving overall image reproduction in a variety of areas, most notably decreasing over noise levels and increase color accuracy in mid-tones. Additionally, the technology produces extremely low vertical smear.
Low Key Saturation
The "Low Key" Saturation function helps retain color and detail in low-light areas of the scene by optimizing color amplification in low-light levels. This function provides more natural color reproduction.
Cross-Color Suppression
In order to keep cross-color and cross-luminance to a minimum, the DXC-D55H virtually eliminates frequency components that may create artifacts being generated prior to the signal output. The use of a digital three-line comb filtering results in a great reduction of the cross color and dot crawl normally seen on picture monitors fed a composite signal.
Skin Tone Detail Control
The camera allows softer detail correction to be applied in facial areas while maintaining sharpness of the other parts of the picture. The operator can quickly select the function with the Area-detector cursor in the viewfinder. The color range for the skin tone detail and skin detail level can be selected manually using the menu system.
Memory Stick File Operation
You may store and recall setup parameters for individual scenes or camera setup preferences. These parameters stored on a Memory Stick card can be transferred to another camera or remote control unit allowing quick setup in multiple camera systems. Additionally, the files may be transmitted through your computer via email attachment and shared with cameras in remote locations.
