FEATURES
3-CCD Color Video Cameras
The DXC-390 (1/3”) and DXC-990 (1/2”) are DSP 3-CCD color video
cameras that incorporate Sony’s Exwave HAD technology to greatly
improve camera sensitivity while reducing smear. The DCX-390
uses a C-mount lens and features 800 lines of resolution, 62dB
S/N ratio, and sensitivity of f8 at 2000 lux. The DXC-990 uses
a bayonet mount and features 850 lines of resolution, 63dB S/N
ratio, and sensitivity of f11 at 2000 lux.
They are equipped with component (DXC-990 only), RGB, composite and
S-Video outputs, and all functions can be easily controlled from their rear panel.
They can also be controlled via the optional RM-C950 Remote Control or by computer via the RS-232 port.
The DCX-390 and DXC-990 are ideal for applications such as microscopy, industrial inspection, machine vision and
remote camera systems, where picture accuracy and detail are important. Incorporating10-bit DSP technology, a user
friendly on-screen menu allows for simple control of various features including a DynaLatitude function, Partial Enhance,
and a wide selection of Automatic Exposure (AE) modes.
Superior Picture Quality
◆ Incorporating three1/3” IT CCDs, the
DXC-390 delivers 800 lines of resolution
and a S/N ratio of 62 dB. Featuring Sony’s
ExwaveHAD technology and advanced video
processing, the DXC-390 provides excellent
sensitivity (f8 at 2000 lux) and
low smear levels.
◆ Incorporating three1/2” IT CCDs, the
DXC-990 delivers 850 lines of resolution
and a S/N ratio of 63 dB. Featuring Sony’s
ExwaveHAD technology and advanced video
processing, the DXC-990 provides excellent
sensitivity (f11at 2000 lux) and
low smear levels.
◆ In addition to capturing images with the
highest quality—even in difficult lighting
conditions, they also incorporate DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) technology,
resulting in images with higher picture
quality and color accuracy.
DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
◆ The DXC-390 and DCX-990 incorporate Sony
10-bit DSP technology. DSP enables a variety
of enhancement features and increases
picture reliability. They have several DSP
functions for powerful picture controls.
DynaLatitude Function:
Automatically adjusts contrast corresponding
t
o the brightest signal level of the entire
image. Clear images can be captured if both
bright and dark areas exist within the image.
DCC + (Dynamic Contrast Control Plus):
Avoids hue factor distortion that can occur
when subjec
ts are very bright. DCC+ also
automatically adjusts the knee point
according to the contrast of the image.
Knee Control:
By adjusting the knee, a knee point and knee
slope ar
e set so that the highlighted areas of
the picture can be clearly reproduced.
High/Normal/Low switchable.
Partial Enhance:
Allows a particular color to be
selec
ted, and its hue, saturation
and detail altered. In addition,
the detail produced by the high
resolution of the camera can
be softened or emphasized in
certain parts of the image by
the Partial Enhance function.
Picture Contrast Controls
DXC-990
Digital Detail:
Adjusts the sharpness of the
objec
t outline with minimal noise.
This feature also enables horizontal
detail frequency control.
Linear Matrix:
Provides sophisticated electronic
adjustment f
or accurate color
reproduction by adjusting color
saturation and hue.
Partial Enhance ON (Fuchsia)
Partial Enhance OFF
Black Stretch: Black stretch/compress enhances the gradation of the dark area by stretching or
compressing the range of the image.
