SONY
4- and 5˝ Studio Viewfinders
The DXF-41 and DXF-51 are 4˝ and 5˝ high resolution monochrome
viewfinders for use with Sony DXC-Series professional cameras in the
studio and in field production. High resolution of 500 lines (DXF-41)
and 650 lines (DXF-51) combined with high voltage regulation cir-
cuitry provides clear and very stable images for accurate focusing. They both
offer switchable 16:9/4:3 aspect ratios, while the DXF-51 is automatically
switched according to the image format of the camera to which it is con-
nected. With their excellent performance and range of adjustments, either
viewfinder will enhance your shooting.
■ Horizontal resolution of 500 and 650 lines
respectively assure accurate focusing, while
incorporation of high voltage regulation cir-
cuitry produces very stable pictures.
■ They can operate on 525/59.94 (EIA or
625/50 (CCIR) video signals. Selection is
automatic.
■ Underscan capability allows you to see a full-
sized image shot with all the superimposed
characters on the viewfinder screen.
■ The light transmittance of the cover panel
attached in front of the viewfinder’s CRT has
been improved. This lets you obtain bright,
clear images without excessive CRT bright-
ness.
■ Switchable 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio (automatic
on the DXF-51). In 16:9 mode, the height of
vertical scanning is reduced to the 16:9 aspect
size, and a 16:9 wide-screen picture is dis-
played on the viewfinder screen.

■ Provides two red record tally lamps. In
addition to the familiar REC tally above
the viewfinder screen, a second REC tally
is located below the screen. This makes it
almost impossible to overlook REC tally
indication. Also has a green tally lamp for
use as an alternative for CCU operation.
■ The color of the large main REC tally at
the back of the viewfinder is white. (In
previous viewfinders this used to be red.)
This change makes it easier to distinguish
red REC tally lamp indication.
■ Easily manipulated in both panning and
tilting modes. Tilting is possible within
the range of ± 40°. At any tilt angle, the
center of gravity does not move, keeping
camera balance stable. Panning of ± 90° is
also possible.
■ In addition to the 8-pin connector, the
DXF-51 is equipped with a 20-pin
viewfinder connector for use with the
DXC-30 series. Various controls such as
Shutter/Gain LED indication and
16:9/4:3 switching are possible through
20-pin serial transmission. In addition,
the DXF-51 is supplied with an 8-pin
DIN cable for use with older cameras
such as the DXC-327/537/637.
■ Supplied with a hood designed especially
for outdoor use.
■ Although small and lightweight, the
DXF-51 is constructed of rugged die-cast
aluminum, making the viewfinder body
highly durable.
