featuring three CCD image sensors which each have a 2/3-inch 1 on-chip lens. The AJ-SDC905 SDC905 supports both the DVCPRO and DVCPRO50 formats. (The AJ-SDC615 SDC615 supports only the DVCPRO format.) Both camera recorders feature a compact size, light weight, low power consumption, high image quality, high sensitivity, excellent mobility and outstanding dust-proof and moisture-proof characteristics. They are ideally suited not only for news gathering but also for a wide range of production applications. Both their camera and VTR units employ digital signal processing technology to achieve an improved image quality and stability, and they configure a system which enables data management using setup cards. An IEEE 1394 connector is provided as a standard feature for increased mobility. 1-1 Features of the camera unit ≥3 CCDs with a 2/3-inch on-chip lens ≥Data control function Aspect ratios of 16:9 and 4:3 are supported.

Further, NTFS and FAT32 formatted cards cannot be used with this unit. ≥Digital zoom function The recommended size for SD cards is 8 MB or more and 4 MB or more for MultiMedia cards.

At the front of the unit is a button for checking the ≥12-bit A/D conversion digital signal processing information concerning the markers on the viewfinder circuitry screen. This is useful for checking the picture angle, for instance, during shooting. The analog images are processed into digital data by a 12- bit A/D converter with sampling frequencies of 18 MHz, and by operating the signal processor using the 36 MHz ≥ECU supported frequency, it is possible to reproduce images which are The unit supports the AJ-EC3P extension control unit. more finely detailed and achieve improvements in stability and reliability. ≥Single-action shoulder pad slide function It is now possible to adjust the position where the unit is ≥12-axis independent color correction function optimally balanced for operation using a single-touch action.
