a) DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL only
b) Illustration: DXC-D35WS/D35WSP

The DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL is a 16:9 wide-screen
type (4:3-16:9 switchable) digital video camera while
“the DXC-D35/D35P is a 4:3 standard-screen type
digital video camera. Common features on both types
_are described in this section. See also “Features on the
DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL” (page 12) for using the
DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL.
— */s-inch IT type Power HAD (WS) CCD
The DXC-D35/D35P Color Video Camera uses 7/3-
inch IT type Power HAD CCDs. (For the DXC-
D35WSL/D35WSPL, Power HAD WS CCDs are
used. ) It outperforms most of the exiting FIT type
CCD cameras for high-end use, in both picture quality
and sensitivity.
«Smear: —125 dB (DXC-D35/D35P) or—120 dB
(DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL)
* Sensitivity: F11.0 (at 3200 K, 2000 lux)
*S/N: 63 dB (DXC-D35/D35WSL) or 61 dB (DXC-
D35P/D35WSPL)
Sophisticated image processing
TruEye™ processing makes possible the following
performance features. This new digital signal
" processing has brought reproduction of natural colors
to the level achieved by the human eye.
DynaLatitude™ :
Enables detailed adjustment of contrast control in each
pixel in accordance with a histogram of luminance
signal levels (see page 45).
DCC+ (dynamic contrast control plus)
Prevents white breakup when shooting a high intensity
subject, and also prevents color faults in high intensity
subject.
‘Black stretch and compress
Enables control of luminance signal levels in black
areas without changing the hue.
Variety of detail corrections
¢Skin detail function: this function gives a slightly
softer appearance to the subject’s face. The target
skin color can be automatically set.
* Black halo correction
*Red/green vertical detail correction: this function
performs vertical detail compensation for both red
and green signals.
* Horizontal detail frequency control
Recording and managing setup data
In addition to the setup menu that is displayed in the
viewfinder screen, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/_
D35WSPL is equipped with the following functions to
facilitate camera head setup.
Setup file system
You can use setup files when making adjustments or
settings. The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL
comes with factory preset files that contain shipped
settings and you can freely create user files as well.
Automatic recording of setup data (when
using DSR-1/1P)
When the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL is
connected to the DSR-1/1P VTR, two types of setup
data can be recorded.
SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings
are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few
seconds. This recorded data can then be used to
reproduce the same shooting conditions in
subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to
identify the causes of problems in previous shots.
SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the
setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the
tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to
other camera heads so that the same setup can be
shared among several camera heads.

Features
ClipLink™ Function (when using DSR-
1/1P)
The ClipLink function can be used at every step from
acquisition to editing. Information necessary for
editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and
efficient editing operations.
When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when
you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the
video image at that point is recorded on the tape in
compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the
time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark
OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with
other editing point data (such as the cassette number
and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink
log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can
also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that
only the good scenes are taken up from cassette
memory when editing.
Dockable with various types of VTRs
The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL docks with
the DSR-1/1P DVCAM VTR to configure a digital
camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam
SP VTR to configure a Betacam SP camcorder. In
addition, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL
docks with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an
adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a
variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.
New Functions boost operability
EZ (easy) mode function
When there isn’t time to check the camera head
settings, simply press the EZ mode button to start the
auto adjustment function using standard settings.
There is no need to lose a shot for lack of setup time.
EZ (easy) focus
Press the EZ focus button before shooting to ensure a
quick and accurate focus.
1) DPR = Dual Pixel Readout
10 Chapter 1 Overview
Programmable gain
The amount of gain relative to the GAIN switch
setting (H, M, or L) can be programmed as —3 dB, 0
dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 18 dB+DPR”, 24
dB,
24 dB+DPR and hyper gain.
Hyper gain
Hyper gain (36 dB or 42dB, i.e. about 60 times or 120
times greater than
0 dB) can be easily set via one switch setting. This
can also be done from remote equipment.
Auto tracing white balance
This function automatically traces the white balance,
which constantly changes as lighting conditions
change. Auto tracing white balance is especially
useful when there is no time to manually adjust the
white balance or when shooting moves between indoor
and outdoor locations.
Total level control system (TLCS)
Even if the incoming light exceeds the range in which
the standard auto iris can control exposure, the auto
gain control (AGC) or auto exposure (AE) backs up to
ensure proper exposure.
Dual pixel readout (DPR)
When the gain is set to either 18 dB or 24 dB, the gain
setting can be doubled (6 dB up) without increasing
the noise level.
Recording time display
Recording time can be displayed in either of the
following modes.
* Total recording time for all cuts
¢ Total recording time for current cut

@ A. IRIS (auto iris) MODE switch and indicator
When you use the auto iris function (by setting the iris
selector on the lens to A), set this switch to suit the
shooting conditions. Selecting BACK L gives more
light to back-lit subjects, and selecting SPOT L adjusts
for high contrast in spot-lit subjects. For normal
shooting, set this switch to STD.
© ATW (auto tracing white balance) button and
indicator
Press this button, turning the indicator on, when you
want the white balance to be adjusted automatically to
follow changes in lighting conditions. (See page &/.)
@ POWER switch
This powers the camera on and off. There are two
different ON settings as follows.
ON STBY: This puts the VTR on standby. In this
state, pressing the VTR button on the camera
head, the lens or a camera adaptor starts recording
immediately.
ON SAVE: This puts the VTR in the power-saving
state, with the video head drum stationary. In this
state, it takes a few seconds to start recording after
pressing the VTR button.
The VTR state when this switch is in the ON STBY or
ON SAVE position may depend on the VTR model.
© MENU/STATUS switch
When you press this switch to the MENU position, the
basic menu is displayed. Keep pressing it to the
MENU position to cycle through the various menu
displays. When you press the switch to the STATUS
position, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL’s
status (of current settings) is displayed.
© W. BAL (white balance) switch
This selects the white balance setting from the preset
value, the value in memory A or the value in memory
B. (See page 79.)
@ OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ (DynaLatitude/dynamic
contrast control plus) switch
Use this switch to select the DCC+ function, the
DynaLatitude function, or color bar output.
Select the CAM/DCC+ position in most cases.
CAM/DCC+: This activates the DCC+ function.
This prevents color faults when shooting high-
intensity subjects.

CAM/DL: This setting uses the DynaLatitude
function, which finely adjusts the contrast of each
pixel according to a histogram of luminance signal
levels. Access advanced menu page 2 to set the
DynaLatitude function ON or OFF. The
DynaLatitude effect can be set to any of three
levels, Low, STD (standard), and High with basic
menu page 2.
. BARS: This setting displays color bars.
For details of menu operation, see Chapter 4 “Viewfinder
Screen Displays and Menus” (page 51).
@® GAIN switch
This selects one of the three gain settings, high,
medium or low. You can choose the gain values
assigned to the H, M and L settings from values from
—3 dB to 24 dB + DPR and HYPER GAIN. (See page
64.) The factory default selections are 18 dB (H), 9 dB
(M) and 0 dB (L).
Note | |
When the HYPER GAIN switch ® is in the ON
position, the GAIN switch has no effect.
@ NG button
When using the ClipLink function during shooting,
you can designate a particular scene as “NG” (No
Good) by pressing this button before shooting the next
scene. Press the button again to cancel the NG setting.
@® Breaker switch
If there is a fault in the camera power supply, the
breaker trips, and the camera power supply is
disconnected. Correct the fault in the power supply,
then press this switch.
@® REC (recording) TIME switch
This selects the recording time indication in the
viewfinder.
TTL: Displays the total recording time.
The total recording time is not reset even when
you stop the VTR and power off the camera, for
example, to replace the battery pack.
DUR: Displays the recording time of the current cut.
- OFE/TC: Switches off the recording time display.
If, however, a PV V-3/3P is connected, and in the
advanced menus you set the time code display
item (TC IND) to ON (see page 67), then the VTR
time data (time code, CTL count, or user bit
value) is displayed.
The recording time displayed when this switch is set
to the TTL or DUR position is obtained by counting
the duration of the internal reference signal input to
the camera.
The value may not agree exactly with the value
derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the
value displayed may not be correct when another
manufacturer’s VTR is connected to the camera.
@® TTL (total) RESET button
Pressing this button resets the total recording time
(TTL selection) to zero.
@® SKIN DTL (skin detail) switch
Set this switch to ON to use the skin detail correction
function.
For details, see “Skin Detail Correction” (page 93).
@ SKIN DTL (skin detail set) SET button
Press this button with the SKIN DTL button ® to
display the area detect cursor on the viewfinder screen.
Place the cursor on the target and press a button to
perform skin detail correction.
For details, see “Skin Detail Correction” (page 93).
@® SET UP switch
Use this switch to select the camera head setup
method.
STD: Set up using the setup menu. Setup file data is
not displayed.
FILE: Set up using setup files and the setup menu.
@® HYPER GAIN switch
Setting this switch to the ON position increases the
gain by a factor of about 60 or 120 with respect to 0
dB (a 30 or 36 GB increase by electronic amplification
and a 6 dB increase for DPR, bringing about a total
gain increase of 36 or 42 dB).
When this switch is in the ON position, the indication
“HYPER” appears in the viewfinder, and the GAIN
UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.
When finished shooting, return this switch to the OFF
position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the
GAIN UP indicator goes out.
Increasing the gain with this switch reduces the
horizontal resolution by 50%.
