Features
The DXC-107A/107AP is a color video camera which uses a GCD
(Charge Coupled Device) solid state image sensor.
High quality picture
* High resolution: The CCD used in the camera has 768 x 494
(107A)/752 x 582 (107AP) picture elements, ensuring a high
resolution picture.
* Very faint after-images: A clear picture can be obtained even
when shooting a rapidly moving object or shooting in a place
where illumination is very low.
¢ Minimum image distortion: Pictures can be shot in precise
geometry.
High sensitivity
Will produce an image even in very poor lighting.
Four modes for white balance adjustment
You can choose the mode appropriate for the lighting conditions.
Electronic shutter with wide range of operating speeds
This camera has an electronic shutter whose operating speed can
be
selected
from
among
ten
settings.
Of
the
ten
settings,
seven
are
fixed
settings
ranging
from
1/60
(107A)/1/50
(107AP)
to
1/10000
sec.;
the
other
three
are
settings
for
automatic
shutter
speed
control
(CCD IRIS).
CCD iris function
The
camera
automatically
adjusts
the
shutter
speed
for
optimum
exposure,
even
when
using
a
jens
with
manual
iris.
Three
modes
are
available
to
suit
various
lighting
conditions:
normal
mode,
backlight
mode
and
spotlight
mode
(see
page
20).
internatfexternal sync system
When you use a video switcher to control two or more cameras, you
can input the same sync signal to all of them so that they output
pictures having the same quality.
Power feed and signal transmission with a single coaxial cable
When connected to a CMA-D7/CMA-D7CE camera adaptor (not
supplied) using a 75-ohm coaxial cable, the camera can receive
power from and transmit the video signal to the camera adaptor via
that cable. In addition, an external sync signal can be input to the
camera via the same cable.
Display of Camera ID on the monitor screen
A four-character camera ID (identification) can be superimposed on
the picture at the lower right corner of the monitor screen.
Compact and lightweight
The camera is so compact and lightweight that you have a wide -
choice of place to install: wall, ceiling, tripod, etc.
High resistance to vibration and mechanical shocks
You can obtain a fine picture with the least vibration noise even
while the camera is moved.
S video output
When camera adaptor CMA-D2/CMA-D2CE is connected, an S
video output is available. (An internal switch in the camera must be
set.) (See page 22.)

You can use any C-mount lens as long as its projection from the
lens mount shoulder is not greater than 7 mm.
ns |
Lens mount
shoulder
7 mm or less
Whether lens iris control is manual or automatic is no problem.
You can use, for example, the Sony VCL-06XK, which is a manual
iris lens.
Important
Always use a 1/2-inch C-mount lens with this camera whose CCD
size is 1/2 inch. If you use a lens of different size, 2/3 inches for
example, the angle of view will be different from that covered by a
1/2-inch lens.
Camera
Adaptor
The
camera
adaptor
you
can use

camera
is
