2/3-inch type Power HAD WS CCD
The DSR-570WS is equipped with three 2/3-inch type Power HAD WS
CCDs, each with a high density of 520,000 pixels (NTSC)/570,000
pixels (PAL). These CCDs were originally designed for the 16:9 aspect
ratio, therefore high-quality images can be obtained in the 16:9 mode
with virtually no image loss. A high sensitivity of F11 (at 2000 lx, 3200 K),
remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 63 dB* (NTSC)/61 dB*(PAL) and a
low vertical smear level of -120 dB are also key specifications of this
camcorder. * Typical

onto the Video Auxiliary (VAUX) area of a DVCAM tape, together with
the video signals.
Encoding circuit
The DSR-570WS performs digital-to-analog encoding in a wide
signal-bandwidth range. This contributes to its high horizontal resolutions
of 850 TV lines (in 4:3 mode) and 800 TV lines (in 16:9 mode).
an outstanding sensitivity of F13 (at 2000 lx, 3200 K), a remarkable
