INTRODUCTION |

A compact and powerful solution for both field and
studio applications
Ever since their introduction, Sony DSR-500WS and DSR-300A Digital Camcorders have shown the many distinct advantages of using the DVCAM format in the field. Today, they are in service around the world in a variety of applications, from video journalism and newsgathering to event videography, field and studio production and much more.
Building on this success, Sony now announces the DSR-570WS*1 and DSR-370*2 – DVCAM camcorders that take the advantages of their predecessors further still.
As well as combining the excellent performance of the DVCAM format with a variety of advanced camera features, these camcorders also allow studio operation via CCU control. Both camcorders come equipped with the Sony 26-pin connector, which enables connection to either a Sony CCU-D50*3 for use in the studio, or to a portable VTR for high-quality EFP applications in the field.
Special attention to ergonomic design has resulted in extremely lightweight and compact units, providing maximum operational comfort when used on the shoulder or mounted on a tripod.
The DSR-570WS and DSR-370 herald a new level of quality, versatility and convenience for virtually any application, ranging from ENG to EFP and to multi-camera studio operations.

DSR-570WS features
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 important specifications of this camcorder.
Switchable aspect ratio
Wide-aspect CCDs and digital signal processing allow the DSR-570WS to operate in both widescreen (16:9) and standard (4:3) aspect ratio modes. When
shooting in 16:9 mode, it is also possible to display both 16:9 and 4:3 safety zones in the supplied DXF-801 viewfinder.
16:9 ID pulse
When shooting 16:9 images, the DSR-570WS automatically adds a wide-aspect ID pulse to the video output signal, indicating the aspect ratio of the picture. The 16:9 information is also recorded 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).
