Newly Developed Mega Pixel 1/4.7-inch Type 3-CCD Camera System
The DSR-PDX10 incorporates three 1/4.7-inch type Advanced HAD™CCD chips, each with a total of 1,070,000 pixels. (690,000 effective pixels for video acquisition in 4:3 mode, and 1,000,000 pixels for still-image capture).
14-bit DXP (Digital Extended Processor)
The use of 14-bit A/D conversion combined with 14-bit digital processing drastically reduces the noise commonly seen across dark areas of a picture. This precision of digital processing also contributes to expanding the dynamic range of the camera so that both dark and light areas of a picture are reproduced with more contrast, thus reducing the wash-out effect.
Advanced HAD CCD Technology
The DSR-PDX10 incorporates the new Advanced HAD CCD technology. This is another key to reproducing high-quality pictures with reduced noise, even in dark shooting environments and with dark subjects.
Optical Super SteadyShot®Function
The DSR-PDX10 employs the Super SteadyShot system in which the horizontal and vertical movements during camera work are detected independently by the sensors. The active lens adjusts and optically compensates for unsteadiness, while maintaining image quality.
Switchable 4:3 and 16:9 Recording Modes
The DSR-PDX10 captures images in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. This function is easily selected from the menu.
Precision 16:9 Technology and Wider Angle of View in 16:9 Mode
Use of the Mega Pixel CCD especially contributes to providing high resolution pictures in the 16:9 aspect ratio. This also enables an even wider angle of view in the 16:9 mode.
Custom Presets
The DSR-PDX10 offers a Custom Preset feature, allowing the operator to store and later recall the desired camera settings. The following camera parameters can be preset: Color Level, Sharpness, White Balance Shift, AE Shift and AGC Limit (+6 dB or +12 dB)
