Features
■Small camera head
The DXC-C33/C33P can be installed in space-limited
locations. The size of the camera head unit (CHU) is
one of the smallest of all the 1/3 type 3-CCD
cameras.
■High picture quality
The DXC-C33/C33P can clearly capture detailed
object images. Using three 1/3 type CCDs, the
camera can realize 2000 lux at F8, a S/N ratio of 62
dB (NTSC) or 61 dB (PAL) and achieve a horizontal
resolution of 850 TV lines.
■10-bit DSP
The DXC-C33/C33P can capture superior pictures
by adopting full Digital Signal Processing (DSP) of
10 bits.
■Frame memory
Built-in frame memory can provide a remakable
freeze image and enhanced image sensitivity by
the Long-Term exposure function. Images captured
by the Long-Term exposure function can be output
continuously .

Partial Enhance function.
3. KEY FEATURES
OFF ON
■User-friendly control panel
The front panel is very easy to use with good-sized
switches that are smartly arranged.
■Two AE areas preset
AE (Automatic Exposure) function is very useful in
determining the best area for incoming light metering.
Users can select and set up two of the six different AE
modes and can easily switch them on the front panel.
• The Multi mode measures the luminance level on
the 9 divided windows and the center window is
weighted compared to the others.
• In Manual mode, the user can freely define the
light metering area.
■RS-232C interface
Easy control and operation of the camera by an
external computer is possible. For details of the
RS-232C protocol, please refer to the Control
Protocol or contact your nearest Sony office.
■External synchronization
(VBS Genlock, HD/VD)
The DXC camera can be synchronized with an
external VBS signal from other equipment and
includes a SC/H phase adjustment control. HD/VD
sync signals also can be accepted. This is very
useful in multiple camera operation and in
connection with frame grabber boards.
■Color shading compensation
The color shading compensation feature provides a
uniformed color for images displayed on the screen.

3. KEY FEATURES
The DVCAM format is optimized for professional editing, based on and maintaining cross play with the DV format.
Digitization
• High-quality picture and sound
• Superb dubbing quality
• Unique functions provided by compression technology
High-performance editing
capabilities for professional use
• SMPTE/EBU time code
• RS-422A interface
• Newly developed mechanism
■ i.LINKTM(DV) out
DV (Digital Video) is the standard for consumer digital video. DV complies with the same IEEE1394 interface
standard as the DFW Series. Thanks to data-compression technology, the transmission speed of DV is
approximately 25 Mb/s. This figure is about 1/5 of the transmission speed of the DFW Series (no compression).
DV can be connected to a PC and various application software is available for DV. Users can therefore enjoy the
high quality of DV compression with the excellent line-up of the DVCAM Series. The DXC-C33/C33P is equipped
with a DV output terminal so that images can be recorded into an i.LINK interface-equipped VTR with no quality
deterioration.
This feature is first to be introduced to small 3-CCD cameras.
* i.LINK stands for IEEE-1394-1995 standards and their revisions.
Note: Sony VAIO computers are checked with Sony DV products, but not with DVCAM, concerning the i.LINK interconnection.
Some VAIO application software may not work with DVCAM.
Why was the DVCAM format Born?
CONCEPT - What is the benefit of the DVCAM for the DXC-C33/C33P?
The DVCAM format was developed to meet the following key demands:
• Digitization (trend from analog to digital)
• High-performance editing capabilities for professional use
• Full compatibility with the DV format

■DynaLatitude
TM
• The DynaLatitude processing function enables you to adjust the contrast of each pixel
according to the luminance signal level of each picture element.
• The DynaLatitude function minimizes video level distortion based on video signal histograms
in order to utilize the limited dynamic range of the standard video signal.
• If there is a dark section and bright section in one image
(i.e. shade and sunshine), then both parts will often look
vague. The DynaLatitude function allows you to adjust
the sharpness of both sections.
• Even when lighting is favorable, more luminance levels
will be allocated to the subject, creating a
clearer, more detailed image.

■DCC+ process
• The DCC+ (Dynamic Contrast Control Plus) process manages video signal data at three levels -
brightness, hue and saturation. The result is an image with suitable Knee correction and without
hue distortion.
■Knee and Black Stretch
• By adjusting the Knee, a Knee point and Knee slope are set so that the highlighted areas of the
picture can be clearly reproduced.
• Contrast in the dark area of the image can be variably adjusted using the Black Stretch function
for a clear view of specific details.
Electronic Shutter function
• The variable electronic shutter built into the CCD imager enables the DXC-C33/C33P to capture clear
images of moving objects. The shutter speed can be manually selected from a wide range of speeds
(up to 1/100000).
• The Flickerless mode allows you to obtain flickerless
images even in fluorescent lighting conditions.

Long Term Exposure function
• When shooting very dark objects or objects in dark lighting conditions, you can manually set the
shutter speed to 1/60 of a second or more to allow extra light to accumulate on the CCD sensors,
resulting in enhanced sensitivity.
• By Synchronizing the WEN pulse of the camera signal
output with an external memory unit such as a frame
grabber unit/board, it is possible to obtain a still video

Versatile white balance
The DXC-C33/C33P has six types of white balance control modes.
a) AWB
The White balance is updated by pushing the WHITE button on the front panel.
b) ATW Normal and ATW Wide
ATW automatically adjusts the white balance in response to varying light conditions. The
DXC-C33/C33P has two ATW modes. Normal mode is effective for a color temperature
range of 2600K to 8000K, and Wide mode adopts wider range of 2400K to 9000K. The
Wide mode is useful under sodium lumps such as those used in traffic surveillance.
In addition, the DXC-C33/C33P has functions that make the area and response speed of
ATW adjustable, as with the AE function.
c) Manual
The white balance can be adjusted manually according to requirements using the Red and
Blue Gain Level.
d) Preset 3200K/5600K
There are two preset white balance modes: one at a color temperature of 3200K and one at
5600K. The 3200K mode is recommended when the camera is used indoors. The 5600K
mode is recommended when the camera is used outdoors during the daytime.

Functions using WEN pulse — Output signal to external frame memory
The DXC-C33/C33P puts out a WEN pulse that enables the external frame memory to minutely
store the video signal output. The timing of the external frame memory can be locked by the HD/VD
signal or the sync signal of the DXC-C33/C33P so that the write-start timing of the external frame
memory can be precisely controlled. In short, the output pulse is effective for the video signal just
after the end of this pulse. The WEN pulse is useful to connect a frame grabber board or video printer
for the Strobe and Long-Term Exposure functions. Using the WEN pulse, users can capture full-frame
still images easily.
Signal specifications of the output pulse
• Output terminal: The 7th pin of the D-sub connector
• Output signal: The polarity of the pulse is switchable, and the signal is 75 ohms, unbalanced.
• Pulse width: 1V(one field)
The DXC-C33/C33P has three pulse modes: WEN-NORM, Strobe and Long term exposure.
1. WEN-NORM mode
The WEN pulse is continuously puts out a high signal in an even field, a low signal in an odd field (see
diagram) or vice versa. This means that the output pulse is a field index pulse.
2. Strobe mode
When the DXC-C33/C33P is set to the Strobe mode, the type of WEN pulse used is WEN-ODD only. The
WEN pulse is useful when used as a trigger for external frame memory to precisely capture full frame.
3. Long-Term exposure mode (WEN-EVEN mode and polarity rising edge)
During the Long-Term exposure mode, the video signal is output, as shown in the diagram below and the
WEN pulse is output in one the field before the valid video field outputs (see diagram). The shutter speed
must be set before the mode is selected.
Note: It is impossible to use both the Strobe mode and the Long-Term exposure mode at the same time.
