DVCAM Digital Recorder via a component
digital interface, “Pro 76-pin Digital”
connector.
professional digital camera line-up. The
DXC-D30WS incorporates three Power
HAD WS™ CCDs which have been
specifically designed for a 16:9 aspect
The DXC-D30/D30WS also offers superior
in the operational convenience.
Responding to the increasing demands
from professionals, it provides a variety
of key automatic functions. With all
these features packed in its compact
camera body, the DXC-D30/D30WS
creates a new world of acquisition in
a wide spectrum of applications.
The DXC-D30 is a digital signal processing camera, and its sister
model DXC-D30WS is a wide-screen camera for the 16:9 aspect ratio
with a switching capability to also capture the image in a 4:3 aspect
ratio. Both models have the following features.
Sony State-of-the-art Digital Camera Signal
Processing Technology
The DXC-D30/D30WS incorporates state-of-the-art digital
camera processing technology which is designed to fully
exploit the benefits of DSP (Digital Signal Processing).
■ TruEye™ Process
The TruEye digital signal process employed in the DXC-D30/
D30WS is a true innovation in camera signal processing,
made possible by Sony digital signal technology.
In conventional RGB analog or digital processing, some
nonlinear signal processing occurs after gamma correction,
such as white clip and knee correction, and can result in hue
factor distortion - a phenomenon that is particularly obvious in
extreme high-light conditions. This significant problem is
totally eliminated by the TruEye process which manages video
signal data according to three factors - brightness, hue and
saturation - so that color in even a wide dynamic range can be
reproduced as faithfully as by the human eye without hue
factor distortion.
Based on the TruEye system, the DXC-D30/D30WS also
offers a unique feature called DynaLatitude™ which adaptively
manages the contrast of each pixel according to a histogram of
video signal level distribution. The DynaLatitude feature
brings a new dimension to other technologies such as
Dynamic Contrast Control (DCC). The DynaLatitude feature
optimizes video level distribution based on video signal
histograms in order to utilize the limited dynamic range of the
video signal standard.
■ Real Time Self Diagnostics
Even though the DXC-D30/D30WS was designed to be highly
reliable, it employs a powerful self diagnostic system which
informs the operator, in real time, of the connecting conditions
of the LSI (Large Scale Integration) circuits and printed circuit
boards, as well as electrical connection conditions between the
camera and a VTR. Even if the operator is not familiar with
digital circuitry, the DXC-D30/D30WS informs them of exactly
what is happening.
■ High Picture Quality
The horizontal resolution and the signal to noise ratio of the
DXC-D30/D30WS are ranked among the highest in the
industry. The Modulation Depth of the DXC-D30 is 55%
(typical) at 5MHz and that of the DXC-D30WS is 70% (typical)
in the 16:9 mode. The newly developed digital circuits
drastically reduce the aliasing phenomenon, which was found
even in conventional digital cameras, while maintaining the
high resolution.
■ High Stability and
Uniformity
Having DSP technology, the DXC-D30/
D30WS assures a high degree of stability
through its video output. The picture
tone is kept uniform among multiple
DXC-D30/D30WS’s.
■ Detail Corrections by DSP
Skin Detail with Auto Detection of Active Area
The Skin Detail function in the DXC-D30/D30WS gives the
subject a pleasing facial complexion, while maintaining the
sharpness of the other areas. The designated active area of
Skin Detail can be set with the digital circuits by simply
adjusting the Area Detect Cursor on the viewfinder screen and
SKIN SET button on a camera side panel. The color range of
the Skin Detail active area and Skin Detail level can be also set
by the viewfinder menu system. The range of color detection
for detail correction is 360 degrees.
Black Halo-Free, Clean Detail
The DXC-D30/D30WS provides edges with a natural line and
appropriate thickness in areas with extreme dark-to-light or
light-to-dark transitions, by digitally optimizing the level of
detail signal to each of the transition points, not by just
clipping the detail signal. Consequently, the ‘Black Halo’ effect
which is seen as thick black edges surrounding an extremely
bright object, as well as a stepping diagonal edge, have been
dramatically reduced.
Red Vertical Detail Correction
The Vertical Detail Correction signal, which is digitally created
from both the Green and Red signals, assures image
sharpness when shooting highly saturated subjects or subjects
bathed in red light.
Horizontal Detail Frequency Control
The Horizontal Detail Frequency can be controlled by the VF
Menu System according to the user’s preference.
Power HAD CCD (DXC-D30 only )
The DXC-D30 incorporates three Power HAD CCD sensors.
These sensors feature a minimal smear level equivalent to
conventional FIT CCDs, which addresses the tough demands
of the high-end production field. The total performance of the
Power HAD CCD sensor approaches that of the standard FIT.
■ Low Smear Level
Vertical Smear Level of the DXC-D30 is -125dB which is the
same level as conventional FIT sensors. This feature will give
DXC-D30
DXC-D30WS
PVW-D30
DSR-130
the operator more freedom to shoot subjects in high light
situations.
■ High Sensitivity
The Power HAD sensor in the DXC-D30 achieves a high
sensitivity of F11.0 (at 2000 lx, 3200K) and minimum
illumination of 0.5 lx. This feature affords a greater
opportunity to shoot under extremely low-light conditions.
■ High S/N Ratio
The improved CCD process combined with the camera’s new
digital circuits means a reduction in CCD noise. The signalto-noise ratio is improved to 63dB, one of the highest
specification in the industry.
Enhanced Ease of Operation
Responding to the increasing demands for more automatic
functions in a professional level camera, the DXC-D30/D30WS
boosts several new and improved functions sure to please the
most demanding camera person.
■ Total Level Control System (TLCS)
Even if the incoming light exceeds the range of the automatic
iris control either above or below, by using the iris control in
combination with Auto Gain Control (AGC) and CCD AE (Auto
Exposure, the application of variable shutter of CCD), the
DXC-D30/D30WS offers proper picture exposure. This
function is called TLCS. While still maintaining low-noise
characteristics, TLCS affords ease of operation for this highend professional camera.

down the lens. By just pushing the EZ Focus button, the iris
is automatically opened so that the depth of field is reduced to
make critical focusing easier. At the same time, the electronic
shutter is automatically set to obtain the correct light level.
The EZ Focus function is overridden while recording.
■ File Management from Personal
Computers
The REMOTE connector (10-pin) of the DXC-D30/D30WS is
designed in accordance with the RS-232C standard. This
feature also makes it possible to manage the setup file data
from personal computers with proper Sony protocol.
■ New EZ Mode Function
Instantly setting a camera to a standard or an auto position is
done by simply pressing the EZ Mode button. The DXC-D30/
D30WS has two alternative EZ Modes - STANDARD or
CUSTOM. When set to CUSTOM EZ Mode, the camera setting
is changed in accordance with the selected setup file.
■ Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)
In the DXC-D30/D30WS, tracing of the white area in Auto
Tracing White Balance (ATW) is fast enough to meet
professional demands. In addition, the accuracy of the white
balance adjustment is enhanced.
Enhanced Functions for Picture
Creation
■ Camera Setup Files
The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with a convenient
VF (Viewfinder) Menu System; a control menu with
superimposed characters on the VF screen. Depending on the
requirement, the menu contents can be selected with the
SETUP (STD/FILE) selector switch.
STD position (Standard VF Menu System)
When the SETUP switch is set to the STD position, setting of
the camera parameters or defining of the switch functions can
be done with the VF Menu System, the same way as with
conventional Sony cameras.
FILE position
(VF Menu System for File Management)
When the SETUP switch is set to FILE position, a total of eight
setup files can be used with the dedicated VF Menu System.
These files are as follows.
Factory Preset Files
Five Factory Preset Files are set by Sony to accommodate the
five most common lighting situations, such as STANDARD,
HIGH SATURATION and FLORESCENT.
User Files
Three User Files allow the operator to set camera parameters
which match their own particular shooting situations. User
Files can be easily made by modifying a Factory Preset File.
■ Scene Files
With the optional Sony RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel with
powerful remote capabilities, 16 scene files can be created and
stored. Almost all the parameters for camera operation and
camera set-up can be stored into scene files, and the most
suitable file for each shooting situation can be instantly
recalled using the menu button on the RCP-TX7.
■ Setup Data Management with
DVCAM Cassette
The DXC-D30/D30WS combined with the DSR-1 has the
following camera data management;
SetupNavi™ — Camera Setup File Storage
The DXC-D30/D30WS combined with the DSR-1 has the
SetupNavi function to store the User Files or Factory Preset
Files of the DXC-D30/D30WS directly onto VAUX (Video
Auxiliary) data territory of the DVCAM cassette tape. The data
can be stored on or recalled from the tape via the VF Menu
System.
Using the DVCAM cassette as a medium, the setup data can
be transferred to other DXC-D30/D30WS’s.
SetupLog™ — Automatic Recording of
Camera Setting Data
Even without using the file system, the information of each
setting parameter of the DXC-D30/D30WS for every shot is
automatically recorded by the DSR-1 on the VAUX territory in
each video track of the DVCAM cassette tape. This function is
called SetupLog. It is useful not only for the camera operator
if there is a need to re-take the same shot, but also for
checking the operating conditions during a particular shoot.
Convenient Features
■ Remote Control of Hyper Gain
Hyper Gain is a convenient function for shooting under
extremely low-light situations without using a lighting system.
It instantly increases the gain-up value to be +36dB in total,
combining the electronic gain-up of +30dB and the Dual Pixel
Readout effects (equivalent to +6dB gain-up). The Hyper Gain
can be assigned to be the highest gain position (H) of the
GAIN selector switch (H/M/L). Consequently, Hyper Gain can
be switched on or off remotely from the RM-M7G, CCU-M5,
CCU-M7 or the CCU-TX7 system.
■ Adjustable Black Stretch and
Compress
The contrast in the black area of the image can be adjusted by
the black stretch/ compress control function. Black Stretch
emphasizes the contrast in the dark areas, while Black
Compress enhances or deepens the darkness.
■ Dual Zebra
The DXC-D30/D30WS has two types of zebra patterns ‘ZEBRA 1’ and ‘ZEBRA 2’. ‘ZEBRA 1’ can be set within a range
of 70 IRE to 90 IRE by 1 IRE. ‘ZEBRA 2’ provides a zebra
pattern in the area with more than 100% video level. Dual
zebra display - to show both ZEBRA 1 and 2 - as well as
display of either one is possible.
■ Monitor Out
The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with a MONITOR OUT
connector (BNC). Via this connector, the user can check the
shooting conditions by displaying a color picture with
characters superimposed on a connected external monitor.
This is in addition to the image displayed on the unit’s
viewfinder.

In addition to the features described
previously, the DXC-D30WS has the
following features.
Power HAD WS™ CCD
The DXC-D30WS is equipped with three chips of newly
developed 2/3-inch Power HAD WS IT CCDs with a high
packing density of 520,000 pixels (total)/ 480,000 pixels
(effective). Since the CCD is designed for the 16:9 aspect
ratio, with a capability to be switched to 4:3, high quality
images can be obtained in the 16:9 mode without any image
loss. High sensitivity of F11 (at 2000 lx, 3200K), remarkable
signal to noise ratio of 63dB and a virtually invisible smear
level of -120dB are achieved.
DXF-701WS
The DXF-701WS is a new 1.5-inch black and white
viewfinder developed for the DXC-D30WS, with the
following features. The DXF-701WS can also be used
with the DXC-D30 in the 4:3 mode.
■ Aspect Ratio Adjustment
With the DXF-701WS, the viewfinder scanning size can be
switched into AUTO or FULL, using the viewfinder control
menu. In AUTO mode, viewfinder scanning size is
automatically changed according to the camera aspect ratio
(4:3 or 16:9), as shown in (A) and (B). In FULL mode, the
image is displayed using the full size of the screen. This
means that the 16:9 image in FULL mode is vertically enlarged
as (C) shows, while the 4:3 image in FULL mode is the same
as AUTO mode (A). As a result, the shape in the 16:9 picture
captured in FULL mode is not exactly the same as what it
should be, but the use of the whole screen in FULL mode
provides greater viewing comfort.
■ V/H Detail Control
Both vertical and horizontal detail levels can be variably
adjusted by the PEAKING potentiometer on the viewfinder
body, while monitoring the ratio of both detail levels.
■ Two Red REC Tally Lamps
In addition to the standard REC tally above the viewfinder
screen, another REC tally is located below the screen to
prevent overlooking the REC tally indication. This second tally
lamp is ON/OFF switchable through the ADVANCED MENU.
16:9 and 4:3 Switchable
Thanks to the adoption of the new wide aspect CCDs and
digital signal processing, the DXC-D30WS can operate in both
16:9 widescreen and conventional 4:3 mode without any
additional conversion equipment.
16:9 ID Pulse
When shooting 16:9 images, the DXC-D30WS automatically
adds a wide aspect ID pulse signal, which indicates that the
picture is shot in 16:9 aspect ratio, on the video output signal
from the camera VBS OUT, MONITOR OUT and 50-pin/76-pin
interface. The 16:9 aspect ratio picture shot by the
DXC-D30WS can be recorded and played back with Sony
DSR-1/30/60/80/85 DVCAM Players/Recorders, SVO-5800
V-VHS Recorder, SVP-5600 S-VHS Player and all types of
UVW/PVW Players/Recorders.
Selectable Preset White Balance
The color temperature of the preset white balance can be
switched to conventional 3200K or 3000K. This makes it
possible for the DXC-D30WS to capture natural color
reproduction even under a low color temperature lighting
condition.

■ TAKE Tally Lamp
The DXF-701WS also has a TAKE tally lamp for use with the
ClipLink system. The TAKE tally can also be used as a second
tally lamp for CCU operations.
■ Reliable and Ergonomic Design
A diecast aluminum body makes the DXF-701WS extremely
durable. The viewfinder’s position can be adjusted in a broad
horizontal plane according to the operator’s preference. The
large diameter eye cup not only provides greater comfort but
also simplifies focusing. A wide range of diopter adjustments
(-3 to 0) is provided to compensate for differences in eyesight.

High Quality Betacam SP
Camcorder
The PVW-D30 is a Betacam SP PRO2000 Camcorder
consisting of the DXC-D30 and the PVV-3 Betacam SP
Recorder. The high quality picture of the DXC-D30 can be
directly recorded onto the Betacam SP format - one of the best
analog recording formats currently available in the
professional field. The status information and data from the
PVV-3, such as time code, recording audio level, remaining
battery power, and remaining tape time can be superimposed
on the viewfinder.
(Note: These features and functions are also available with the
DXC-D30WS when combined with the PVV-3.)
Acquisition Tool for the DVCAM
System
The DSR-130 Two-piece DVCAM Camcorder - the
combination of the DXC-D30 and the DSR-1 Digital Recorder
- is an acquisition tool based on the DVCAM recording format.
The following are the basic features of the DSR-130.
(Note: The following features and functions are also available
with the DXC-D30WS combined with the DSR-1.)
■ DVCAM Recording Format
Sony’s DVCAM recording format is designed for professional
use. While maintaining the playback compatibility with the
consumer DV recording format, higher picture quality is
achieved by the wider track pitch of the DVCAM format.
■ Equivalent to One-piece Camcorder
The DXC-D30 and the DSR-1 have been carefully designed so
that the DSR-130 can operate just like a one-piece camcorder.
The recording status and the warning messages from the
DSR-1 can be superimposed on the viewfinder of the
DXC-D30. The body of the DSR-1 and the DXC-D30 are
made of magnesium, which makes the DSR-130 a lightweight
yet durable camcorder.
When recording with the DSR-1, both DVCAM Mini
Cassette tapes (PDVM -40ME/ 32ME/ 22ME/ 12ME or
PDVM-40N/32N) and DVCAM Standard Cassette tapes
(PDV-184ME/ 124ME/ 94ME/ 64ME or PDV-184N/ 124N/
64N) can be used without any adaptors. Maximum recording
time of PDVM and PDV tapes are 40 minutes and 184 minutes
respectively.
Time Code Superimposed during
Playback
For operational convenience while shooting, the time code is
superimposed on the viewfinder screen or MONITOR OUT
screen, even during playback.
CH-1 Audio Level Control
The CH-1 audio level can be adjusted with the level control
located on the front panel of the DXC-D30 while recording with
the DSR-1.
Edit Search
The DSR-1 incorporates an Edit Search function. Its control
button is located on the side panel of the DXC-D30 to afford
easy access while shooting.
Freeze Mix Function
When the camera operator needs to shoot a subject in the
same framework as that of a previously recorded subject, it
was very difficult to perfectly place the subject in the same
position as the previous shot with conventional cameras. With
the DSR-130, a picture previously recorded on the DVCAM
tape can be superimposed on the viewfinder screen, so that
the camera operator can easily frame or position the subject
just like a previous shot.

Index Picture
The ClipLink system is a comprehensive shooting information
and image management system necessary for the total digital
production process, ranging from acquisition to editing. The
ClipLink system in combination with Sony’s new digital video
products such as the DSR-130 Digital Camcorder, the Digital
VTRs (DSR-85/80/60), and the ES-7 EditStation™ System will
enhance the productivity and operating efficiency throughout
the entire video production process.
■ ClipLink Data
The DSR-130 automatically generates two types of useful
information while shooting, which drastically reduces the work
traditionally required during the video tape editing process.
One is Index Picture which is a digitally miniaturized picture of
the video image of the “in” point of each shot - MARK IN
point*. Index Pictures are recorded on the DVCAM tape. The
other is shot information needed for the editing process, such
as reel number, scene number, take number, time code of
MARK IN/ MARK OUT point*, and OK/NG status. This
reference data is stored in the Cassette Memory of the DVCAM
Cassette Tape.
The combination of these two types of information is called
ClipLink data. The ClipLink data can be quickly uploaded to
the EditStation System from the DVCAM Digital VTRs, so that
the selection of usable shots can be done using only visual
ClipLink information displayed on the monitor of the
EditStation. The ClipLink system eliminates the work of
having to load all the shots on the tape to the EditStation
System.
■ TAKE button
The DXC-D30 has a TAKE button on the front of the camera.
Depending on the situation, the user can assign it to operate
either in a MARK or a CUE mode using the VF Menu System.
In the MARK mode, it triggers to record the time code of
MARK IN or MARK OUT points* as well as an Index Picture of
the MARK IN point during shooting everytime it is pushed.
The MARK button is useful, for example, if the program
origination is based on a certain sequence.
In the CUE mode, the moment the recording is started or
ended is regarded as the MARK IN or MARK OUT point. In
addition to this, the time code of the CUE point** is recorded
by pushing the CUE button. Logging of the CUE point is
useful for shooting events where the shooting sequence is
undetermined or very changeable.
* MARK IN/ MARK OUT point:
Starting/ Ending point of a duration to be used for
editing. In the ClipLink System, the Index Picture of the
MARK IN point is automatically recorded as well.
**CUE point:
The point where an operator wants to review work at a
later time. The CUE point does not accompany an Index
Picture.
■ NG button
NG (No Good) status for each take can be input by pushing an
NG button on the DXC-D30 during or after shooting. Unless
the NG button is pushed, OK status is automatically input.
■ RM-LG1
The RM-LG1 is a new Remote Control Unit specially designed
for the remote control of ClipLink and VTR REC operation. It
has two switches, which can be assigned by the operator from
four choices: VTR, MARK, CUE or NG.
