Key Features

New Technology Provides Ease of Use
The DXC-390/390P is a 1/3" type DSP 3-CCD color video camera which incorporates Exwave HAD® technology—a new technology that greater improves camera sensitivity (F8 at 2000 lx) while reducing smear. Incorporating new 10-bit DSP technology, a user firendly on-screen menu allows for simple control of various features including DynaLatitude™, Partial Enhance, and a wide selection of Automatic Exposure (AE) modes. Moreover, the DXC-390/390P is very compact [56(W) x 50(H) x 128(D)] and lightweight (370g), making it easy to install.

High Picture Quality
Incorporating three 1/3" type IT CCDs, the DXC-390/P produces a high resolution of 800 TV lines (768 x 494 pixels) and a high S/N ratio of 62 dB (NTSC), 61 dB PAL). Featuring the new Exwave HAD, the DXC-390P provides excellent sensitivity and low smear levels. Moreover, the DXC-390/P incorporates DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, resulting in images with higher picture quality and color accuracy .

On-Screen Menu
The on-screen menu feature allows for quick and easy picture adjustments while viewing the image. All camera control functions are accessible from the side panel of the camera or through the optional RM-C950.

DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
The DXC-390/P incorporates new 10-bit DSP technology. DSP enables a variety of enhancement features and increases picture reliability. The DXC-390/P has several DSP functions for powerful picture controls.


Specifications

  • PICTURE CONTRAST CONTROLS:
    Black Stretch: Black stretch/compress enhances the gradiation of dark areas by stretching or compressing the range of the brightness signal in these areas.
    DynaLatitude: Automatically adjusts contrast corresponding to the brightness signal level of the entire image. Clear images can be captured if both bright and dark areas exist within the image.
  • PICTURE ENHANCE CONTROLS:
    Digital Detail: Adjusts the sharpness of the object outline with minimal noise. This feature also enables horizontal detail frequency control.
    Linear Matrix: Enhances color reproduction by adjusting the color saturation and hue.
    Partial Enhance: Enhances or softens a specific color by altering its hue, saturation and detail.
  • AE (AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE):
    AE Level: Adjusts the standard brightness level by up to +/- one F-stop in a lens iris.
    AE Speed: Selectable AE (Auto Exposure) conversion speed to suit applications under varying lighting conditions.
    AE Area: AE Area is a light metering system that includes six different modes.
    1. MULTI: concentrates on center of image area
    2. LARGE: 75% of entire image area
    3. MID: 50% of entire image area
    4. SPOT: 25% of entire image area
    5. SLIT: vertical slit
    6. MANUAL: user defined (manual) setting of area and size
  • ELECTRONIC SHUTTER FUNCTIONS:
    Variable Speeds: A variable speed electronic shutter is built into the CCD imager, making it possible to caputre blur-free, clear images of high speed moving objects. The DXC-390/P features 10 different shutter speeds (OFF to 1/100,000), including flickerness mode..
    Long Term Exposure: The shutter speed can be manually selected from 1 to 255 frames (field mode) or 2 to 256 frames (frame mode) in one-frame steps or from 0.1 to 8.0 seconds.
    Clear Scan™: The Clear Scan feature eliminates the horizontal bands that appear across the screen when shooting a computer display. This is achieved by matching the camera shutter speed with the display scanning frequency.
    CCD IRIS: When the level of incoming light exceeds the auto iris adjustment range, the CCD IRIS function automatically reduces the exposure in a range equivalent to 10 F-stops.
  • OTHER FEATURES:
    Compact and Lightweight: 56(W) x 50(H) x 128(D) mm (2 1/4 x 2 x 5 1/8 inches), 370 g (13 oz.)
    C Mount: extensive choice of lens
    Scene Files and User Files: allows user to set two custom parameters in the menu for instant recall
    Hyper Gain (+ 30 dB): useful to capture images in dark conditions
    Color Shading Compensation: allows for verification of color on microscope
    RGB, Y/C and Composite Video Outputs
    RS-232C Controllable: easy control and operation of camera by external computer
    White Balance Modes: (AWB, ATW-Normal/Wide, MANU, Preset 3200K/5600K)
    Extended Genlock (VBS Genlock and HD/VD in/out): allows for synchronization of signals with frame grabber boards
    Synchronization Capabilities (Strobe function, WEN output): realizes full vertical resolution of fast moving objects
