Features  
Superior Picture Quality  
DSP(Digital Signal Processing)  
The DXC-990/990P incorporates a new Sony 10-bit DSP technology.  
DSP enables a variety of enhancement features and increases picture reliability  
that cannot be achieved with analog signal processing.  
TM  
– New ExwaveHAD CCDs  
The DXC-990/990P incorporates newly developed 1/2 type IT (Interline Transfer)  
ExwaveHAD technology. Inheriting the unique sensing technology of  
the DXC-950/950P, the DXC-990/990P attains a high sensitivity of F11 at 2000 lx  
while the improved HAD sensor structure drastically reduces smear level. This  
permits images of the highest quality to be captured in difficult lighting  
conditions. With the high packing density of these CCD image sensors and their  
accurate spacial offsetting, a remarkably high horizontal resolution of 850 TV  
lines is achieved. The combination of ExwaveHAD technology, improved  
electronic circuitry and advanced video processing results in a high  
signal-to-noise ratio of 63 dB (NTSC) and 62 dB (PAL).  
The DXC-990/990P features several DSP functions for powerful picture controls.  
Picture Enhancement Controls  
Digital Detail  
Adjusts the sharpness of the object outline with minimal noise.  
This feature also enables horizontal detail frequency control.  
Linear Matrix  
Provides sophisticated electronic adjustment for accurate color reproduction by  
adjusting color saturation and hue.  
Picture Contrast Controls  
DynaLatitude Function  
Automatically adjusts contrast corresponding to the brightest signal level of the  
entire image. Clear images can be captured if both bright and dark areas exist  
within the image.

DCC + (Dynamic Contrast Control Plus)  
Partial Enhance  
Avoids hue factor distortion that can occur when subjects are very bright. DCC+  
also automatically adjusts the knee point according to the contrast of the image.  
Allows a particular color to be selected, and its hue, saturation and detail  
altered. In addition, the detail produced by the high resolution of the camera can  
be softened or emphasized in certain parts of the image by the Partial Enhance  
function.

stretching or compressing the range of the image.

Characteristics of Spectral Sensitivity of DXC-990 & DXC-990P  
(This includes CCD, PRISM and Optical Filter Data)  
Knee Control  
By adjusting the knee, a knee point and knee slope are set so that the  
highlighted areas of the picture can be clearly reproduced.  
High/Normal/Low switchable  
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.

Other Features  
Bayonet mount  
The DXC-990/990P is equipped with a bayonet mount so it can  
adapt various kinds of high quality, professional lenses. The strong  
points of bayonet mount lenses include higher sensitivity and lower  
color shading compared with C-mount lenses. A hot-shoe  
connection is also provided to eliminate the need for a lens-to-  
camera interconnecting cable, providing easy remote control of  
zoom, focus and iris functions.  
AE(Automatic Exposure)  
AE automatically controls the level of brightness by varying the exposure times.  
This is done by combining the CCD IRIS® function, AGC (Automatic Gain Control),  
and Auto Iris function of the lens. The DXC-990/990P is equipped with a  
number of convenient AE modes.  
AE Level  
Scene Files and User Files  
Adjusts the standard brightness level by up to + / - 0.5 F-stop in a lens iris.  
Scene Files: The preset files are set to accommodate four different  
situations (Standard/Microscope/Full Auto/Strobe). Copying the  
settings between two files is also possible (File A/B).  
User Files: Allows user to set two custom parameters in the menu  
for instant recall.  
AE Speed  
Selectable AE conversion speed to suit applications under varying lighting  
conditions.  
AE Area

AE Area is a light metering system that includes six different modes.  
High sensitivity mode used for shooting objects in very low light  
conditions.

Electronic Shutter Functions  
Field or Frame integration mode  
The DXC-990/990P has the ability to switch between Field or Frame  
CCD integration modes. Field integration is effective for capturing  
moving objects, while Frame integration is ideal for capturing still  
images.  
Variable speeds  
A variable speed electronic shutter is built into the CCD imager, making it  
possible to capture blur-free, clear images of high speed moving objects.  
The DXC-990/990P features 11 different shutter speeds (OFF to 1/100,000),  
including flickerless mode.  
White Balance modes  
AWB, ATW-Normal/Wide, MANU, Preset 3200K/5600K  
Clear Scan™ Function  
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.  
Extended Genlock  
(VBS Genlock and HD/VD in/out)  
Allows for synchronization of signals with frame grabber boards.  
CCD IRIS Function  
Synchronization capabilities  
(Strobe function, WEN output)  
Realizes full vertical resolution of fast moving objects.  
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.
