DXC-D30 series DXC-D30WSL/D30WSPL

The Advanced menu of the DXC-D30WSL/D30WSPL

camera differs from the Advanced Menu of the DXC-

D30 cameras in the following ways.

Switchable between 16:9 and 4:3 aspect

ratios

About This Manual

This booklet constitutes an operation manual for DXC-

D30WSL/D30WSPL 16:9 wide-screen type digital

video camera together with the common Operating

Instructions for the DXC-D30 series of digital video

cameras.¹⁾

This book describes only the differences between the

DXC-D30WSL/D30WSPL and other DXC-D30 series

digital video cameras. For information about general

camera operations, handling precautions and so forth,

consult the common Operating Instructions for the

DXC-D30 series cameras.

When reading the common Operating Instructions,

please keep it in mind that “D30” in the camera model

name should be replaced with “D30WS” and that

“701” in the viewfinder model name should be

replaced with “701WS.”

A simple menu operation provides instant switching

between the 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. In 4:3 mode, a

screen equivalent to a 4:3 screen is obtained through

digital processing of the 16:9 video signals produced

by the WS CCD.

Advanced menu page 7

Preset white balance settings are provided for color

temperatures of 3200 K and 5600 K. In addition, a

menu selection allows use of a preset white balance

setting for 3000 K. This feature facilitates shooting

under low color temperature light from for example,

incandescent lamps. It also facilitates color balance

coordination between this camera and those cameras

from other manufacturers whose preset white balance

values are only for relatively low color temperature.

3-inch IT Type Power HAD WS CCD

On page 7 of the DXC-D30 series Advanced menu

(see page 60 of the common Operating Instructions)

there is a menu item A.IRIS. This item can be set to

either STD (standard value) or AI (artificial

intelligence).

In the DXC-D30WSL/D30WSPL, the STD mode has

been enhanced by incorporating functions from the AI

mode. Therefore the A.IRIS menu item was abolished.

Measuring Horizontal Resolution

The suffix number on a cable part number indicates the

length in meters: e.g. a CCZ-A2 is 2 meters long.

(Approximate equivalents in feet: 2 m = 6 ft, 5 m = 16

ft, 10 m = 33 ft, 25 m = 82 ft, 50 m = 164 ft, 100 m =

Horizontal resolution in 16:9 mode

When the horizontal image frame of this camera is

aligned with the width of the 4:3 resolution chart, the

resolution is about 935 TV lines (see Figure A).

However, to measure the resolution of a video camera

precisely, the vertical image frame must be aligned

with the height of the chart. When this is done, the

resolution is approximately 700 (935 × 3/4) TV lines

(see Figure B).

Horizontal resolution in 4:3 mode

In 4:3 mode, frame memory is used to extract the 4:3

area from the 16:9 video signals produced by the WS

CCD, and the 4:3 signals are electronically enlarged.

As a result, the horizontal resolution is approximately

700 TV lines, the same as for 16:9 mode (see Figure

Chapter 1 Overview

Features

Total level control system (TLCS)

3-inch IT type Power HAD CCD

Recording and managing setup data

Dockable with various types of VTRs

Even if the incoming light exceeds the range in which

the standard auto iris can control exposure, the auto

gain control (AGC) or auto exposure (AE) backs up to

ensure proper exposure.

The DXC-D30/D30P Color Video Camera uses ²/3

inch IT type Power HAD CCDs. It outperforms most

of the exiting FIT type CCD cameras for high-end use,

in both picture quality and sensitivity.

• Smear: –125 dB

• Sensitivity: F11.0 (at 3200 K, 2000 lux)

• S/N: 63 dB (DXC-D30) or 61 dB (DXC-D30P)

In addition to the setup menu that is displayed in the

viewfinder screen, the DXC-D30/D30P is equipped

with the following functions to facilitate camera head

setup.

The DXC-D30/D30P docks with the DSR-1/1P

DVCAM VTR to configure the DSR-130/130P digital

camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam

SP VTR to configure the PVW-D30/D30P Betacam SP

camcorder. In addition, the DXC-D30/D30P docks

with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an

adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a

variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.

Dual pixel readout (DPR)

When the gain is set to either 18 dB or 24 dB, the gain

setting can be doubled (6 dB up) without increasing

the noise level.

Setup file system

You can use setup files when making adjustments or

settings. The DXC-D30/D30P comes with factory

preset files that contain shipped settings and you can

freely create user files as well.

Sophisticated image processing

Recording time display

Recording time can be displayed in either of the

following modes.

• Total recording time for all cuts

• Total recording time for current cut

New Functions boost operability

TruEye™ processing makes possible the following

performance features. This new digital signal

processing has brought reproduction of natural colors

to the level achieved by the human eye.

Automatic recording of setup data (when

using DSR-1/1P)

EZ (easy) mode function

When the DXC-D30/D30P is connected to the DSR-1/

1P VTR, two types of setup data can be recorded.

SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings

are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few

seconds. This recorded data can then be used to

reproduce the same shooting conditions in

subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to

identify the causes of problems in previous shots.

SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the

setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the

tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to

other camera heads so that the same setup can be

shared among several camera heads.

When there isn’t time to check the camera head

settings, simply press the EZ mode button to start the

auto adjustment function using standard settings.

There is no need to lose a shot for lack of setup time.

Viewfinder super detail

Video signals for the viewfinder are mixed with V-

DTL signals to make focusing easier.

DynaLatitude™

Enables detailed adjustment of contrast control in each

pixel in accordance with a histogram of luminance

signal levels.

EZ (easy) focus

Press the EZ focus button before shooting to ensure a

quick and accurate focus.

Dual zebra pattern display

Two types of zebra patterns, zebra 1 and zebra 2 can

be displayed simultaneously or independently. The

zebra 1 can be set to the levels ranging from 70 to 90

IRE on the DXC-D30 (or from 70 to 90% on the DXC-

D30P) and the zebra 2 indicates the levels of 100 IRE

for the DXC-D30 or more (or the levels of 100% or

more for the DXC-D30P).

DCC+ (dynamic contrast control plus)

Prevents white breakup when shooting a high intensity

subject, and also prevents color faults in high intensity

subject.

Programmable gain

The amount of gain relative to the GAIN switch setting

(H, M, or L) can be programmed as –3 dB, 0 dB, 3

dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 18 dB+DPR¹⁾, 24 dB,

24 dB+DPR and hyper gain.

Black stretch and compress

Enables control of luminance signal levels in black

areas without changing the hue.

ClipLink™ Function (when using DSR-

1/1P)

Color temperature display

When reading the white balance, the color temperature

is displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Hyper gain

Hyper gain (36 dB, or about 60 times greater than

0 dB) can be easily set via one switch setting. This can

also be done from remote equipment.

Variety of detail corrections

• Skin detail function: this function gives a slightly

softer appearance to the subject’s face. The target

skin color can be automatically set.

• Black halo correction

• Red/green vertical detail correction: this function

performs vertical detail compensation for both red

and green signals.

The ClipLink function can be used at every step from

acquisition to editing. Information necessary for

editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and

efficient editing operations.

Video monitor output with text

The video signal with text superimposed that is shown

in the viewfinder can also be output to an external

video monitor.

Auto tracing white balance

This function automatically traces the white balance,

which constantly changes as lighting conditions

change. Auto tracing white balance is especially

useful when there is no time to manually adjust the

white balance or when shooting moves between indoor

and outdoor locations.

When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when

you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the

video image at that point is recorded on the tape in

compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the

time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark

OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with

other editing point data (such as the cassette number

and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink

log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can

also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that

only the good scenes are taken up from cassette

memory when editing.

Camera head microphone output indicator

An indication ≥ appears in the viewfinder whenever a

signal is being output from the camera head’s

microphone.

• Horizontal detail frequency control

Intensified auto iris control

1-kHz reference signal output

Along with a color bar, a 1-kHz reference signal can

also be output.

In addition to the standard auto iris, the intelligent auto

iris function adjusts the lens iris to compensate back

lighting or spot lighting.

When a shooting of the scene completes, press the

VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

The ClipLink function can be used at all stages from

shooting to editing. This function makes editing

operations more efficient by automatically recording

index pictures (Mark IN point images) that provide a

searchable index of recorded scenes, along with other

data such as time code and scene numbers.

This pauses recording.

The VTR then returns to the paused state.

11^{Set up the VTR according to your shooting}

Procedure for Shooting” (page 39).

For details of VTR setup and operations, see your

VTR’s operating instructions.

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by

pressing the NG button again before you start

shooting the next scene (the “NG” display in the

viewfinder disappears, which means that the

previous scene has been re-designated as “OK”).

Each time you press the NG button before starting

shooting the next scene, the status of the previous

scene toggles between “NG” and “OK”. It is

always the last selected status that will take effect

and be stored in the cassette memory.

Chapter 4 Viewfinder Screen Indications and Menus

White Balance Adjustment

Adjusting the white balance ensures that as lighting

conditions change white objects remain white in the

image and tones remain natural.

The color of light emitted varies from one light source

to another, and as the lighting changes the apparent

color of an illuminated subject changes. It is therefore

necessary to adjust the white balance each time the

principal lighting source changes.

Make the following settings on the camera.

• POWER switch: ON SAVE

• OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch: one of the CAM

positions

• Lens iris selector: A (automatic)

• ATW button: off

Set the FILTER control according to the lighting

conditions. (See page 39.)

Set the W. BAL switch to A or B.

Saving an Appropriate White

Balance Value in Memory

Arrange a white subject (paper, cloth, etc.) under

the same lighting conditions as for shooting, and

zoom in on it so that as far as possible the whole

screen is white.

The minimum white area requirements for the

adjustment are shown in the following figure.

You can save two white balance values in separate

memories, A and B. Unless changed, the saved values

are retained for approximately ten years, even when

the camera is powered off.

Once a value is saved, you can automatically restore

the adjustment by moving the W. BAL switch to the A

or B position. This makes shooting under alternating

lighting conditions easy.

Area of white within this

rectangle should be

equivalent to at least 10% of

the image area.

Center of the screen

Separate white balance values for each

FILTER control setting

In the default case, as described above, the same two A

and B white balance values apply to all settings of the

FILTER control. It is possible, however, to change the

AWB MEM menu setting (see page 58) so that there

are eight possibly different values for each of the A

and B positions and for the four FILTER control

settings.

TRY AGAIN

To save the white balance adjustment for different

lighting conditions, repeat steps 2 to 4 above. You can

save two different values for the white balance, in

memories A and B.

Adjustment of the white balance to match the light

source is essential to ensure correct color rendering.

The color of a light source is indicated as a color

temperature in kelvins (K). It is higher for bluish light,

and lower for reddish light. When the camera is

shipped it is adjusted for use with video lights (halogen

lamps with a color temperature of 3200 K). For use

with other light sources, therefore, adjustment is

required.

First use the FILTER control to set the approximate

color temperature, then carry out white balance

adjustment.

The following table shows typical color temperature

values for different light sources.

The ATW function continuously adjusts the white

balance automatically to adapt to changes in lighting

conditions.

(2) Check that the subject is completely

white, then retry the adjustment.

(3) The color temperature may be

outside the range of the camera. Fit

an appropriate color temperature

conversion filter, then retry the

adjustment.

Note

Notes

Depending on the shooting conditions, automatic

adjustment may not necessarily give optimum results.

For the best possible results, use the W. BAL switch.

• When using a camera control unit, if the W/B

BALANCE switch of the camera control unit is set to

PRESET or MANUAL, it is not possible to carry out

white balance adjustment on the camera.

• When using a CCU-M5/M5P Camera Control Unit,

make sure that the MODE switch of the CCU-M5/

M5P is in the CAM position.

Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings

Black Balance Adjustment

Shutter Settings

Correct adjustment of the black balance is important

for optimum operation of a video camera. It is

necessary when using the camera for the first time or

after a significant period out of use, and also when

there has been a sudden change in temperature.

The adjustment value is saved in memory, and

readjustment is not normally necessary after powering

the camera off or simply when lighting conditions

change.

This section covers the settings for electronic shutter

speed, CLS (clear scan ) and EVS function.

The new value for the shutter speed or clear scan

frequency and EVS setting remains set until changed,

even when the camera is powered off.

Notes

• When using a camera control unit, if the W/B

BALANCE switch of the camera control unit is set to

MANUAL, it is not possible to carry out black

balance adjustment on the camera.

• When using a CCU-M5/M5P Camera Control Unit,

make sure that the MODE switch of the CCU-M5/

M5P is in the CAM position.

Shutter speeds

There are five shutter speeds, from ¹/¹⁰⁰s (DXC-D30)

or ¹/⁶⁰s (DXC-D30P) to ¹/2000 s. Increasing the shutter

speed reduces blurring when shooting a fast-moving

subject. It is also possible to reduce flicker when

shooting under fluorescent lighting by changing the

shutter speed.

If black balance adjustment cannot be

completed automatically

The warning message “AUTO BLACK -NG-” appears

in the viewfinder.

Make the necessary corrections, then carry out the

process again.

CLS (Clear Scan) function

When shooting a computer screen or projected image,

horizontal bands may appear in the camera image.

This is because the vertical scan frequency of the

computer-generated image is different from the

vertical scan frequency of the video system. The clear

scan function allows you to select a vertical scan

frequency to reduce this interference.

Set the SHUTTER switch to the ON position.

Adjusting the eyepiece focus

Depending on the eyesight of the camera operator —

whether longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal

position of the viewfinder image varies. Adjust the

eyepiece focus to get the clearest viewfinder image for

your eyesight. First focus the image with the lens,

then adjust the eyepiece focusing knob. The

adjustment range is from –3 to 0 diopters¹⁾(default

when shipped is 0 diopters).

Using an optional part allows you to modify the

adjustment range to –2 to +1 diopters or –0.5 to +3

diopters.

For details, consult your Sony dealer.

Characteristics of CCD Sensors

It is important to fit the lens correctly, as otherwise

damage may result. Be sure to refer to the section

“Fitting the Lens” (See page 26).

The DXC-D30/D30P provides an easy push-button

function that designates an active skin tone area.

The following effects may appear in the image. They

are characteristic of cameras using CCDs (charge-

coupled devices), and do not indicate a malfunction.

You can adjust the specified color using setup files.

Perform the same procedure with the skin detail

correction to designate the target area .

Do not cover the unit while operating

Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause

excessive internal heat build-up.

Vertical smear

OFF

When shooting a very bright object, such as a light, the

highlight tends to produce vertical tails. This effect is

much reduced in this camera.

Turn the POWER switch on with holding down the

UP/ON button.

Operation and storage

Avoid storing or operating the unit in the following

conditions.

Viewfinder

This causes the area detect cursor to be shown in

the viewfinder (for 10 seconds).

• Do not leave the camera with the eyepiece pointing

directly at the sun.

The eyepiece lens can concentrate the sun’s rays and

melt the interior of the viewfinder.

• Do not use the viewfinder close to strong magnetic

fields. This can cause picture distortion.

Place the area detect cursor on the target, then

press the SKIN DTL SET button.

While this procedure is being performed, the menu

is not displayed.

This designates the correction area, which is

indicated by a zebra pattern, and the indication

“SKIN AREA: ±0” appears again. If the area

detect cursor disappears before designating the

area, press the SKIN DTL SET button again to

display the cursor. (Return to step 2.)

When advanced menu page 11 appears, change the

value of the SKIN SAT or SKIN HUE to adjust

color in the area designated in step 3.

Shipping

Use the optional LC-421 Carrying Case for optimal

shipping.

If sending the camera by truck, ship, air or other

transportation service, first store it in the carrying case,

then pack the carrying case in the supplied carton (or

an equivalent).

Note

Set the SKIN DTL to 1.0 in basic menu page 3 if the

skin detail correction is unnecessary.

Press the UP/ON or DOWN/OFF button to change

the SKIN AREA value (–99 to +99)so that the

zebra pattern may be displayed in the target area.

Use basic menu page 3 to set the correction level

(see page 52).

Care of the unit

Remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the lenses or

optical filters using a blower.

If the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft,

dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a

little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use

organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these

may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish

of the unit.

You can also change color in the designated area

(see the following section).

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit,

contact your supplier or Sony service representative.
