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).  
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.  
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.  
Detail Corrections by DSP  
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.  
the operator more freedom to shoot subjects in high light  
situations.  
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.  
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  
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.  
The improved CCD process combined with the camera’s new  
digital circuits means a reduction in CCD noise. The signal-  
to-noise ratio is improved to 63dB, one of the highest  
specification in the industry.  
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.  
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.  
Real Time Self Diagnostics  
Red Vertical Detail Correction  
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.  
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.  
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 high-  
end professional camera.  
Horizontal Detail Frequency Control  
The Horizontal Detail Frequency can be controlled by the VF  
Menu System according to the user’s preference.  
High Picture Quality  
Power HAD CCD (DXC-D30 only )  
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.  
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.

EZ Focus Function  
File Management from Personal  
Computers  
EZ Focus is a function to assist focusing without stopping  
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.  
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  
Convenient Features  
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.  
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.  
FILE position  
(VF Menu System for File Management)  
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.  
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.  
Adjustable Black Stretch and  
Compress  
Enhanced Functions for Picture  
Creation  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Dual Zebra  
Scene Files  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
System Versatility  
Dockable to a Variety of VTRs  
The DXC-D30/D30WS is equipped with two types of  
connectors - the new ‘Pro 76-pin Digitalconnector and the  
conventional ‘Pro 50-pin’ connector. The Pro 76-pin Digital  
connector supplies 4:2:2 10-bit component digital output,  
which allows expandability for unlimited applications and  
future digital interfacing, with a variety of devices. Via the Pro  
76-pin Digital connector, the DSR-1 DVCAM Recorder can be  
directly docked to the DXC-D30/D30WS. Through the Pro

In addition to the features described  
previously, the DXC-D30WS has the  
following features.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Freeze Mix Function  
Time Code Superimposed during  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
TAKE button  
NG button  
ClipLink System  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
* 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.  
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.
