Features

Wide-Screen and Standard Aspect Ratios - 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios can be selected as needed for programs designed for DTV channels and/or traditional television programming.

2/3" IT Imager (3-CCD) - A high sensitivity 520,000 pixel imager with native 16:9 aspect ratio delivers wide dynamic range, high performance pictures in all shooting conditions.

750 lines Horizontal Resolution - Designed to provide super sharp images, the AJ-D610WBPS1 delivers exceptionally clean, sharp pictures comparable to that of any high performance standard-definition camera on the market.

Excellent Sensitivity - While an high sensitivity rating of F11 @ 2000 lux allows for shooting low to moderate ambient light levels, an impressive 63 dB signal-to-noise ratio translates to low noise pictures and better compression.

Minimum Illumination - With 36 dB gain in place and lens wide open (F1.4), the AJ-D610WABPS1allows for shooting in near dark (0.5 lux) environments.

Low-Smear - New generation IT Imagers produce smear free images under wide dynamic range shooting conditions. The result is natural looking pictures virtually free of electronic anomalies. (typ. -125 dB)

High Gain - When shooting in wide-ranging light-level conditions, optimize signal levels by choosing from -3 dB to +30 dB in seven steps. And for instant gain changes, use the conveniently located 3-position toggle to switch-in pre-programmed gain sets.

66 Minutes Record Time - Medium-size DVCPRO cassettes not only reduce storage space requirements in the studio, but are far more convenient to handle in field production.

Electronic Shutter - A user-settable electronic shutter allows speeds from 1/100 to 1/2000 second, which serve to reduce blur on fast moving objects. Electronic shutter can also compensate for shaky camera movement, especially when shooting aerial footage.

Synchro-Scan - This subset of the electronic shutter allows for very fine increments to be selected from a range of 1/60.8 to 1/250 sec. The subsequent result is reduced flicker when shooting electronic displays such as computer monitors or electronic readouts.

Scene File - Camera set-ups can be saved on a conveniently removable PCMCIA Memory card, allowing swift access to user-designed camera settings for given scenes, or matching multiple cameras with the same "look".

Super Iris - To compensate for backlighting conditions, the Super Iris mode opens the iris the necessary amount to bring the subject matter up to proper levels.

Small Size, Light Weight - Compact, solidly built and comfortable to use, the steadfast AJ-D610WBPS1 weighs in at a scant 14.5 lbs. including viewfinder, battery pack, lens, and tape cassette. Far less than typical professional analog cameras, hand-held use for long time periods proves inherently manageable.

Low Power Consumption - Pulling only 24 Watts power fully loaded, a longer battery life can be realized. The camera runs cool and does not employ a fan, assuring quiet operation.

Dual Filter Wheels - Both neutral density and color correction filter wheels are accessible and support 4 positions with two memory sets each wheel position.

Solid, Dependable Recordings - A wealth of built-in digital and mechanical safeguards ensures a flawless recording even in adverse environmental conditions.

2/3" Standard Lens Mount - The AJ-D610WBPS1 employs industry standard fixed focal length or zoom 2/3" bayonet mount lenses for convenient lens interchangeability.

Video Input - Standard Feature

Digital Audio Recordings - Two channels of digital audio run 16-bit / 48 kHz sampling and 20 dB of headroom. Choose either line or mic inputs with variable gain or automatic level control.
