Sony DSR-570WSP (PAL) DVCAM Camcorder (with Canon J11ax4.5B4 IRSD Lens) Fully Working Condition Power HAD WS™ CCD. The DSR-570WSP is equipped with three 2/3-inch Power HAD WS IT CCDs with a high density of 570,000 pixels. Since the CCDs are originally designed for the 16:9 aspect ratio, high quality images can be obtained in the 16:9 mode with virtually no image loss. With a high sensitivity of F11 (at 2000 lux, 3200 K), a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 61 dB and a low vertical smear level of -120 dB are achieved.Advanced Encoding Circuit. The DSR-570WSP performs digital-to-analogue encoding in a wider signal bandwidth than the DSR-500WSP. This contributes to the high horizontal resolution of 850 TV lines (4:3 mode) and 800 TV lines (16:9 mode). Hyper Gain (42 dB). Hyper Gain is a useful function that allows shooting in the dark by boosting the electric gain to 36 dB. Using the viewfinder menu system, the gain level of Hyper Gain can be set to a maximum of 42 dB (DSR-570WSP only). This allows shooting in as low as 0.25 lx. Simply flipping the HYPER GAIN switch turns on this function. Camera Setup Files. When the SETUP switch is set to FILE position, a total of eight Camera Setup Files can be viewed via the VF (View-finder) Menu system. Five files are factory preset to match the most common lighting conditions, including STANDARD, HIGH SATURATION, and FLUORESCENT. An additional three User Files allow the operator to customise the camera parameters to particular shooting situations. With the SetupNavi™ function, the User Files and Factory Preset Files can also be stored to the VAUX portion of a DVCAM tape. Digital Output with i.LINK Interface. The DSR-570WSP adopts a 6-pin i.LINK interface for digital signal output. This enables a back-up recording onto DV and DVCAM VTRs with just one i.LINK cable. The i.LINK cable carries digital video/audio signals and control signals simultaneously. For instance, when the DSR-570WSP is connected to the Sony DVCAM Studio VTR, simple cut editing can be performed without signal deterioration. Black Stretch and Compress. Contrast in the black area of an image can be easily adjusted using the Black Stretch/Compress control function. Black Stretch emphasises contrast in dark areas, while Black Compress enhances or deepens darkness. Freeze Mix Function. The Freeze Mix function superimposes a previously recorded image on the view-finder, allowing the operator to easily frame or reposition a subject when a shot must be taken in the same framework as a previous take. Combined with the SetupLog™ function, a retake is a breeze. Useful Features for Recording Operation. The DSR-570WSP has a variety of features to make recording easy : - 26-pin VTR interface to feed live camera output signals to an external recorder - 26-pin for studio operation control - Pool Feed operation - Optional DSBK-501 Analogue Composite Input Board allows the camcorder to serve as a VTR - Edit Search function for easy access to the edit point - SetupLog - Automatic recording of camera setting data for each shot onto the DVCAM tape. CCU Control Capability. 300m with CCZ-A cable (26-pin) (150m for Return Video and Genlock) - Two composite outputs – one Y/C and one component output (selectable from Y/R-Y/B-Y and R/G/B) - Control functions: IRIS (auto/manual), White Balance (auto/manual/preset), Black Balance (auto/manual/preset), Gain Select (low/mid/high), R/B Gain, R/B Pedestal, Master Pedestal, Sub-carrier Phase, Horizontal Phase, Output Mode (color bar/camera), Knee Point (auto/manual/preset), Detail Level, Tally/Intercom, Shutter Speed Selection, Clear Scan - Video light power supplied from the CCU-M5A for applications such as on-air interviews. Video Light Connector. Optional light equipment can be directly attached to the DSR-570WSP and powered from the video light connector. With the LIGHT switch located on the front-right side of the camcorder, it can be turned on manually or synchronised with the REC start function of the DSR-570WSP. 1.5-inch black-and-white viewfinder (DXF-801CE). The DSR-570P comes with the same 1.5-inch black-and-white CRT viewfinder (DXR-801CE) that was originally designed for the DSR-500WSP. This lightweight viewfinder, with its high resolution, lets you focus manually to optimise picture clarity, and includes inovative features such as a dedicated light to illuminate the Iris ring area of the lens for operation in dark situation (high / low / off). Canon J11ax4.5B4 IRSD SX12 Lens Canon now releases the third generation of IFxs series, the J11ex4.5B, this ultra wide lens follows the design concept known as IFxs which incorporates Canon's power optical system and features the x-element. IFxs allows for a smaller more compact size with increased specifications marking the J11ex4.5B the widest lens in the world. The new J11ex4.5B provides wide images never previously possible with an 88.7o angle of view at the wide end in standard 4:3 mode, 93.7o in 16:9 mode and 101.4o diagonal. The focal length at the wide end is 4.5mm-16% wider than the current J9ax5.2B. As the leader in digital electronic technology for lenses, Canon is providing tools based upon our advance technology that will fill many needs. These digital drive tools will not only help our customers with today's production requirements, they will be ready to handle future requirements not yet conceived by the cameraperson. Digital drive features shuttle shot, speed preset, framing preset as well as other useful features. Features Surpassing 100 o in diagonal Ultra widest angle of 88.7o (4:3 Format)/93.7 o (16:9 Format) at 4.5mm is achieved with reduced distortion. High zoom ratio 11X Crossover Mode For 16:9/4:3 switchable cameras. (Option) Built-in 2X Extender Vari-Polar Hood Supports high grade filter work 120 degree rotation for Polarized Light Filters, Cross Filters and etc. Quiet Servo Operation Mass (1.78kg) lightest mass in its class. Shuttle Shot By Memorizing any two focal lengths, the Digital Drive can automatically "shuttle" between the two points at its highest speed, moving in either direction. Speed Preset A specific zoom speed can be preset in memory and it is possible to repeat the zoom speed as often as you like by pushing a simple button. This is useful when a production requires the same zoom speed repeatedly, such as an interview program. Framing Preset An Angle of view can be preset in memory and the lens will zoom to that position by pushing a simple button. During a performance, framing preset will reproduce the zoom as often as you like at the highest speed or in a preset zoom speed. Ergonomic Design and Ease of Use It may seem that all of the added functions made available by Digital Drive will cause confusion to the cameraperson. On the contrary, the digital functions have become "Useful" by having only one memory button on the drive unit. If you have a production requirement where you will be shooting several different scenes, each function can easily be set up by the use of on/off dipswitches.
