The DXC-950 adapts the newly developed Power HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCDs by Sony, following the well-proven Hyper HAD CCDs. It gives a significant improvement in sensitivity and a dramatic reduction in vertical smear. Combined with improved built-in electronic video circuitry, Sony Power HAD CCDs provide higher resolution and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the DXC-950 incorporates convenient operational functions such as a Flash Synchronization specifically useful in photo-proof applications and a Threepattern Light Metering System especially effective in microscope applications. All functions can be easily controlled from the camera rear panel, the optional RM-C950 Remote Control Unit or an external computer via RS-232C. Multiple component, RGB, Y/C and composite video signal outputs allow the DXC-950 to be readily integrated into any industrial video system. With a host of advanced features and outstanding picture quality, the DXC-950 is sure to satisfy the critical demands of industrial video users and expand the camera system versatility in existing applications, including scientific research, computer imaging, video conferencing, photo-proof and industrial inspection systems.

Features:
1/2-inch Three CCD Power HAD camera
750 TV lines of horizontal resolution
60 dB signal to noise ratio
F9.5 sensitivity at 2000 lux
Built in RS-232C control capability
Master and synchronized strobe function
The DXC-950 is remarkably compact and lightweight (146.7 L x 70 W x 72 H mm/670g). It can be easily installed even where space is at a premium.
Various camera control functions can be easily and quickly set by the MENU/FUNCTION/DATA buttons on the camera's rear panel, the optional RM-C950 Remote Control Unit or an external computer. The function menu can be displayed on a monitor using the camera component, Y/C. RGB or composite video signal outputs.
The DXC-950 provides precise camera control with new advanced functions such as linear matrix, shading compensation, master pedestal, gamma selection and detail level which enable optimal image color and contrast to be reproduced whatever the situation.
The DXC-950 has the ability to switch between Field or Frame CCD integration modes with the function menu buttons on the camera's rear panel or by using the optional RM-C950. Field integration is effective for capturing moving objects, since the charges combined from adjacent lines are integrated over one field (1/60s) and the picture lag is reduced when compared to frame integrates.
The DXC-950 features a variable speed electronic shutter built into the CCD imagers, making it possible to capture blur-free, clear pictures of high speed moving objects. In addition to the conventional eight step shutter speed selection, Long Term Exposure and Clear Scan is available by manually selecting shutter speeds by 1 frame or 1 H steps respectively.
The CCD Iris function, a development originated by Sony, automatically controls exposure by electronically adjusting for incoming light levels. This function is equivalent to six F steps in lens iris and is effective in microscopy applications.
The DXC-950 has three white balance control modes such as AWB, ATW, and Manual (R/B Gain) to meet a wide range of operational conditions.
When desired to observe a spot in a given picture intensively, it is possible to concentrate light to that area so that the object becomes easy to detect under appropriate light condition. Three pattern light metering areas, Large (75%), Medium (50%) and Spot (25%) can be chosen according to the light condition of the object.
This function enables the DXC-950 to be used in a photo proof or portrait application by synchronizing the DXC-950 with a flash so that any shot can be identified at once using a connected monitor or printer. Flash synchronization is available when an external flash unit or photo flash slave unit is connected to the DXC-950.
In addition to a BNC connector providing a composite signal output, the DXC-950 has a 9-pin D-sub output connector for component and RGB signals. A Y/C or VBS signal is also available from the 9-pin D-sub connector simultaneously and is selected by the function menu control buttons on the camera's rear panel or with the optional RM-C950 Remote Control Unit.
The DXC-950 is equipped with an RS-232C interface, allowing the camera to be remotely controlled from an external computer by using a 8-pin connector.
The DXC-950 can be synchronized with a VBS or a BS signal from other equipment and includes an SC/H phase adjustment control.
Full color bars (SMPTE) can be generated as a test signal source for system and monitor adjustment.
The DXC-950 can be remotely controlled from the optional RM-C950 and CCU-M5A. The RM-C950 operates all functions on the camera rear panel, along with zoom, focus and iris function. The CCU-M5A camera control unit is suitable for users who would like to control the camera from a distance.
