Features
Benefits:
New style & rugged alloy body construction
features a new body, new CCD & new DSP with significant improvements in reliability, ruggedness, & functionality.
Interchangeable 2/3" zoom lenses
Wide choice of lenses (2/3"-B2 mount). Professional operation (manual iris/zoom/focus settings). Accurate F stop indication feedback on VF
Power HAD EX CCD's
Incorporates three new high sensitivity low noise 2/3 inch 4:3 Power HAD EX CCD's for the ighest picture performance: virtually unperceivable V-Smear (-140Db); High signal-to-noise ratio (65Db typical)
Full DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
Advanced full DSP for high signal stability and superb imaging performance under all lighting conditions. DSP integrates many exclusive features which enhance the picture quality and improve the operation of the camcorder: TruEye Signal Processing (for natural contrast reproduction even under extreme lighting conditions), DynaLatitude function, Skin Tone DTL function, Black-Stretch/Compress function, easy to use menu functions, & 0.5 lux min. illumination with Hyper Gain Switch (+36Db). POOL FEED IS NOT AVAILABLE for DSR-400 models.
High Resolution 1.5" B&W viewfinder (DXF-801) and LCD panel
For precise focusing and picture control. The provided DXF-801 viewfinder includes many features: VF Light (LED) to light up the focus and iris ring area of the lens in dark situations (high/low/off switchable); 3 Tally lamp levels (switchable-high/low/off); Vertical and horizontal detail level control via PEAKING potentiometer; High resolution 2.5 inch (viewable area, measured diagonally) LCD panel viewable in bright sunlight.
Memory Stick Scene file storage and software upgrade
The DSR-400 has a new Memory stick scene file storage capability equivalent to that available on the igh end camcorders. Settings of the camera can be stored in customer an dcan also be shared by e-mail. This media can be used for service and software upgrades.
Compact & Lightweight
Very compact and fits perfectly on the shoulder. The weight balance is optimized to support extended shoulder shooting.
Adjustable Shoulder Pad
the new adjustable shoulder pad allows hours of operation without painful pressure points as is common with conventional, harder shoulder pad types
Video Light Connector
Optional (50W max.) video light equipment can be connected directly to the camcorder and powered from the video light connector. The light can be synchronized with the VTR Start/Stop switch or switched manually on/off.
Electronic Color Temperature Adjustment
Switching of color temperature electronically (via menu). Thus, the 5600K optical filter rarely needs to be employed (save 2/3 f-stop of sensitivity under daylight conditions). Adjustment of color temperature over a very wide range to achieve artistic painting effects and/or to influence the overall color reproduction.
Jog Dial Menu Control
Simplified menu operation-especially useful under time critical ENG production applications
DV and DVCAM Recording
All DVCAM format benefits are incorporated. High reliability vs consumer or professional DV. Long recording time-up to 3 hours of DVCAM on one tape. Extra long 4 1/2 hour DV SP recording
