12-bit A/D conversion 12-bit analogue to digital conversion technology resulting in a high S/N ratio and improved highlight and low light capability.
16:9/4:3 Operation - Switchable between widescreen and conventional aspect ratios to meet changing production demands.
Advanced DSP - Greater operational flexibility with features such as skin tone iris; skin tone detail; and wide dynamic range.
TrueEye Process - Manages video signal data according to brightness, hue and saturation reproducing colours as faithfully as the human eye.
Knee Saturation - Works with TruEye to maintain accurate colorimetry above the knee point.
High Sensitivity - Ideal for low light environments. A Turbo Gain function quickly raises the gain level to +48dB at the touch of a button.
Electrical Colour Temperature - Control function allows the image to warmed-up or cooled-down from within the camera.
Auto Tracing White Balance - Rapidly adjusts white balance when lighting conditions change (moving from indoors to outdoors).
Gamma/Black Gamma Control - Gives more creative control to how contrast is controlled by camera system. Telecine-like film transfer response curve.
Setup Card Stores setup parameters on a removable Setup Card. Ideal for multiple camera setup and maintaining a look on continuing projects.
Simple Menu Control A rotary control knob gives easy access to various menu items. User menu can be customised to include only selected items.
Shot Data Recording Allows scenes to be logged for more efficient post production. Optical Filters - Dual optical filter wheel with Neutral Density (Clear, 1/8, 1/16, 1/64) and Correction (Cross, 3200K, 4300K 63000K) selections.
