SONY IMX CAMERA
MODEL:MSW-900
INCLUDES:
SONY DIGITAL IMX CAMERA MODEL:MSW-900
SONY VIEWFINDER MODEL:BVF-V20W
LENS NOT INCLUDED
Features:
- Superb picture and sound quality of the MPEG IMX format
- 12-bit A/D converter
- High-performance Digital Signal Processing camcorder
- Combines digital signal processing camera circuitry with 2/3-inch type 16:9/4:3 widescreen Power HAD EX CCD (each with one-million picture elements)
- 60 minutes of recording time on a S-cassette
- Analog composite output as standard
- The latest Sony development in CCD technology, the Power HAD EX, is incorporated in the MSW-900 Camcorder. This CCD realizes a high signal-to-noise ratio of -65 dB (NTSC) and an extremely low smear level (-140 dB, typical). Furthermore, the remarkably high sensitivity of f11 ensures pictures of the highest quality - even when shooting under low lighting levels.The MSW-900 can record both 525 (NTSC version) interlaced and progressive scan (480 30P) signals to suit emerging programming needs.
- The MSW-900 employs a newly developed high-performance Digital Signal Processing LSI. This device provides comprehensive and precise control over the high quality images produced by the camcorder. It builds on the sophisticated DSP technology developed for Digital BETACAM camcorders, making available the many attractive features of these camcorders such as accurate tonal reproduction and colorimetry, the storage of complex parameter setups and a reduction in power consumption.
- The MSW-900 employs MPEG 4:2:2P@ML recording, which uses a bit rate of 50 Mb/s to provide outstanding picture quality. Using MPEG technology, the MSW-900 integrates directly with other MPEG devices. Combing this high picture quality with MPEG interoperability, the MSW-900 seamlessly works in a wide range of applications including ENG and EFP.
- Skin Tone Detail correction controls the detail level in those objects that have specific color tones. The MSW-900 allows detail to be set independently for each of three separate color ranges. The conventional use of skin tone detail correction is to reduce the details in areas of skin tone. In the MSW-900 however, correction is not restricted to areas of skin tones but can be set to apply to any color. Detail may be increased or decreased relative to the normal level.
- The Electronic Soft Focus function included in the camcorder applies an effect similar to using an optical soft-focus filter - but in a much more convenient way. Electronic Soft Focus uses the detail signal to reduce, rather than increase, the sharpness of the picture. By subtracting the detail signal from the original signal, as opposed to adding it as in conventional image enhancement, Electronic Soft Focus is able to provide a picture that is "softer" than that achieved when detail is switched off completely. Electronic Soft Focus is very effective when used in conjunction with Skin Tone Detail to only change the sharpness in areas of a specific color.
- A selectable gamma table is provided to easily give a specific look to a picture by selecting from several fixed gamma patterns.
- Unlike conventional color correction or matrix control, the Multi-matrix function allows color adjustments to be applied over a color and/or hue range as specified by the operator. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas of adjustment, where the hue and/or saturation of each area can be adjusted. This provides interesting in-camera color effects - similar to secondary color correction.
- The Sony TruEye processor is one of the most innovative features of Sony digital signal processing technology. This technology makes it possible to virtually eliminate hue distortion, particularly obvious in highlight conditions that result from conventional RGB analog or digital processing. By processing the video signal data at three levels- brightness, hue and saturation - similar to how the human eye works, the TruEye feature assists in the reproduction of natural skin tones.
- The MSW-900 is equipped with dual optical filters for Color Correction (CC) and Neutral Density (ND) for flexible color and exposure control. The CC filters are 3200K, 4300K, 6300K, and CROSS, while the ND filters are 1/4ND, 1/16ND, 1/64ND, and CLEAR.
- In addition to the optical color filters, digital color temperature control is available to give a 'warmer' or 'colder' look to the picture. Combined use of these two color temperature control methods allows operators to meet their creative needs.
- The MSW-900 offers an Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW) function that automatically adjusts the camera's color temperature in real time with a change of lighting. This is especially useful when a shoot is performed across different environments, such as from indoors to outdoors.
- The MSDW-903 Picture Cache Board allows two new and extremely useful features to be incorporated into the MSW-900.Loop recording is a useful function that allows audio and video signals to be buffered in a memory until the Record button is pressed. The signals buffered in the memory are recorded to tape at the instant the REC button is pressed. This capability can avoid the loss of important scenes that may occur before the operator has time to press the Record button. It is especially helpful for news gathering applications where a vital, one-off shot, would otherwise be missed. Up to eight seconds of data are always buffered for recording.Interval recording is also a unique feature of the MSW-900 camcorder, and operates in a choice of two modes. In manual mode, up to eight frames are recorded every time the Record button is pressed. In auto mode, the camera records frames at predetermined intervals over a predetermined time. In both modes the frames are initially stored in the Picture Cache board and when this is full its contents are copied to tape. This allows recordings to be made over very long time periods on a single tape and minimizes wear of the tape drive mechanism.
- The MSW-900 can record shot marks and shot data to the tape. They can be utilized in a wide range of applications to raise efficiency in the production chain.
- The Sony Tele-File system stores and recalls various types of production data, such as shot data and shot marks, onto and from a cassette label with a built-in memory IC. The camcorder is equipped as standard with a Tele-File reader/writer module, allowing this information to be managed electronically. Use of the Tele-File system can significantly raise efficiency in the subsequent editing process and management of archives.
- The MSW-900 incorporates the Sony Memory Stick system for the storage and recall of setup parameters. This is an easy, effective system for storing and recalling camera parameters for individual scenes, plus individual operators' camera setup preferences that include the settings of assignable switches. An 8Mb Memory Stick stores up to 100 set-up parameters.
- The MSW-900 provides a Turbo Gain function, boosting the gain level up to +48 dB at the touch of a button. This makes it possible to shoot in extremely low light conditions.
- Functions frequently used in the field can be assigned to a push button and a simple slide switch, allowing the operator to make rapid changes under field conditions. The following functions can be assigned.
- A two-channel audio line output is available from the 5-pin XLR connector on the rear of the camcorder. This provides two analog audio output channels, which are selectable between either Channel-1/2 or Channel-3/4.
- The MSW-900 is designed to be extremely compact and lightweight, providing a high level of mobility in the field. It weighs approximately 11lb. 10oz. (5.3 kg) including a viewfinder, microphone, BP-L60A Li-ion battery and BCT-60MX cassette tape.With its new-generation LSI, the camcorder achieves a low power consumption of just 29W.
- The MPEG IMX camcorder provides a long record time of up to 60 minutes. This is achieved by the efficient MPEG compression algorithm, which provides the optimum balance between image quality and recording time.
- An optional remote control unit, the Sony RM-B150, makes it possible to remotely control the camcorder's basic functions via its 8-pin remote connector.
