Key Features |
|
|
Trickle-Down High Technology |
|
With the advancement of CCD technology the AJ-SDC615 offers performance that used to cost as much as a down payment on a house. Even the fact that this camera uses 2/3-inch chips is a huge leap forward. A 12-bit processing circuit in the DSP offers great custom picture possibilities. |
|
|
12-Bit Digital Processing Circuit |
|
The DSP circuit features 12-bit A/D conversion and 12-axis matrix color correction. This achieves better overall picture quality with finer gradation and improved color expression. It also allows correction in specific color regions without changing the overall color tone. |
|
|
User Scene Files |
|
The camera has internal memory specifically for special picture and menu settings that can be recalled at any time. It could be used when a camera is used by multiple operators. It also comes in handy when production takes the shoot back and forth among several lighting situations or with scenes and talent with specific video-look requirements. |
|
|
Digital Recording Quality |
|
