Dimensions (W x H x D) Power consumption Mass Features Small camera head The DXC-C33/C33P can be installed in space-limited locations. The size of the camera head unit (CHU) is one of the smallest of all the 1/3 type 3-CCD cameras. High picture quality The DXC-C33/C33P can clearly capture detailed object images.
Easy control and operation of the camera by an external computer is possible. For details of the RS-232C protocol, please refer to the Control Protocol or contact your nearest Sony office. External synchronization (VBS Genlock, HD/VD) The DXC camera can be synchronized with an external VBS signal from other equipment and includes a SC/H phase adjustment control.

DV can be connected to a PC and various application software is available for DV. Users can therefore enjoy the high quality of DV compression with the excellent line-up of the DVCAM Series. The DXC-C33/C33P is equipped with a DV output terminal so that images can be recorded into an i.LINK interface-equipped VTR with no quality deterioration.

2600K to 8000K, and Wide mode adopts wider range of 2400K to 9000K. The Wide mode is useful under sodium lumps such as those used in traffic surveillance. In addition, the DXC-C33/C33P has functions that make the area and response speed of ATW adjustable, as with the AE function.

2. Strobe mode When the DXC-C33/C33P is set to the Strobe mode, the type of WEN pulse used is WEN-ODD only. The WEN pulse is useful when used as a trigger for external frame memory to precisely capture full frame.
Is it possible to use any cables except the CCMC-20P05/10/30 to connect the CCU with the CHU? A: No How many pins does the DV terminal of the DXC-C33/C33P have? A: 6 pins. Please use a 6-4 pin/6-6 pin cable to connect DV equipment.
Page 33
DXC-C33/C33P? A: There are limitations to the type of C-mount lenses used with the DXC-C33/C33P. The lens must not project more than 4.3 mm (3/16 inches) from the lens mount surface. Even if lenses meet this requirement, color aberration may appear because most C mount lenses on the market are designed for one CCD, not for 3-CCD, cameras.
