Camera Section High-Image-Quality, High-Sensitivity HD Camera with 2.2-Megapixel 2/3-type 3CCD 2.2-Megapixel 3CCD Offering Both High Resolution and High Sensitivity The camera section features a 3CCD system with a high-density 2.2 megapixel 2/3 type 3CCD to offer full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and high F11 or F12* sensitivity. The switchable interlace/progressive system adapts to 1080/23.98p (or 29.97p, 25p) native video recording. *1: F11 sensitivity is attainable in the 1080/59.94i mode, and F12 sensitivity is attainable in the 1080/50i mode. 14-bit DSP Circuit Achieves High Image Quality with S/N Ratio of 59 dB The high-performance DSP circuit provides rich gradation and superb color reproduction based on 14 bit A/D conversion. With an S/N ratio of 59 dB (when the DNR is turned ON), it also offers low noise. The circuit features highprecision picture quality adjustment functions such as a skin tone detail function and a 12 axis independent color correction function. The new DSP circuit achieves less consumption than previous models. Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) This exclusive technology works between the lens and camera, allowing for a highly sophisticated algorithm to be deployed that automatically compensates the registration error that is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration, and minimizes the neighboring blur. •Simulation Showing the CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation) Effect Full screen CAC OFF CAC ON High-Sensitivity Digital Super Gain The digital super gain (frame cumulative mode) lets the AJ-HPX3100 record with a high S/N ratio*1 and less of the noise that commonly comes with higher gain. The gain and digital super gain can be flexibly combined to achieve highly sensitive recording of up to a +76 dB*2 gain increase and 0.005 lx minimum illumination, to suit various shooting conditions. *1: Due to the use of image accumulation, the number of recorded frames per second decreases. This results in a frame-by-frame playback effect. *2: With super gain set at +42 dB and digital super gain (cumulative mode) at +34 dB. 3
