DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 OUTLINE The DFW-SX900/X700 is a C-mounted color digital video camera utilizing a 1/2-type PS IT CCD. The IEEE1394-1995 digital interface realizes a transfer speed of 400M bps and outputs of SXGA (1,280 · 960)/YUV (4 : 2 : 2)/7.5 fps with the DFW-SX900, XGA (1,024 · 768)/YUV (4 : 2 : 2)/15 fps with the DFW-X700. In addition, the DFW-SX900/X700 also adopts a primary color filter CCD to realize good color reproductivity, as well as a square pixel CCD to eliminate the need for asp

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS The DFW-SX900/X700 differs from the conventional analog camera in that no video signals will be output by just supplying power. It will start operating when designated commands are written in the CSR (Control & Status Register) specified in the 1394-based Digital Camera Specification Ver.1.30. For details on the steps to video signal output and details of CSR, refer to “SETTINGS OF CAMERA CONTROL AND STATUS REGISTER” on page 20 and “COMMAND SENDING PROCEDURE UNTIL IM

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS Gain Used for setting the gain of the video signal amplifier. The gain can be set to 180 steps between the standard gain and maximum +18 dB. (1 step is not 0.1 dB.) By setting AUTO to ON, the gain will be automatically adjusted to the appropriate exposure. The range of operations is 0 to +18 dB. Shutter The CCD exposure time can be set between the maximum 2 seconds and minimum 1/20,000 seconds. By setting AUTO to ON, the exposure time will be automatically adjusted t

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS Gamma Used for setting gamma compensation to OFF, ON (1), or ON (2). OFF : Outputs CCD signals for image processing linearly. ON (1) : For obtaining natural gradation taking into account the characteristics of the monitor. ON (2) : For obtaining three-dimensional images with a subject that has a small luminance dynamic range.

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS Operations in Normal Mode Exposure and readout are repeated according to the VD pulses inside the camera. As the operating timing of the camera differs according to the frame rate, it is described below. The frame rates are shown in the following table. Camera When power on When frame rate is reduced DFW-SX900 7.5 fps = approx. 133 ms 3.75 fps = approx. 267 ms DFW-X700 15 fps = approx. 67 ms 7.5 fps = approx. 133 ms When exposure time is 1 frame or shorter VDs are ge

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS When the output frame rate is reduced (3.75 fps of DFW-SX900, 7.5 fps of DFW-X700), images will be read out from the CCD for every VD. However, as every other image is used, the images read out during the isochronous output period will not be used.

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS Internal operations of camera in trigger shutter operation mode An about 3 m s width SUB pulse is generated immediately after trigger is input. Signals accumulated in the CCD sensor until then are eliminated, after which exposure is started. After the exposure time based on the shutter speed set passes, VD is generated inside the camera. (Specifically, VD is generated about 10 m s before exposure ends.) After the A period passes from the falling edge of the VD, image

DFW-SX900 DFW-X700 FUNCTIONS The trigger acceptance prohibition period continues until all of CCD image has been transferred out of the camera. When the transfer frame rate is reduced (3.75 fps of DFW-SX900, 7.5 fps of DFW-X700), data will continue to be transferred even after readout of image has been completed as shown in the figure below. The trigger prohibition period continues until data transfer ends. All trigger inputs to the camera during the “Trigger Acceptance Prohibition Period” will
