Electronic Shutter Function
The variable electronic shutter built into the CCD imager enables the DXC-990/990P and DXC-390/390P
to capture clear images of moving objects. The shutter speed can be manually selected from
a wide range of speeds (up to 1/100000).
The Flickerless mode allows you to obtain flickerless images even in fluorescent lighting conditions.
The Clearscan
TM
mode reduces the horizontal bands that appear in computer displays when shooting
the display with a conventional video camera.
Long Term Exposure Function
When shooting very dark objects or objects in dark lighting conditions, you can manually set the
shutter speed to 1/60 of a second or more to allow more light to accumulate on the CCD sensors,
resulting in enhanced sensitivity.
By synchronizing the WEN pulse of the camera signal output with an external memory unit such as
a frame grabber unit/board, it is possible to obtain a still picture video.
<Shutter speed calculation of Clearscan mode>
Example: When the value is set to 250 H
(NTSC) 250 63.56 us (1 H) + 34.78 us (constant)
= 15924.78 us
= 1/62.8 s
(PAL) 250 64 us (1 H) + 35.6 us (constant)
= 16035.6 us
= 1/62.4 s
<Shutter speed calculation of LTE mode>
Example: When the value is set to 5 FRM
(NTSC) 5 1/30 = 0.167 s
(PAL) 5 1/25 = 0.2 s
