Camera Performance, Functions, and Operating Ease
High Sensitivity and Low Noise
with the New 2/3 type 3MOS Image Sensors
• New 2/3 type 3MOS Image Sensors:
The newly developed 2.2 megapixel 2/3 type
3MOS (RGB) image sensors offer full-pixel HD
(1920 x 1080) resolution, F12 (59.94 Hz) or F13
(50 Hz) sensitivity and low noise with an S/N of
62 dB (with DNR ON). It also achieves rich
gradation and vibrant color reproduction.
A Newly Developed LSI for
High Image Quality
This LSI incorporates a high-performance digital
signal processor (DSP). It also integrates
intricate image quality adjustment functions,
including 12 axis + skin color 3-axis
independent correction capable of hue
adjustment for each color space, plus Skin Tone
Detail and other settings. In addition, the DSP
achieves lower power consumption than
previous models.
• Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC):
High-precision flash band detection and
compensation.
Image-Enhancing Functions and Versatile Image Settings
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown
highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.
• Gamma: Select from 7 mode (HD/SD/FILMLIKE 1/FILMLIKE 2/FILMLIKE 3/
FILM-REC/VIDEO-REC) gamma curves.
• Digital Image Settings: H detail, V detail, detail coring, skin tone detail,
chroma level, color temperature, master pedestal, knee, matrix,
color correction.
Advanced Functions for Broadcast Applications
• Scan Reverse Function: This function cancels the image inversion that
occurs when Angenieux or Canon HD lens adapters are used.
• High-Sensitivity DS Gain: High sensitivity is achieved without increasing
noise.*
1
Combined with gain, this enables a maximum +76 dB,*
2
for
ultrahigh sensitive recording at minimum subject illumination of 0.004 lx.
• Digital Zoom: 2x/3x/4x digital zoom boost.
• Electronic Shutter with Half-Speed: The AJ-PX5000G features six fixed
shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 sec., plus “half-speed” (180 degree) and
synchro-scan capability.
• Two Optical Filters: ND and CC, have four positions each.
The 3200K, 4300K, 5600K and 6300K positions of the CC filter help to
express deeper colors.
*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.
Setup Data Files
• Setup Files: Eight camera setup data files (including four scene files) can
be saved on an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Loading this file from
memory card makes color setting easier for multiple cameras.
• Lens Files: Stores settings for interchangeable lenses. Eight files can be
stored in the camera unit, and 64 (8 x 8) files can be saved on an SD/
SDHC/SDXC memory card.
