SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings

are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few

seconds. This recorded data can then be used to

reproduce the same shooting conditions in

subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to

identify the causes of problems in previous shots.

SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the

setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the

tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to

other camera heads so that the same setup can be

shared among several camera heads.

TruEye™ processing makes possible the following

performance features. This new digital signal

processing has brought reproduction of natural colors

to the level achieved by the human eye.

Chapter 1 Overview

Features

Programmable gain

Dual zebra pattern display

ClipLink™ Function (when using DSR-

1/1P)

Designed for ease of operation

The amount of gain relative to the GAIN switch

setting (H, M, or L) can be programmed as –3 dB, 0

dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 18 dB+DPR¹⁾, 24

dB,

Two types of zebra patterns, zebra 1 and zebra 2 can

be displayed simultaneously or independently. The

zebra 1 can be set to the levels ranging from 70 to 90

IRE on the DXC-D35/D35WSL (or from 70 to 90% on

the DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) and the zebra 2 indicates

the levels of 100 IRE for the DXC-D35/D35WSL or

more (or the levels of 100% or more for the DXC-

D35P/D35WSPL).

Dynafit Pad

Thanks to the Dynafit Pad which fits well to the

shoulder, the camera is stable on the shoulder.

The ClipLink function can be used at every step from

acquisition to editing. Information necessary for

editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and

efficient editing operations.

24 dB+DPR and hyper gain.

Slide cover

Hyper gain

The slide cover can hide the switches and buttons that

are seldom used during shooting. The cover can be

locked so as not to open during shooting.

When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when

you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the

video image at that point is recorded on the tape in

compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the

time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark

OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with

other editing point data (such as the cassette number

and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink

log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can

also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that

only the good scenes are taken up from cassette

memory when editing.

Hyper gain (36 dB or 42dB, i.e. about 60 times or 120

times greater than

0 dB) can be easily set via one switch setting. This

can also be done from remote equipment.

Color temperature display

When reading the white balance, the color temperature

is displayed on the viewfinder screen.

High-performance viewfinder (DXF-801/

801CE)

Auto tracing white balance

This function automatically traces the white balance,

which constantly changes as lighting conditions

change. Auto tracing white balance is especially

useful when there is no time to manually adjust the

white balance or when shooting moves between indoor

and outdoor locations.

Switching the color temperatures for the

preset white balance

You can select the preset white balance at 3200 K

(default) or 5600 K (default) by setting the FILTER

control. The preset white balance can be changed to

other value through menu setting (see page 59).

• High resolution (600 TV lines of horizontal

resolution)

• Large-diameter eye cup for easier viewing and

focusing

• PEAKING potentiometer for vertical and horizontal

detail control

• Two indicators can be used as TALLY indicators.

Video monitor output with text

The video signal with text superimposed that is shown

in the viewfinder can also be output to an external

video monitor.

Total level control system (TLCS)

Dockable with various types of VTRs

Even if the incoming light exceeds the range in which

the standard auto iris can control exposure, the auto

gain control (AGC) or auto exposure (AE) backs up to

ensure proper exposure.

The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL docks with

the DSR-1/1P DVCAM VTR to configurea digital

camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam

SP VTR to configure a Betacam SP camcorder. In

addition, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL

docks with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an

adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a

variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.

Camera head microphone output indicator

An indication 9 appears in the viewfinder whenever a

signal is being output from the camera head’s

microphone.

Dual pixel readout (DPR)

When the gain is set to either 18 dB or 24 dB, the gain

setting can be doubled (6 dB up) without increasing

the noise level.

1-kHz reference signal output

Along with a color bar, a 1-kHz reference signal can

also be output.

Recording time display

Recording time can be displayed in either of the

following modes.

• Total recording time for all cuts

• Total recording time for current cut

VTR data display

New Functions boost operability

When connected to a VTR, the DXC-D35/D35P/

D35WSL/D35WSPL is able to display the following

data on the viewfinder screen.

• Time values (counter, time code, or user bit vales)

• VTR audio levels

Chapter 1 Overview

Location and Function of Parts

1 EZ (“easy”) MODE button and indicator

Depress this button (EZ mode on) when you want to

be able to shoot immediately, with automatic

adjustment of the camera settings to standard values.

(See page 68.) When this function is used, the iris and

the white balance are adjusted automatically. (The

total level control system functions.) Press this button

again to return the camera to the previous settings (EZ

mode off).

5 A.IRIS (auto iris) MODE switch and indicator

When you use the auto iris function (by setting the iris

selector on the lens to A), set this switch to suit the

shooting conditions. Selecting BACK L gives more

light to back-lit subjects, and selecting SPOT L adjusts

for high contrast in spot-lit subjects. For normal

shooting, set this switch to STD.

CAM/DL: This setting uses the DynaLatitude

function, which finely adjusts the contrast of each

pixel according to a histogram of luminance signal

levels. Access advanced menu page 2 to set the

DynaLatitude function ON or OFF. The

DynaLatitude effect can be set to any of three

levels, Low, STD (standard), and High with basic

menu page 2.

Note

The recording time displayed when this switch is set

to the TTL or DUR position is obtained by counting

the duration of the internal reference signal input to

the camera.

The value may not agree exactly with the value

derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the

value displayed may not be correct when another

manufacturer’s VTR is connected to the camera.

6 ATW (auto tracing white balance) button and

indicator

Press this button, turning the indicator on, when you

want the white balance to be adjusted automatically to

follow changes in lighting conditions. (See page 81.)

on, the function automatically turns off after about ten

seconds.

ON STBY: This puts the VTR on standby. In this

state, pressing the VTR button on the camera

head, the lens or a camera adaptor starts recording

immediately.

ON SAVE: This puts the VTR in the power-saving

state, with the video head drum stationary. In this

state, it takes a few seconds to start recording after

pressing the VTR button.

For details, see “Skin Detail Correction” (page 93).

qj SKIN DTL (skin detail set) SET button

disconnected. Correct the fault in the power supply,

then press this switch.

ql HYPER GAIN switch

Setting this switch to the ON position increases the

gain by a factor of about 60 or 120 with respect to 0

dB (a 30 or 36 dB increase by electronic amplification

and a 6 dB increase for DPR, bringing about a total

gain increase of 36 or 42 dB).

When this switch is in the ON position, the indication

“HYPER” appears in the viewfinder, and the GAIN

UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.

When finished shooting, return this switch to the OFF

position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the

GAIN UP indicator goes out.

Chapter 3 Shooting

Shooting with the DSR-1/1P

The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WS/D35WSP docks with

the DSR-1/1P to configure a DVCAM Camcorder.

The following describes how to shoot using a

DVCAM camcorder.

Press the VTR button on the camera head or the

lens.

Press the TAKE button when you find a shot

where you would like to set a Mark OUT point.

Setting Mark IN/OUT points as you shoot

Instead of continuing shots from scene to scene, you

can specify Mark IN and Mark OUT points as you

shoot and set scene numbers (ranging from 001 to

198).

The DSR-1/1P starts recording, and the REC/

TALLY indicator lights in the viewfinder.

Meanwhile, the time code at the recording start

point (Rec IN) is recorded (HH:MM:SS) in the

DSR-1/1P’s internal memory.

The TAKE/TALLY indicator (orange) goes out in

the viewfinder and the “TAKE” disappears from

the screen.

At this time, the time code (HH:MM:SS) at the

Mark IN/OUT point for scene 001 is recorded to

the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory, and then

recorded to the cassette memory.

Using the ClipLink Function

Perform steps 1 and 2 from “Using the ClipLink

Function” (page 46).

The ClipLink function can be used at all stages from

shooting to editing. This function makes editing

operations more efficient by automatically recording

index pictures (Mark IN point images) that provide a

searchable index of recorded scenes, along with other

data such as time code and scene numbers.

When a shooting of the scene completes, press the

VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

Access basic menu page 6 and perform the

following operations.

To set/clear NG

This pauses recording.

If you press the NG button before you set the next

Mark IN point, the previous scene will be

designated as “NG” (the “NG” display appears in

the viewfinder).

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by

pressing the NG button again before you set the

next Mark IN point (the “NG” display in the

viewfinder disappears).

1) Set MARK/CUE to MARK.

The ClipLink mode indication “CLIP M”

appears on the viewfinder screen.

To continue recording the next scene, repeat steps

3 and 4. The scene number will be automatically

incremented.

For concept of the ClipLink function, see the section “What

Is ClipLink”(page 102).

2) Set the cassette name or number if necessary.

To set/clear NG (No Good)

If you press the NG button before you start

shooting the next scene, the previous scene will be

designated as “NG” (the “NG” display appears in

the viewfinder).

Dock the DSR-1/1P to the camera head and turn on

the power, then perform steps 2 to 10 from “Basic

Procedure for Shooting” (page 43).

For details of menu operations, see “Basic Menu

Operations” (page 58).

Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed to record (to

cassette memory) time codes at Mark IN/OUT

points, scene numbers, and NG designations to the

cassette memory.

Press the VTR button on the camera head or the

lens.

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by

pressing the NG button again before you start

shooting the next scene (the “NG” display in the

viewfinder disappears, which means that the

previous scene has been re-designated as “OK”).

Each time you press the NG button before starting

shooting the next scene, the status of the previous

scene toggles between “NG” and “OK”. It is

always the last selected status that will take effect

and be stored in the cassette memory.

Insert a cassette into the DSR-1/1P and set

ClipLink mode to ON by menu setting.

The DSR-1/1P starts recording, and the REC/

TALLY indicator(s) light(s) in the viewfinder.

For details of this operation, see the operating

instructions for the DSR-1/1P.

The scene number is automatically incremented

each time you specify a Mark OUT point.

Connect the DSR-1/1P and load the tape that

contains the recording to be viewed. Turn the

camera power on.

Adjusting the white balance ensures that as lighting

conditions change white objects remain white in the

image and tones remain natural.

The color of light emitted varies from one light source

to another, and as the lighting changes the apparent

color of an illuminated subject changes. It is therefore

necessary to adjust the white balance each time the

principal lighting source changes.

Adjustment of the white balance to match the light

source is essential to ensure correct color rendering.

The color of a light source is indicated as a color

temperature in kelvins (K). It is higher for bluish light,

and lower for reddish light. When the camera is

shipped it is adjusted for use with video lights (halogen

lamps with a color temperature of 3200 K). For use

with other light sources, therefore, adjustment is

required.

First use the FILTER control to set the approximate

Shutter Settings

This section covers the settings for electronic shutter

speed, CLS (clear scan ) and EVS function.

The new value for the shutter speed or clear scan

frequency and EVS setting remains set until changed,

even when the camera is powered off.

When using the clear scan function

Watching the monitor screen, adjust the frequency

to give minimum interference.

If there is a black band in the monitor image,

reduce the frequency, and if there is a white band,

increase the frequency.

Shutter speeds

There are five shutter speeds, from ¹/100 s (DXC-D35/

D35WSL) or ¹/⁶⁰s (DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) to ¹/2000 s.

Increasing the shutter speed reduces blurring when

shooting a fast-moving subject. It is also possible to

reduce flicker when shooting under fluorescent

lighting by changing the shutter speed.

To return from the basic menu to the normal

indications

Press the MENU/STATUS switch as many times as

necessary until the normal indications appear. The

new setting of the shutter speed or clear scan

frequency appears in the normal screen display.

When shooting is finished

CLS (Clear Scan) function

Set the SHUTTER switch to the OFF position.

The SHUTTER indicator in the viewfinder goes off.

When shooting a computer screen or projected image,

horizontal bands may appear in the camera image.

This is because the vertical scan frequency of the

computer-generated image is different from the

vertical scan frequency of the video system. The clear

scan function allows you to select a vertical scan

frequency to reduce this interference.

Set the SHUTTER switch to the ON position.

The SHUTTER indicator in the viewfinder comes

on, and it is now possible to change the shutter

speed or clear scan frequency setting and to set the

EVS function. (If the EVS is already selected, the

SHUTTER indicator will not light.)

EVS (Enhanced Vertical Scan)

Operate the MENU/STATUS switch to align the

cursor with the item “SHUTTER” in basic menu

page 1.

This function enhances the vertical scan resolution

from 400 to 450 lines (or 450 to 530 lines) to reduce

flicker. However, this increases the aliasing.

Notes on setting the shutter speed

• The faster you make the shutter speed, the darker the

level or adjust the iris.

• When the shutter speed is very fast, shooting a high

intensity subject may cause long vertical tails to

appear on the highlights (smear).

Important Notes on Operation

Fitting the zoom lens

Shipping

It is important to fit the lens correctly, as otherwise

damage may result. Be sure to refer to the section

“Fitting the Lens” (See page 30).

Use the optional LC-421 Carrying Case for optimal

shipping.

If sending the camera by truck, ship, air or other

transportation service, first store it in the carrying case,

then pack the carrying case in the supplied carton (or

an equivalent).

Do not cover the unit while operating

Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause

excessive internal heat build-up.

Care of the unit

Operation and storage

Avoid storing or operating the unit in the following

conditions.

• In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature

range: –10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F))

Remember that in summer in warm climates the

temperature inside a car with the windows closed can

easily exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

Remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the lenses or

optical filters using a blower.

If the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft,

dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a

little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use

organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these

may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish

of the unit.

• In damp or dusty locations

• Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain

• Locations subject to violent vibration

• Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong

electromagnetic fields.

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit,

contact your supplier or Sony service representative.

Viewfinder

• Do not leave the camera with the eyepiece pointing

directly at the sun.

The eyepiece lens can concentrate the sun’s rays and

melt the interior of the viewfinder.

• Do not use the viewfinder close to strong magnetic

fields. This can cause picture distortion.

Important Notes on Operation

Characteristics of CCD Sensors

Warning Indications

If a fault occurs during operation, a warning is given

by the REC/TALLY and BATT indicators in the

viewfinder and the tally lamp lighting or flashing, and

also by warning indications on the viewfinder screen.

When you are using a DSR-1/1P or PVV-3/3P, the

WARNING indicator on the VTR also lights or

flashes, and warning indications appear in the display

window. There is also a warning tone in the earphone.

The following effects may appear in the image. They

are characteristic of cameras using CCDs (charge-

coupled devices), and do not indicate a malfunction.

What Is ClipLink?

ClipLink Operation Flow

The ClipLink^TMfunction greatly improves the

efficiency of the video production process as a whole

by recording various editing-related data on tape when

shooting. As such, ClipLink is a revolutionary

function that transcends the conventional separation of

shooting and editing.

Next, begin rough editing by viewing the Index

Pictures on the EditStation’s GUI display and

rearranging them as you wish. This eliminates the

difficult work of matching up a handwritten shot list

with recorded scenes. After you have completed this

rough editing, you can then transfer only the

recordings needed for your video program.

The following is a detailed description of how to use

the ClipLink function during the video production

process.

Example System Configuration

Note

The following illustration shows the optimum system

configuration for using the ClipLink function.

ClipLink operation is possible even with a system

containing existing analog equipment. However, note

that a part of functions are disabled.

When an external equipment, such as VCR, is

connected to the DV OUT connector, the ClipLink

function will not work.

High-speed transfer of recordings

It is also possible to transfer the editing material itself

between the DSR-85/85P and ES-7 at four times

normal speed. In other words, the transfer can be

carried out in one fourth of the real time duration. It is

of course possible to carry out a transfer at four times

normal speed when backing up video and audio data

recorded on the disk drive to the DSR-85/85P, or in the

opposite direction when loading data backed up on the

DSR-85/85P to the disk drive. Thus the time required

is much shorter than with conventional equipment (for

which, for example, transferring a 40-minute segment

of video takes 40 minutes).

How ClipLink Changes Video

Production Techniques

Shooting

DVCAM standard cassette or DVCAM mini cassette

The following describes various ways in which

ClipLink¹⁾video production differs from conventional

video production.

Index Pictures: recorded on

DVCAM Camcorder

(DXC-D35/D35WS +

DSR-1 or DSR-135P)

ClipLink log data: recorded in

cassette memory

Recording of ClipLink log data lightens

the shooting workload

ClipLink log data recorded onto DVCAM cassettes

links shooting and editing operations.

When you start shooting a scene, ClipLink log data

such as the scene number and time code data are

automatically recorded into the cassette memory. This

eliminates the need for a conventional “shot list”

compiled by someone using a stopwatch, clipboard

and pencil. You can also designate unwanted scenes as

“NG” (no good) and automatically skip all “NG”

scenes when editing.

Note

When using a tape recorded by a DVCAM camcorder

to transfer digital (video/audio/time code) signals at

four times normal speed from the DSR-85/85P Digital

Videocassette Recorder to the ES-7 EditStation for

editing purposes, there must be about at least 40

seconds of recording on the tape before the IN point.

To perform editing without problems, it is

recommended that you pre-record at least 40

seconds of color bar signals at the beginning of the

tape.

only the Index Pictures and the ClipLink log data to

the EditStation’s hard disk. You can also transfer OK

scenes only (“NG” scenes are skipped).

How to record ClipLink log data

Data Generated When Shooting

This type of data is especially useful when shooting

scenes that may contain unexpected events, such as

when shooting for sports coverage or documentaries.

Set the camcorder to Cue mode before you start to

record. While recording, each time you press the

camera’s TAKE button, the current time code is

recorded as a cue point time code.

The following describes the kinds of data that is

generated when using the ClipLink function.

The following describes how to record the various

ClipLink log data items.

Index Pictures

OK/NG status

When shooting, a single-frame image from the Mark

IN point at the start of each scene is recorded as a still

picture into the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory. These

images are called “Index Pictures”. When you finish

shooting, the Index Pictures from all scenes are

recorded onto the tape after the last scene.

To designate a scene as “NG”, press the NG button on

the camcorder while shooting the scene or at any time

before you begin shooting the next scene.

All scenes that do not receive an “NG” designation are

recorded as “OK” scenes.

3-1. Preparation

3-1-5. Maintaining the Grayscale Chart

For the CCD OUT level adjustment and the Gamma correction adjustment, using an 89.9 %-reflective

grayscale chart is preferable.

If a reflective chart is not available, use a well-maintained pattern box and a transparent grayscale chart

for adjustment.

Before beginning adjustment, set the illumination of the light source (or the luminous intensity on the

chart surface) properly proceeding as follows and set the color temperature to 3200 K exactly by adjust-

ing light.

Information on the reflective grayscale chart

Recommended chart

The reflective grayscale chart is commercially available.

Recommended chart: Reflective grayscale chart (with a special case)

Postcode 104-0054

Phone: 81-3-3532-3011

Fax:

81-3-3532-2056

Handling precautions

. Do not touch the chart’s surface.

. Do not subject the surface to dirt, scratches or prolonged exposure to sunlight.

. Protect the chart from excess moisture and harmful gas.

. Avoid resting articles against the case.

. Open the case and dry the chart more an hour for a month in no use long period.

Replacement period when the chart is used as the reference

The reflective grayscale chart should be replaced every two years if it used as the reference. Because the

chart deteriorates with time and proper adjustment cannot be achieved.

Replacement period varies according to storage conditions of the chart.

Setting illumination (when the reflective chart is used)

Equipment:

Illuminance meter (Calibrated)

Chart

1. Turn on the light source and warm up for about 30

minutes.

Illuminance meter

Light source

2. Place the illuminance meter on the chart surface.

Adjust the position and angle of the light source so that

the whole surface of the chart is evenly 2000 lx.

Light the chart from almost the same direction and

height as the camera to shoot the chart.

3-1. Preparation

Setting luminous intensity (when the transparent chart is used)

Equipment:

Luminance meter (Minolta LS-110 or equivalent. Calibrated.)

1. Light the pattern box and warm up for about 30 minutes.

2. Place the pattern box where the chart is not exposed to light, such as a darkroom.

(Or cover the pattern box with a cover whose inside is painted in black.)

3. Place the luminance meter facing straight to the chart at a distance of 1 m from it.

4. Adjust the luminance control of the pattern box so that the white portion in the center of the chart is

573 ±6 cd/m².

This corresponds to the luminous intensity on the 89.9 %-reflective chart at 2000 lx.
