DXC_C33_C33P.qxd 02.2.8 6:03 PM Page 6 3. KEY FEATURES ■ i.LINKTM (DV) out DV (Digital Video) is the standard for consumer digital video. DV complies with the same IEEE1394 interface standard as the DFW Series. Thanks to data-compression technology, the transmission speed of DV is approximately 25 Mb/s. This figure is about 1/5 of the transmission speed of the DFW Series (no compression). DV can be connected to a PC and various application software is available for DV.

DXC_C33_C33P.qxd 02.2.8 6:03 PM Page 28 11. TECHNICAL APPENDIX 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 extra light to accumulate on the CCD sensors, resulting in enhanced sensitivity.

DXC_C33_C33P.qxd 02.2.8 6:03 PM Page 29 11. TECHNICAL APPENDIX Functions using WEN pulse — Output signal to external frame memory The DXC-C33/C33P puts out a WEN pulse that enables the external frame memory to minutely store the video signal output. The timing of the external frame memory can be locked by the HD/VD signal or the sync signal of the DXC-C33/C33P so that the write-start timing of the external frame memory can be precisely controlled.
