Advanced 12-Bit Digital Processing High Level of video sampling provides extremely high quality video. The advanced VLSI design improves the level of control while maintaining low power requirements. The advanced Video processing in combination with a new CCD breakthrough (Power HAD 1000 CCD) provides the highest signal to noise ratio in the market. Sony Integrated Imaging Capsule Provides total compatibility between Studio and Portable camera shells based on production requirements. This is particularly useful when reconfiguring between 4:3 and 16:9 imagers, or between "hard" and "soft" cameras on special event shoots. New Features and High Speed Control System Provides expanded control functions for added control of the camera system, including: skin tone auto iris; three channel skin tone detail; fine detail; electronic soft-focus; 3D white shading; adaptive high light control; multi-matrix real-time control response for more accurate control; assignable remote control panels and master setup units. Sensor 520K, 2/3" image format Power HAD1000, "Plug-In" Integrated Imaging Capsule, directly and quickly interchangeable between the BVP-900 Studio Camera and the BVP-950 portable camera. Also, easy change between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio capsules.
