Sony DXC-AT tapeless BROADCAST CAMERA:


DXC-AT camera fits into standard Sony camera cases.

FEATURES:

VISION AND SOUND CONTENT-CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY

• Unique "DualEye" sensing (Sony TM) allows for redundant image generation, with potential for 3D cinema applications.
• Vertical slot-iris technology automatically adapts to ambient light levels.
• Photomultiplier and Super Internal Reflectivity (Sony TM) image sensors permit excellent night vision performance.
• Superb motion tracking and auto-focus achieved using patented whisker array.
• Limited colour imaging may in future be available as an upgrade (optional extra cost)
• Full stereo audio pick-up including ultrasound, using binaural tracking receptors.
• Integral windsocks to reduce wind noise.
• Internal CPU runs on Microsoft Windows CA-T  v1.000 (no upgrades offered).

FORM FACTOR

• Weight is similar to previous silicon-based models, however top handle has been deleted from this model.
• Comfortable padded body with organic texture makes for easy shoulder-mounting.
• One -piece construction, with CAT-X7P triaxial circuitry built in.
• Unit is not dockable; attempts to un-dock camera from CA unit may void warranty.
• Four-point baseplate adapter available. Unit can be secured to Velcro (TM) base, using inbuilt hooks.
• DXC-AT is available in a wide selection of body-sleeve colours (Please specify when ordering, as sleeve cannot be changed after purchase).

INTERFACING

• Multimode socket at rear of unit permits insertion of both triaxial and SMPTE composite optical cabling, with equal degrees of functionality.
• For IP applications, a streaming outlet is located next to the multimode socket.
• Limited storage and recall of acquired content is available on-board, subject to attention-span of the unit, and task-swapping to lick paws, etc.

POWER

• Powering of system requires only two recharges per day.
• Loud audible alarm indicates need for recharging.
• Unit will seek out and utilise available energy sources.
• When not in use the DXC-AT adopts a power-saving stand-by sleep mode, emitting a low frequency status-indicating tone.
• ROHS Compliance: Spent power packs are ejected automatically, although the cable connector (triaxial or SMPTE composite optical) must first be removed from the multimode socket, or unit will eventually explode.
• Inputting of fibre to the unit will increase the rate of ejection of spent power packs.

COMPATIBILITY:

• The DXC-AT is generally unsuitable for multi-camera operations, as many units are mutually incompatible, un-matchable and may not synchronise.
• In such cases, a pink noise alarm or a variable-frequency tone will sound, and the whole production can be safely abandoned before any damage is done to this and other equipment and assets.
• RCP or MSU controllers may have no effect or influence on the function of the DXC-AT.

ACCESSORIES:

• A tray for the disposal of spent power packs may be obtained from 3^rd party OEM suppliers.
• To maintain performance and reduce task-swapping outages,, Sony recommends the use of an EBU flea collar with this unit.

OTHER

• Deliveries from our Osaka factory are sporadic, as units are produced in batches of about six at a time, in accordance with obscure Sony production schedules and the Spring breeding season.
• A service life of approximately 16 years is anticipated.
• Leaky electrolytic capacitors may decrease Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Adoption of the tray accessory (from 3^rd party OEM suppliers) is recommended to collect discharged electrolytes, before hardware is damaged.
• In accordance with current company policy, Sony Spares cannot supply replacement parts for this unit.
• Sony Corporation (Japan) or Sony Worldwide subsidiaries cannot offer any warranty of compliance or performance for this model.
