Sony's world-leading CCD technology has been adopted to be used as the image sensor for
color video cameras, adding yet another page to the history of Sony innovations in this field.
The innovative 3-chip technology housed in these cameras provides many outstanding
features that have never been seen in video cameras before. Among these features are high
image burning resistance, low lag, excellent picture reproduction, permanent registration,
superior durability and reliabili~ high sensitivi~ freedom from magnetic field interference,
high resistance to vibration and shock, and compactness. Yet, no sacrifice is made in the
picture quali~ which approaches that of high quality 3-tube cameras. Without a doubt,
Sony's 3-chip CCD technology has opened up a world of exciting applications for video
cameras that before would have been thought impossible.

Versatile Power Supplies
In the field, the DXC-3000A
can operate for
approximately 100 minutes,
continuously, with one NP-1A
battery installed inside the
camera or 200 minutes with
two NP-1A batteries encased
in the optional DC-8 battery
adaptor which can be
conveniently attached to the
back of camera. For longer operations, the DXC-3000A
can be powered by either Anton Bauer batteries or an
external power supply of DC 12 V connected to the XLR
EXT DC IN connector.
In the studio, the CMA-8 AC Power Adaptor is used for AC
operation.
