Sony DXC-D55WS Camera

This camera is designed for great picture quality and ease of use, with 16:9/4:3-switchable aspect ratio and high-performance Power HAD™ EX CCD sensor and NEW 14-bit A/D conversion built into a highly sophisticated LSI.

The result is superior picture quality, high sensitivity, plus low noise and smear characteristics. A variety of automatic functions have also been included, allowing easy and convenient operation in any shooting scenario.

Allowing for excellent system versatility, two types of camera-control units are available. For studio multicore use, the CCU-D50 is the perfect choice, and the CCU-TX50 is the choice for studio and triax applications. The RCP-D50/D51 Remote Controllers can also be used with either system.
Note: Lens and rear-mounted camera adaptor rented separately.
Consult your VER representative for expert advice.
