BENEFITS OF SONY ADSP

5-1. Full DSP Camera Processing

The BVP-900 Series uses 12-bit A/D conversion based on the latest
LSI technology. This advanced technology has allowed Sony to take a
major step forward from the 10-bit conversion of its previous
generation of cameras – a move that was not possible with earlier
A/D converters and DSP LSIs.
(a) Multi Matrix
Multi Matrix is a function that electrically adjusts the basic RGB
color 'taking characteristics' of the camera to achieve optimum
colorlimetry. It makes it easy to match the color of cameras under
multi-camera operations, or to reproduce the characteristics of
another type of camera. It can also be used to manipulate color for a
particular special effect. A conventional linear matrix function
provides only six adjustable parameters, with considerable
interaction between their effect on a specific color. Multi Matrix
divides the spectrum into 16 segments, each of 22.5 degrees, for
each of which there is an independent hue and saturation parameter.
Multi Matrix allows the selection of each of these segments, with
separate adjustment of hue and saturation parameters. Operation
flow is as follows:
1) Select Multi Matrix on the paint menu of the MSU-700 Master
Set-up Unit.
2) Turn the Matrix and the Multi switches to ON.
3) The MSU-700 EL display now shows a representation of the
Multi Matrix as it would appear on a vectorscope. You can
select the desired color phase that you want to adjust.
4) After selection of the color phase, its hue and saturation can
be adjusted.
