Sony's world-leading CCD technology has been adopted to be used as the image sensor forcolor 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 outstandingfeatures that have never been seen in video cameras before. Among these features are highimage 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 thepicture 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 videocameras that before would have been thought impossible.
