Sony is pleased to introduce

were freed from many of the limitations
imposed for years by tube technology
By combining the experience gained in the production of tens of thousands of professional
CCD cameras, and a near generation of CCD sensors, Sony engineers have achieved a
quantum leap in the performance of solid state cameras.
Integrating a higher density CCO array (developed to increase
resolution while actually
decreasing noise) with signal processing developed to complement the unique characteristics
of CCO's, the OXC-Ml actually produces a better picture than could even be hoped for in a
tube camera at anywhere near the same cost.
Lessons learned from thousands of customers have also led to a system of camera
ergonomics, controls and accessories more flexible than any other camera ever equipped to
the professional video community
