This next generation Leaf Valeo is being introduced with an innovative wireless display on two models: the Leaf Valeo 22Wi and the new Leaf Valeo 17Wi, with resolutions of 22 and 17 million pixels respectively. Both camera backs feature an unmatched fast capture rate, optimized 3:4 format ratio CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. , Portable Power technology, and In-Studio Large Format Power. The new Leaf Valeo Wi family uses built-in Bluetooth(R) wireless technology to accomplish two-way communication Two-way communication is a form of transmission in which both parties involved transmit information. Common forms of two-way communication are:
The Leaf Valeo Wi family is the fastest digital back system in the market at 1.2 sec/frame with its unique DSR (1) (Data Set Ready) An RS-232 signal sent from the modem to the computer or terminal indicating that it is able to accept data. Contrast with DTR. (2) (Dynamic Source R (Dual Sensor Readout (1) A small display device that typically shows only a few digits or a couple of lines of data. (2) Any display screen or panel. ) technology (patent pending). DSR technology achieves record capture rate by utilizing the CCD two-channel simultaneous readout. Both the 17 mega pixel and the 22 mega pixel CCDs present an optimized 3:4 format for a classic photographic ratio that's efficient and minimizes cropping. Leaf's Large Format Power turns existing large format analog cameras into digital systems, allowing users to control aperture and shutter speed In a still camera, the length of time that the shutter is open, exposing the film (analog) or CCD or CMOS sensor (digital) to light for a single image. In a camcorder, the shutter speed is the frame speed; for example, 24, 30 or 60 frames per second (fps). See exposure and shutter lag. from their computer. The electronic lens control allows speeds up to 1/500 sec in 1/10 f-stop intervals producing accurate and consistent shutter performance. A Live Video View feature enables easy and accurate composition by superimposing a designer layout over the live image as well as on sensor absolute focusing. The 16-bit A/D A/D See advance-decline line (A/D). (analog to digital) converter assures the widest tonal range for rich and smooth tonal transitions. An advanced scaling algorithm enables a smooth film-like look in high-scale enlargements for files over 300 MB.
