Ask AVT! - AVT experts answer

?Does AVT offer a substitute for the discontinued Sony DFW-SX710 or DFW-SX910??

Following the discontinuation of these cameras, many users are looking for a replacement offering a similar color reproduction quality. The color matching functions of almost all AVT cameras allow to customize their color rendering and simulate the Sony DFW-SX710 and SX910 color reproduction. For the Sony DFW-SX710 series, we recommend using the Stingray F-080C; emulating the DFW-SX910 series works best with the Stingray F-146C.

Allied Vision Technologies has developed an emulation package for these two cameras for easy implementation.
