Sony HDC700A

Model Details

HD Studio/OB Camera head.The HDC-700 Provides the latest High Definition technology in a compact package. Utilizing newly designed, 2,200,000 pixel, 2/3 inch HD CCDs. (1920 X 1080) the HDC-700A provides 1000 TVL of resolution.

Features:

• High Picture Performance
• Enhanced Operation
• Equipped with newly developed two million pixels FIT CCD imager, the HDC-700A achieves 1080 of active lines per frame.
• The newly developed two million pixel 2/3-inch FIT CCD provides excellent picture quality. For sensitivity, it achieves F8.0 at 2000 Lux.
• The synergistic effect between the CCD sensor structure and the advanced support electronic circuitry enables the HDC-700A to deliver a high luminance S/N ratio of 54 dB (1125 output)/60dB (525 component output).
• A total of two million picture elements assures a high horizontal luminance resolution of 1000 TV lines.
• In the HDC-700A, the combination of FIT charge transfer technique and the CCD sensor reduces the vertical smear to a remarkable level of -125 dB.
• Up to 600% is achieved with HDC-700A.
• Either an HD lens or conventional 2/3 inch lens can be mounted allowing the conventional lens now being used everyday on all Sony 525 cameras and camcorders to be used with the HDC-700A for an easier migration to DTV.
• It is not only integrated into 1125 system but also integrated into conventional 525 environment alternatively. Its 525 output enables integration in both component and composite system or both digital and analog system. When shooting as the 1125 equipment, the aspect ratio can be changed within three modes on monitors -- squeeze, edge clop or letterbox. Its simultaneous 1125/525 output capability even realizes the dual system using the 1125 switcher and 525 switcher alternatively. The possibility of simulcast program is lying before you.
• This function makes it possible to capture clear and blur-free image of fast moving objects. Shutter speed can be selected as 1/100, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 and 1/2000 seconds.
• With HDC-700A, an optional innovative technique involving the vertical shutter mechanism can be applied, allowing it to approach the vertical enhancement capability of the frame integration mode. With Super EVS in use, the charges accumulated in the adjacent lines used in pairs are not simply added before readout. Only a small amount of the charges collected in one of the adjacent lines is added to the entire amount of the charges accumulated in the related line. This result is enhanced vertical resolution with no line flicker or picture blur.
• The HDC-700A inherits a familiar auto setup system of the other successive cameras, which execute adjustment of the camera based on a test signal from a built-in signal generator. Thanks to the stability of CCD images, this camera provides more accurate and reliable auto setup.
