Chapter 1 Introduction

1 Introduction

1 1-1. Overview

The HDC-900/950/930 family is designed to provide a wide range of choices of HDTV and SDTV configurations to fulfill the increasing demands for multiple global digital origination formats from almost all applications including broadcasters, filmmakers, production companies, etc. The HDC-900 Series consists of HDC-900 full size studio model color video camera and the HDC-950/930, its flawless companion portable version. Both of them were developed for both studio and outside application systems, based on several newly developed technologies applied to each

key component such as pickup device, camera head, camera control unit, and so forth.

One of the major design criteria was to easily integrate the most popular Sony digital camera control systems in order to enable the field-proven Sony camera control system and its familiar menu control systems to be used with the HDC-900/950/930, resulting in quick and reliable installation and a wide choice of camera systems implementations - from a single stand-alone camera to a sophisticated Multicamera installation.

1-2. Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP)

Easy-to-setup and highly reliable

Digital processing performs parameters in a digital memory and keeps them intact for long periods of time, resulting in a dramatic reduction of the need for operator adjustment.

With the use of digital processing, further advantages are achieved, such as to easy implementation of this circuitry in ICs and LSIs while increasing reliability.

Precise adjustment

The values of the camera set-up parameters can be defined with great precision by digital processing.

Moreover, variations between cameras, which are very difficult to avoid in analog models, can be reduced to a minimum with digital processing by simply equalizing parameter values.

Flexible signal processing and parameter settings

A significant advantage of digital processing is that it can provide very flexible operation. Many camera parameters can be controlled and each parameter setting can be varied over a wide range of values.

1-3. Sony Design Criteria

There are several important design criteria Sony has taken very seriously in the HDC-900 Series to ensure that it not only provides the features required for these new services, but also has compatibility with existing broadcast environments, and further enhances DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.

•True multi-standard operation from 1080/24P to analog composite (NTSC/PAL).

•The HDC-900 Series must provide higher picture quality than any conventional digital cameras. Operationally, it must be compatible with current Sony color video cameras.

•Digital system architecture should be consistent with current 12-bit digital cameras and the previous models as well so that all types can be mixed together without picture matching difficulties.

•To take full advantage of 12-bit digitization, as many camera processes as possible should be digital, particularly gamma, detail and so on.

•Operational controls and connectors are located in similar positions to those on current Sony HDC and BVP Series cameras, so operators accustomed to these models immediately find the HDC-900 Series familiar and easy to use.

•Existing Sony MSUs, CNUs and RCPs can be used with the HDC-900 Series. Current menu control systems and auto set-up functions are also compatible.

•Capital cost must not be significantly greater than Sony standard definition camera equipment.

1-4. Features of the HDC-900/950/930

Exclusive HAD sensor technology

A new design of CCD has been developed for the HDC-900, HDC-950, and HDC-930. Based on Sony HAD sensor technology and using the on-chip lens structure of the latest Power HAD™ sensors, this CCD is based on the 1920 × 1080 CIF (Common Image Format) and is switchable between progressive mode and interlace mode readout (except HDC-930 which is only available at 1080/60i and 1080/50i without progressive mode). With its light collecting capability dramatically improved, this 2/3-inch type 2.2 millionpixel FIT CCD used in the HDC-900/950 offers an industry-leading sensitivity of f10 at 2,000 lux. It has a limiting horizontal resolution of 1000 TVL/ph, a signal- to-noise ratio of 54 dB (unweighted over 30 MHz) and the outstandingly low vertical smear level of -135 dB*.

The cost effective 2/3- inch type 2.2 million-pixel IT CCD used in the HDC-930 provides equivalent performance as the FIT version CCD excluding the vertical smear level which is provided at -125 dB*

* typical numbers.

12-bit A/D conversion and ADSP (Advanced Digital Signal Processing)

The combination of 12-bit A/D conversion and the new 2.2- million sensor CCD provides excellent color rendition and overall picture quality.

The powerful ADSP circuitry enables camera set-up parameters to be adjusted over a wide range. Menus are used to select the required parameters, such as gain, gamma, flare, pedestal and detail, and with adjustments made from a central Master Set-up Unit

Ergonomic Body Design

For over two decades, Sony has been designing and manufacturing broadcast video cameras and camcorders. In creating these designs, great importance has always been given to achieving control layouts based on the practical, operational requirements of the user. The control layout of the HDC-900 therefore naturally follows that of other HDC and BVP Series cameras. For example, the V/F adjustment and controls for the intercom system, V/F return selection, lens filter selection, etc. are all located in similar positions to previous models, so that operators with experience of Sony cameras can operate this new model intuitively.

The HDC-950/930 portable model features a body that is so compact and lightweight that it opens up new and exciting possibilities in location camera work.

Newly developed ADSP LSIs drastically reduces its power consumption, which helps contribute to the stable operation of the entire system. This design with a low optical axis and superb weight distribution means that the camera can be carried comfortably on the shoulder without causing fatigue. Tripod operation is just as easy, and the HDC-950/930 has all its controls and connectors located in similar positions to those on Sony BVP cameras. Even with a viewfinder, microphone and a standard ENG lens, the total weight of the HDC-950/930 is only around 7 kg (about 16 pounds).

Optical Filter Wheels

Independent ND and CC optical filters are provided on both the HDC-900 and HDC-950/930. The filter drives provided for both 900 and 950/930 are exactly the same, so that common operation is enabled between the hard camera and the portable type when the filter settings are adjusted remotely on a RCP, MSU or RMB750/B150 Remote Control Unit.

Electronic Shutter

The electronically operated shutter provides speeds of 1/100, 1/250, 1/500/, 1/1,000, and 1/2,000 of a second (1080/60i mode).

Clear Scan and ECS (Extended Clear Scan) Sony’s Clear Scan and ECS* functions eliminate banding effects when shooting monitor displays by allowing the shutter speed to be adjusted so that it

exactly matches the various scanning frequencies that are in use. The clear scan shutter speed range is 60.1 to 4300 Hz (1080/60i mode). The ECS function is especially effective under the frequency of 60 Hz or 50 Hz.

*The ECS function is available with the HDC-900 and HDC950

Super EVS

Super EVS (Enhanced Vertical-definition System) raises vertical picture resolution, while minimizing line flicker*. It is ideal for shooting of a stationary subject or still images - the method used for the “Claymation” process, for instance.

* The Super EVS functions when operated at Interlace mode.

Standard 2/3-inch type Lens Mount

Either an HD lens or a standard definition 2/3-inch type format lens can be mounted. This allows standard lenses that are in everyday use with Sony cameras and camcorders to be used with the HDC-900 and HDC950/930.

Memory Stick™ Media Card

Sony Memory Stick™ media card technology provides a new function on both the HDC-900 and HDC-950/930. Camera operators can store their personal preferences for a number of camera set-up parameters and V/F indicators in a personal Memory Stick media card. Whenever one of these memory devices is inserted into its slot on a HDC-900/950/930 camera, the operators particular settings are instantly recalled. All the data stored in one or more Memory Stickmedia cards also can be registered and stored in a standard PC, so that each set of preferences can then be used to initialize individual or groups of cameras.

Multi Matrix

This function enables a particular color in a scene to be selected and its hue and saturation changed.

Adaptive Highlight Control (Auto Knee mode) The Sony ADSP system intelligently monitors the

brightness of all areas of the picture and automatically adapts the knee point/slope for optimum reproduction at that particular scene location within the picture. A typical example is shooting an interior scene which includes a sunlit exterior seen through a window.

Three-channel Skin Tone Detail Correction

The Skin Tone Detail Correction controls the detail level of those objects in a scene with specific color tones. The HDC-900/950/930 allows detail to be set independently for each of three separate color ranges. These colors are not limited to skin tones, but can be set for any color. Detail may be increased or decreased relative to the normal level.

Knee Saturation Function

This function works similar to - Sony’s TruEye™ processor which is one of the most innovative features that Sony ADSP allows. This function - makes it possible to reproduce very natural colors of high contrast scene content. When knee correction is individually applied to the RGB channels, it can lead to color distortion in highlight areas, for example skin tones can tend to look yellow. Knee Saturation processing automatically retains accurate color in these highlight areas to maintain the saturation in those picture areas compressed by the Knee function.

Low-key Saturation

The Knee Saturation function is also effective for lowkey pictures, maintaining saturation to give color reproduction characteristics.

Selectable Gamma and Initial Gain

Several Pre-set Gamma curves and Initial Gain settings are provided to emulate standardized video gamma transfer characteristics. These gamma tables are always accessible and interchangeable via the camera set-up menu.

Variable Black Gamma Range

The Variable Black Gamma Range function helps to precisely control shadow areas. It can help to bring out details from the dark areas of the picture without affecting mid-tones and keeping the absolute black level unchanged. 12-bit A/D and the low noise CCD have extended the prowess of this important subjective picture control.

1-5. Features of the System Components

MSU-700A and MSU-750, Master Set-up Units These MSUs provide a centralized technical control position in a multi-camera system.

The MSU-700A is designed for use mounted with its control panel horizontal while the MSU-750 is designed for mounting vertically. They have been designed to allow comprehensive, wide ranging, technical supervision and alignment of a complex camera system from a single centralized panel. If it is desirable to extend this supervision to more than one control location (for example separate operational and engineering/maintenance control centers) then a number of MSU panels can form part of a large camera system. The MSU-700A and the MSU-750 are designed to work in conjunction with the Command Network Units CNU-700 and CNU-500. However, in a single-camera system, these MSUs can operate alone. They provide rapid, finger-tip access to all controls relating to the smooth functioning of an operational system, including:

•Technical alignment controls for the entire camera chain

•Picture and waveform monitor switching

•System configuration

•Control data filing

•Precise picture adjustment

Some of the important control functions that can be made from these MSUs are described below.

HKC-T950, HD CCD Block Adaptor

The new HKC-T950 HD CCD Block Adaptor, which is a unique accessory of HDC-950 and HDC-930 portable cameras, allows the CCD block to be extended from the camera body by up to 10 m (up to 50 m with an optional cable). Therefore, more creative camera shooting such as in space limited or awkward environments is possible, thus expanding HD camera applications. The viewfinder can be detached from the CCD block depending on the environment of the application. The HKCT950 can also be mounted on a

front or bottom of Helicopter (e.g. using Wescam products) or a mini-crane.

HDCU-900/950, Camera Control Units

Two camera control units are available for use with the HDC-900/950: the full size HDCU-900 and half rack HDCU-950. The HDCU-900 has been designed to support both the HDC-900 Studio Camera and HDC950 Portable Camera in fixed environments for maximum expandability, flexibility, and full controllability. The compact HDCU-950 CCU is intended for mobile use but provides controllability almost equivalent to the HDCU-900. As standard, the HDCU-900 has four sets of HD SDI SMPTE 292M signal outputs and V/F return inputs, plus four sets of digitally down-converted SDI SMPTE 259M outputs and four digitally up-converted V/F return inputs.The HDCU-950 has three sets of input/output interfaces for HD SDI SMPTE 292M signal outputs and V/F return inputs, and digitally down-converted SDI SMPTE 259M outputs and up-converted V/F return inputs.

A variety of optional interface expansion boards are available for both units. The HKCU-901, HKCU-902, HKCU-903 and HKCU-904 are for use with the HDCU900, and the HKCU-

951 and HKCU-953 are for the HDCU-950. As for the HDCU-900, the HKCU-901 SD Encoder Boards provide analog NTSC and PAL VBS signal outputs and V/F return inputs, and analog component output. The HKCU-902 HD Analog Interface Board enables HD Analog output and input (as defined by SMPTE 240M). Furthermore, the HKCU-903 Frame Converter Boards provide 2:3 pull-down to change the picture format between 24P and progressive 30 frames. And lastly, the HKCU-904 Line Converter Board has the capability to convert 1080-line pictures into 720-line pictures, and provides four sets of HD-SDI outputs and V/F return inputs. The HKCU-951 and HKCU-953 used with the portable HDCU-950 CCU provide equivalent functions to the above HKCU-901 and HKCU-903.

Optical Fiber Digital Transmission

The cable connecting the HDCU-900/950 CCU to an HDC900 or HDC-950/930 camera uses two singlemode optical fiber lines, two control lines, and two power lines to carry digitized video, audio, control signals and power to the camera. An extremely highquality, all-digital bi-directional video and audio signal can be transmitted up to a distance of 3 km (1.86 miles)* with the HDCU-900 and up to 1.2 km (0.75 miles)* with the HDCU-950. This cable and connector conforms to the SMPTE standard.

*When supplying power to the camera via the optical fiber cable, the maximum cable length varies with the camera system configuration and lens type, the size of the optical fiber cable and the number of cable connectors.

Safety Oriented Power Supply

As safety is a major design concept of every Sony design, the HDCU-900/950 continuously checks the camera cable for open or short circuits. An alarm is given if a fault is found and some appropriate precautionary actions taken, case by case.

An additional safety feature is that a low voltage is initially supplied from the HDCU-900 optical fiber connector when the unit is switched on. Only when the system check has verified that an appropriate camera is connected is the normal operating voltage output.

Locking to External Reference Signals

The HDCU-900/950 can be locked to an external reference signal. Either a HD tri-level sync signal (according to SMPTE 240M), or an SD black burst signal can be used as the reference signal.

RCP-750/751, Remote Control Panels

Two types of RCP-750 Series Remote Control Panels are also available, providing a range of control functions from the basic to very sophisticated for operational adjustments of an HDC-900/950/930. Each type is available with either a joystick or dial type iris control.

RM-B750, Remote Control Unit

The RM-B750 Remote Control Unit has been designed to establish a highly mobile and fully controllable camera system in the field by integrating control capability equivalent to a Master Set-up Unit into a compact unit powered from the device to be controlled.

communication between all the units in the system. A RISC-based microprocessor system provides highspeed transfer of command signals to the HDCU-900/ 950 CCU for rapid response. The CNU-500 is for use in systems with up to six cameras and the CNU-700 is for use in larger systems. One CNU-700 can also control six cameras, but can be expanded to control up to 12 cameras when fitted with an optional expansion board. Several CNU-700 units can be connected to the camera control network in a large system.

HDVF-C700W and HDVF-C750W, Multi-format LCD HD Color Viewfinders

The viewfinders developed for the HDC-900 and HDC950/930 cameras are of a new, innovative design that is based on a 6-type TFT color LCD panel providing a resolution of 960 pixels horizontally x 540 pixels vertically. These viewfinders feature very low power consumption and, as they are very compact, their panning and tilting angles are greater than those of CRT-based viewfinders. The HDVF-C700W is for use with the HDC-900 camera and the HDVF-C750W for use with the HDC-950/930 portable camera.

*The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99 %. Thus a very small proportion of pixels (at most 0.01 %) may be “stuck”, constantly on or constantly off. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixel may appear spontaneously. These problems have been kept to an absolute minimum, but are an unavoidable characteristic of liquid crystal technology.

HDVF-700A and HDVF-20A, CRT-based Viewfinders The monochrome CRT-based viewfinders, HDVF700A (7-type) and HDVF-20A (2-type), can also be used with the HDC-900/950/930.

In addition to the MSU-700A/750 Master Set-up Unit and several types of RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panels, the CNU-700 and CNU-500 Camera Command Network Units form the command nerve center for a new concept in a camera control system. A wide selection of control peripherals allows each user to configure the most suitable system to meet a specific operational need. The following are the key peripherals.

Master Set-up Unit (MSU-700A and MSU-750)

The MSU-700A/750 Master Set-up Unit can control up to 6 cameras (up to 12 cameras by using an expansion board - BKP-7930) in combination with the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit. The adoption of an EL Touch Panel in the MSU-700A/750 helps to simplify the operation of its sophisticated control system. Data such as scene files can be stored in a world-standard PCMCIA memory card.

Camera Command Network Units (CNU-700 and CNU-500)

The Camera Command Network Units are designed to be the nerve center of the Sony camera control system for the newly developed HDC-900/950/930 family and the conventional BVP-900/700/500 SD Series of cameras. They work as ‘Command Selector’, ‘Command Distributor’ and ‘Command Arbitrator’. These two types of camera command network units give a cost/performance choice. The CNU-500 is suitable for applications with up to six cameras, while the standard six-camera capability of the CNU-700 can be expanded to 12 cameras with use of the BKP7930 optional expansion board. The carefully designed software and the high-speed CPU of both

the CNU-700 and CNU-500 give them a fast response time whatever the system configuration.

Video Selector (VCS-700)

The VCS-700 Video Selector is used to switch composite video monitoring signals from an HDC-900 Series multi-camera system to a picture monitor and waveform monitor. The VCS-700 accepts the video monitoring signal from up to six HDCU-900 or HDCU950 Camera Control Units and switches these signals to two picture monitor outputs and two waveform monitor outputs. The selection of monitoring signals can be controlled by the camera selection buttons on the MSU-700A/750 Master Set-up Unit, or by external control equipment through the D-sub 37-pin I/O port on the VCS-700. For SDI monitoring, the optional BKP7933 S-Bus Interface Board provides connection to a Sony digital routing system.

Remote Control Panels (RCP-700 Series)

There are four ranges of remote control panels for remote control of the HDC-900 Series via the HDCU900/950 Camera Control Unit. For the iris and master black adjustments, each range has two types - joystick control and dial control.

The RCP-750/751 is the newly developed, top of the range for sophisticated operational use, and can be used as a substitute for the MSU-700A/750 Master Setup Unit. The panel is connected to the HDCU-Series Camera Control Unit (or the CNU-Series Camera Command Network Unit, which is connected to the HDCU-Series) by a special cable of up to 200 m (656 ft) in length.

The RCP-700/701 features the basic control items required for daily operation of camera acquisition systems.

2-5. Viewfinders

As well as the HDVF-700A, a high performance 7-type multi-format electronic monochrome viewfinder with extremely high horizontal resolution, the HDVF-C700W 6-type multi-format LCD color viewfinder is also available for the HDC-900. This multi-format LCD color viewfinder is especially convenient for cases where color needs to be identified by the camera operator. For the HDC-950, the HDVF-C750W - a 6-type multiformat LCD color viewfinder and the HDVF-20A - a 2-

type HD monochrome electronic viewfinder are newly designed, which fulfill the requirement for different applications.

All of these models are very compact in size, light in weight and economical in power consumption. The low mounting positions of the HDVF-700A and HDVFC700W provide convenient viewfinder displays aligned as close as possible to the lens axis.
