Overview
The HDC1000R is a 2/3-type high-definition video camera
for studio and OB-van use for 2,200,000 pixels. It
incorporates the latest pickup elements and digital signalprocessing LSI to yield higher picture quality and higher
stability in image creation while maintaining conventional
popular functions and operability.
Features
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal,
which can be added only on images on the viewfinder
screen in order to facilitate focusing in various situations:
Functions for coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the
VF detail signal by adding modulation, thickening the VF
detail signal, and automatically compensating the VF
detail level according to the zoom position.
Focus assist indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen
provides a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be
easily determined by observing fluctuation of the level
indicator as a guide.
High picture quality and high performance
The new 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels
conforms to driving formats up to 1080/59.94P, achieving
high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the 14-bit A/D
converter and a unique signal-processing LSI provide
picture quality of optimal grade.
Multiple formats
The HDC1000R covers 1080/50i and 59.94i
interlace,1080/23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, and 29.97PsF
Progressive Scan (PsF) systems. It also covers 720/50P
and 59.94P systems. Signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P
from the camera head is possible via the Dual Link
interface.
Newly designed unit with low center of
gravity
The basic design has been reworked. The stylish
appearance with low-slung design permits the viewfinder
to be mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder
position closer to the optical axis of the lens for highly
efficient operations.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation
function
The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
(ALAC) is provided with this camera. This automatically
reduces chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens
that supports auto aberration compensation is attached.
For details on lenses supporting auto aberration
compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony
service representative.
“Memory Stick”
The camera is equipped with a “Memory Stick” port,
which enables setup data storage and software upgrading
using a “Memory Stick.”

operation
Various color-reproduction functions
Selection of multiple gamma tables
Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables
are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values
enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic
range, which are different from those achieved with
conventional video gamma.
HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application Software
Installing the HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application
Software enables the camera to support CvpFileEditor
and RGB4:4:4 outputs.
For details, refer to the HZC-UG444 Operation Manual.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-axis matrix function, the camera
has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the
hue and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions
independently. This is quite useful in color matching
among multiple cameras.
Knee saturation
Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in
highlighted areas can be compensated.This enables
reproduction of natural skin tones under strong lighting.
TM
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
Low key saturation
Hue and saturation in low-key zones can be compensated.
Thus, compensation for color reproduction in all zones is
enabled in combination with matrix color compensation
and knee saturation functions.
Overview
5
Versatile detail control functions
Basic System Configuration
Skin-tone detail function
This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of
the detail level for just a certain hue or chroma area in the
image, by creating a detail gate signal from color
components of your specified hue, such as skin tones.
The detail levels of three hues can be adjusted
independently at the same time.
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz.
This allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for
the subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.
H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.
White/black limiter
The white and black details can be limited independently.
Easy menu-based setting
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items,
safety-zone marker
marker, etc. can be made quickly and easily, using setup
menus displayed on the viewfinder screen or an external
monitor.
2) Safety zone marker: A box-shaped marker displayed on the viewfinder
screen which indicates 80%, 90%, 92.5%, or 95% of the total screen area.
3) Center marker: A cross-shaped marker which indicates the center of the
viewfinder screen.

Note
Production of some of the peripherals and related devices

For advice on choosing devices, please contact your Sony
dealer or a Sony sales representative.
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern,
4)
a safety-zone marker, and a center marker,
camera settings may also be displayed on the viewfinder
screen. Furthermore, there are other indicators arranged
above and below the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp,
battery warning indicator, and an indicator to tell you that
one or more settings are other than standard. This makes
it simple to check the status of the camera.
4) Zebra pattern: A stripe pattern displayed on the viewfinder screen which
indicates the portions where the video level is above about 70% or 100%.
Used to check the video level of the subject.
Optical digital transmission
The camera uses electro-optical coding cable for 1.5gigabit digital optical transmission between the camera
and a Camera Control Unit.
Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply
from the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

Precautions
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene
that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam
become directed into the lens of the camera.
Do not subject to severe shocks
Damage to the case or internal components may result.
Operation and storage environment
Store in a level place with air conditioning.
If the unit gets wet, make sure it is completely dry before
storage.
Avoid use or storage in the following places:
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Places with high humidity
• Places with strong vibration
• Near strong magnetic fields
• In places where it receives much direct sunlight, or near
heating equipment
Smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight
or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced
on the screen, or the image may be distorted.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
Dew condensation
If you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm
place, or use it in a damp location, dew may form on the
lens or inside the camera.
The camera has no built-in dew indicator. If you find dew
on the body or lens, switch the camera off and wait for the
dew to disappear for about one hour.
Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are
specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors.
They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with highprecision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated
on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and
is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
This product has a compensation function and the problem
may be alleviated by automatic black balance adjustment.
