Features
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 HDC1500R covers ten video formats, HDC1550R
covers eight video formats, and HDC1400R and
HDC1450R covers two video formats. With the
HDC1500R, signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P from
the camera head is also possible via the Dual Link
interface.
Newly designed integrated unit with low
center of gravity
A stylish appearance with low-slung design has been
adopted. When used in combination with the HDLA1500-
series Large Lens Adaptor, it permits the viewfinder to be
mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder position
closer to the optical axis of the lens.
Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting
A new handle design has been adopted. A slight protrusion
of the upper front part of the handle enables stable holding
of the camera while you are shooting, by holding the front
part of the handle.
Furthermore, the movable range of a front-rear slide
mechanism for the viewfinder attachment has been
widened. Any difference in weight balance caused by
having a different lens attached can be counteracted by
adjusting the viewfinder attachment position, in
combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This
provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on
your shoulder.
Overview

Page 6
Swing handle
The swinging structure of the handle enables the large
viewfinder mounted on the HDLA1500-series Large Lens
Adaptor to be shifted forward, giving it the same total
longitudinal size as a standard studio-use camera, for
operability equivalent to that of a standard studio-use
camera.
Position-adjustable shoulder pad
The position of the shoulder pad can be adjusted for stable
shooting according to the build of the camera operator, the
type of lens in use, or the shooting style.
A low-repulsion shoulder pad (position fixed) is available
as an option (Part No.: A-8286-346-A).
“Memory Stick”
The camera is equipped with a “Memory Stick” port,
which enables setup data storage and software upgrading
using a “Memory Stick.”

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.
Function-assignable switches
The camera has a switch to which various functions can be
assigned on the side panel. You can activate your desired
function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion,
instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in
advance. Switches on the handle are also available as
function assignable switches.
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.
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
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.
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 (HDC1500R only).
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.
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.
TM
Versatile detail control functions
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.

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.
When finished using
Set the power switch to OFF.
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
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
(see page 26).
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.
Condensation
If you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm
place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form
on the lens or inside the camera.
The camera has no built-in condensation indicator. If you
find condensation on the body or lens, switch the camera
off and wait for the condensation 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.

Adjustments and Settings for Shooting
Adjusting the Black Balance and White Balance
In order to maintain high picture quality, it is necessary to
set the black balance and white balance appropriately for
the conditions.
Note
When a camera control unit or a remote control device,
such as MSU-900/950 and the RCP-700/900-series
Remote Control Panel, is connected, the black balance and
white balance are controlled from the external control
device and controls on the camera are disabled.
Black balance adjustment
The black balance needs adjustment in situations like the
following:
• The first time the camera is used
• When the camera is used after a long period of disuse
• When the surrounding temperature changes greatly
• When the gain value is changed using the setup menus
Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance
every time the camera is turned on.
White balance adjustment
Always readjust the white balance when lighting
conditions change.
Automatic adjustment of black balance begins.
In automatic adjustment of black balance, both the black
set and black balance are adjusted.
During adjustment, a message like the one in the figure
below will be displayed on the viewfinder screen.
ABB:EXECUTING
When the adjustment process is completed, the message
“ABB: OK” will be displayed. The adjusted value is
automatically stored in memory.
Notes
• During black balance adjustment, the iris will be
automatically closed.
• During black balance adjustment, the gain switching
circuit will work automatically, and the viewfinder
screen will flicker several times. This is not a
malfunction.
When automatic black balance adjustment fails
If the automatic black balance adjustment process does not
end successfully, the error message “ABB: NG” will be
displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three
seconds.
If this error message is displayed, try black balance
adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed after several
attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.
About the viewfinder screen
After the process of adjusting the black balance or white
balance begins, messages about the progress and results of
the adjustment will be displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Note
Adjusted values set through automatic adjustment, and
other settings, are stored in the camera’s memory and
preserved even when the camera power is turned off.
Adjusting the black balance
Push the AUTO W/B BAL switch toward BLK
(downward).

adjusted values, for a total of 10.
Setting the Electronic Shutter
This section explains the different modes which can be
used for the electronic shutter and gives the procedures for
setting the shutter mode and shutter speed.
Note
When a camera control unit or a remote control device,
such as MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit and RCP-700/
900-series Remote Control Panel, is connected, the
electronic shutter is controlled from the external control
device and control on the camera are disabled.
About the shutter modes
The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic
shutter of the camera and the shutter speeds that may be
selected are as follows:
AWB:OK
Note
When using a zoom lens with automatic iris control
capability, hunting
1)
may occur. Adjust the lens’ iris gain
control (labeled IG, IS, S, etc.).
1) Hunting: The automatic iris responds over and over, and the image
repeatedly darkens and lightens.
For more information, refer to the lens’ operation manual.
When automatic white balance adjustment fails
If the white balance adjustment process does not end
successfully, the error message “AWB: NG” will be
displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three
seconds.
If this error message is displayed, try white balance
adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed after several
attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.
When there is no time to adjust the white balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance
will be set automatically according to the filter settings.
About white balance memory
The white balance values stored in memory will be
preserved even when the camera power is turned off.

With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be
constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue
components varies with the power supply frequency. This
phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the
electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are
certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In
particular, color flicker is evident when the power
frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power frequency is
50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second will
reduce the flicker.
Selecting the shutter mode and speed
The shutter mode, and the shutter speed in standard mode,
are set using the SHUTTER switch.
