A major reason for this popularity is the wide
range of system parts which allow customers
to configure an HD camera system for
almost any application they require. These
parts include a selection of viewfinders, two
Camera Control Units, six Remote Control
Panels as well as comprehensive connectivity and control options and interfaces for
Hybrid Fibre and Triax cabling. The innovative Large Lens and CRT adapters allow a
portable camera to be docked with Studio
peripherals almost instantly. No re-cabling
or adjustment is required thanks to the camera ‘hot-shoe’ electrical interface and
lens registration features.
No less important is the ability to capture
superb images in all world wide standards,
both progressive and interlaced, in 1080 or
720 formats and at multiple frame rates.
The amazing picture quality achieved
by this new camera system is due to the
development of an improved CCD and a
completely new Digital Signal Processing
LSI. The CCD is capable of capturing full HD
resolution (1080 x 1920) images at up 60
progressive frames per second in the normal
camera and 180 interlaced frames per
second in the unique, 3 x slow motion
camera. The DSP in turn allows the camera
operator unparalleled freedom of control
over the ‘look’ of the images without
unwanted side effects. New user functions
include multi matrix and variable black
gamma.
Sony HDC cameras are manufactured in our
dedicated factory in Pencoed – South Wales, to the
highest environmental standards.

Newly Developed Progressive CCD
At the heart of the outstanding picture performance of the HDC-1000 Series of cameras is a newly developed 2⁄3-inch type
2.2-megapixel HD CCD. Based on Sony HAD
sensor technology and the latest on-chip
lens structure, this CCD offers a high sensitivity
of F11 at 2,000 lx and an excellent signalto-noise ratio of 54 dB (typical).
In addition to this performance, a wide variety of capturing modes including 1080/50i,
1080/59.94i, 1080/23.98P, 1080/24P, 1080/25P,
and 1080/29.97P are available.
What’s more, this CCD can capture topquality 1080/59.94P1 and 1080/50P1 images
- a capability that also offers highest possible quality 720/50P and 720/59.94P image
acquisition.

1 1080/59.94P and 1080/50P signals can be output only
from the HDC-1000/HDC-1500 camera head in a
stand-alone configuration via dual-link.
2 The HDC-1400/HDC-1450 supports 1080/50i and
720/50p.
High-quality 14-bit A/D Conversion
The HDC-1000 Series of cameras incorporates a high-performance 14-bit A/D
converter that enables images captured
by the high-performance CCDs to be processed with maximum precision. In particular,
this high-resolution A/D conversion allows
the gradation in mid-to-dark-tone areas
of the picture to be faithfully reproduced.
Thanks to the 14-bit A/D converter, pre-knee
signal compression at highlight areas can
be eliminated and the camera can clearly
reproduce a high-luminance subject at
a 600% dynamic range.
State-of-the-art DSP LSI
The newly developed DSP (Digital Signal Processing) LSI “Visual Image Processor” is at the
heart of the image-processing device for the
HDC-1000 Series of cameras. By adopting
the latest 0.11 mm design rule, this processor can accommodate up to 1080/59.94
and 1080/50 progressive formats and
14-bit resolution, maximising the high-clarity
images captured by the CCD. In addition,
white balance, white shading, and flare
are digitally corrected, allowing for stable
image correction. Processing is performed
with more than 30 bits accuracy to ensure
freedom from rounding artefacts.

Great Operability
Ergonomic Design
The design of the HDC-1000 Series of cameras is based on over two decades of Sony experience in manufacturing broadcast video
cameras and camcorders, and provides a
high level of operability. All control switches
and connectors are in the most logical places for optimum functionality and ease of
use. The low-profile body of the HDC-1000
camera minimises the parallax between
the optical axis of the camera head and
the large viewfinder, while the HDC-1400/
HDC-1450/HDC-1500/HDC-1550’s low centre
of gravity design allows the operator to carry
the camera comfortably on the shoulder.
In addition, the shoulder pad of these cameras can be adjusted either forwards or
backwards without using a screwdriver, so
the camera can easily be moved to a wellbalanced position.
Optical Fibre Digital Transmission
(HDC-1000/HDC-1400/HDC-1500)
The HDC-1000/HDC-1400/HDC-1500 camera
comes equipped with an SMPTE standard
optical fibre interface for connecting its associated HDCU-1000/HDCU-1500 Camera
Control Unit.
In addition to its exceptional quality, the
camera can transmit all-digital bi-directional video and audio signals, one control
line, and prompter line over extremely long
distances – up to 3000 meters (9843 feet)3
with the HDCU-1000 and 1800 meters (5906
feet)3 with the HDCU-1500.
3 When supplying power to the camera via the optical
fibre cable, the maximum cable length varies with
the camera system configuration, lens type, and the
number of cable connectors.
Choice of Two Camera
Control Systems
In a multi-camera configuration featuring
the HDC-1000 Series, two types of camera
control system can be used. One is based on
the CNU-700 Camera Command Network
Unit at the centre of the configuration,
while the other makes use of the Ethernet
functionality of the systems – a new and
powerful feature that also provides a path
to the future. Both control systems allow
communication between all the devices
in the configuration, including cameras,
camera control units, remote controllers,
and setup units.
Wide-band Triax Transmission
(HDC-1450/HDC-1550)
The HDC-1450/HDC-1550 camera comes
equipped with a widely-used triax transmission interface. This enables the camera to
transmit bi-directional video and audio signals, and one control line to the HDCU-1000/
HDCU-1500 Camera Control Unit via the
HDFX-100 unit over long distances - up to
1400 meters (4593 feet)4 with a ø14.5 mm
triax cable or 1000 meters (3281 feet)4 with
a ø11 mm triax cable.
4 When supplying power to the camera via the triax
cable, the maximum cable length varies with the
camera system configuration, lens type, the size of the
triax cable, and the number of cable connectors.
Compact and Lightweight
HDC-1400/HDC-1500/HDC-1550 portable
cameras are designed to be very compact
and lightweight for a high level of mobility
in the field. The HDC-1400/HDC-1500 and
HDC-1450/HDC-1550 cameras weigh approximately 4.5 kg and 4.9 kg respectively.
Versatile Interfaces
The HDC-1000/HDC-1500 camera and the
HDC-1400/HDC-1450/HDC-1550 camera
provide two HD-SDI outputs and one HD-SDI
output respectively, as well as one digitally
down-converted SD-SDI or analogue composite output. In addition, the viewfinder
signals with characters can be output from
the SD-SDI output connector, giving camera
operators additional convenience. Furthermore, for 24P5 operation, the built-in 2-3
pull-down function of the cameras enables 59.94i down-converted SD signals to
be output on a standard SD monitor.
5 Not supported by HDC-1400/HDC-1450
Memory Stick Storage of Camera
Setup Parameters
The HDC-1000 Series is capable of saving and
recalling setup parameters such as scene
files, reference files, and lens files via Memory
Stick™ media. This allows users to effectively
manage camera parameters for individual
scenes, plus the specific camera-setup preferences of individual operators, such as
viewfinder indicator settings.
Servo-controlled ND and CC Filters
The HDC-1000/HDC-1500/HDC-1550 camera
comes equipped with dual optical filters
for ND (Neutral Density) and CC (Colour
Correction), while the HDC-1400/HDC-1450
camera is equipped with a single optical filter
for ND and electronic colour correction.
The filters can be remotely controlled
from an RCP Series Remote Control Panel,
MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit, or RM-B750/
B150 Remote Control Unit as well as locally
controlled on the camera head.

Responding to the ever-increasing
requirement of operations that
combine a portable camera with
a large lens, Sony has developed
the optimum solution.
The highly sophisticated HDLA-1500
and HDLA-1505 Large Lens Adaptors
are designed to maximise operability
of the HDC-1400/HDC-1450/HDC-1500/
HDC-1550 camera. Until now, setting up a
portable camera with a large lens adaptor has been a difficult task, especially
fine-tuning the mechanical adjustments
between each device. With the HDLA-1500/
HDLA-1505 Large Lens Adaptor, timeconsuming adjustments, as well as re-wiring,
are absolutely eliminated.
Another convenient peripheral for the
portable cameras, the HDLA-1507 Large
Viewfinder Adaptor, is also available,
enabling a large viewfinder to be used with
the portable camera.

Docking 1
Open the rear cover of the HDLA Series
adaptor. There is no need to detach the
viewfinder.
Totally New Interlocking
Mechanism
The HDLA-1500/HDLA-1505/HDLA-1507
adaptor does not require any cable
wirings. Utilising a newly developed interlocking mechanism, the power, video
and control signals are passed on directly
from the portable cameras to the HDLA
Series adaptor. This unique mechanism also
allows the portable cameras to be attached
and detached without removing the large
lens. Furthermore, the lens can be removed
even when the camera is mounted on the
HDLA-1500/HDLA-1505 adaptor. The interlocking mechanism allows for an astonishingly
quick and smooth setup.
Low-profile Design
Together with the low-profile design of the
portable camera, the viewfinder position
of the HDLA-1500 is 45 mm lower than
the previous model. This low-profile design
significantly improves the operator’s view,
as well as minimizes the parallax between
the optical axis of the camera head and
viewfinder.

The Digital Extender function of the
HDC-1000 Series of cameras2 enables
images at the centre of the shot to be
digitally doubled in size. Unlike lens extenders, the Digital Extender function performs
this capability without any loss in image
sen-sitivity.
1 Use of the digital extender function will reduce the
resolution of the image by half.
2 The HDC-1400/HDC-1450 do not support the digital
extender function.

Triple Skin Tone Detail Correction
Skin Tone Detail Correction controls the detail
level of those objects in a scene with specific
colour tones.
The HDC-1000 Series of cameras allows detail
to be set independently for each of three
separate colour ranges. These colours are
not limited to skin tones, but can be set for
any colour. Detail may be increased or decreased relative to the normal level.

Multi-matrix
The Multi-matrix function of the HDC-1000 Series
of cameras allows colour adjustments to be
applied over the colour range specified by the
operator. The colour spectrum is divided into
16 areas of adjustment, where the hue and/or
saturation of each area can be modified.
This function is especially useful when only the
hue of certain colours needs to be adjusted
in critical applications.
Page 9

Knee Saturation
Traditionally, very bright parts of a scene
(such as key light from a person’s forehead)
suffer from a loss of saturation or a change in
hue. The HDC-1000 family provide a ‘Knee
Saturation’ function, which can counteract this effect and achieve a more natural
appearance in these difficult areas.
Selectable Gamma Table
The selectable gamma table provided with
the HDC-1000 Series cameras allows users
to create a specific look for a picture by
selecting from a choice of fixed gamma
patterns.
Variable Black Gamma
The Variable Black Gamma function
for the HDC-1000 Series of cameras allows
for fine adjustment of tonal reproduction in
the shadow area. This feature can help to
bring out details from the dark parts of the
picture without affecting mid-tones while
maintaining the absolute black level.

Low-key Saturation
With conventional cameras, low light areas
can be subject to a reduction in saturation.
This can result in colours in those areas being
lost. The Low-Key Saturation function on the
HDC-1000 Series of cameras eliminates this
problem by optimising the amplification of
colour saturation at low light levels, providing
more natural colour reproduction.
Page 10
The HDC-1000 Series of cameras
is compatible with a variety of peripherals including camera control
units, remote controllers, command
network units, and master setup units.
This allows operators to flexibly configure the system according to their
needs both in the studio and out in
the field. Optional triax adaptors are
available for the HDC-1000/
HDC-1400/HDC-1500 optical fibrebased camera to enable triax-based
operation.

HD Triax Adaptor (Camera side)
HD Triax Adaptor (HDCU side)
The HDTX-100 and HDFX-100 HD Triax Adaptors are available to convert optical fibre
transmission to the widely-used triax transmission. The HDTX-100 adaptor is used with
the HDC-1000/HDC-1400/HDC-1500 camera1 to convert their camera output to triax,
while the HDFX-100 adaptor is used with the HDCU-1000/HDCU-1500 camera control
unit to receive triax signals from the camera side.
The triax-based system enables high-quality pictures to be transmitted from the
cameras over long distances - up to 1400 meters (4593 feet)2 with a ø14.5 mm triax
cable or 1000 meters (3281 feet)2 with a ø11 mm triax cable. In addition, the HDTX-100
adaptor enables hybrid triax and optical fibre operation. In this case, longer cable runs
of more than 2000 meters (6562 feet)2 can be achieved with the HDC-1400/HDC-1500
portable camera that is equipped with a portable lens and a small viewfinder.
1 The HDC-1450/HDC-1550 does not require the HDTX-100 unit because it is equipped with a triax output
as standard.
2 When supplying power to the camera via the optical fibre cable and/or triax cable, the maximum cable
length varies with the camera system configuration, lens type, viewfinder type, diameter of the triax cable
and the number of cable connectors.
