HDC-1500
HDC-1000
The Sony HDC-1000 system camera family is based on more than 20 years of development of HD TV systems and has been the first choice for literally hundreds of broadcasters for both studio and OB applications. Many thousands of HDC-1000 systems have been sold around the world since the introduction in 2005 and the family has continued to improve and grow since then. Recent additions include the acclaimed HDC-3300 Slow-motion system (in a separate brochure) and the HDC-1400 and HDC1450 dual format cameras.
A major reason for this popularity is the wide rangeofsystempartswhichallowcustomers 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 progressiveframespersecondinthenormal 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.

Cutting-edge Technologies
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-megapixelHDCCD. BasedonSonyHAD sensor technology and the latest on-chip lensstructure, thisCCDoffersahighsensitivity of F11 at 2,000 lx and an excellent signal- to-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

2The 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 processedwithmaximumprecision. Inparticular,
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-bitA/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
ThenewlydevelopedDSP(DigitalSignalProcessing)LSI“VisualImageProcessor” isatthe heartoftheimage-processingdeviceforthe 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.

HDLA-1500/HDLA-1505/HDLA-1507 – Maximising Operability
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 betweeneachdevice. WiththeHDLA-1500/ HDLA-1505 Large Lens Adaptor, timeconsumingadjustments, aswellasre-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.
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 allowstheportablecamerastobeattached and detached without removing the large lens. Furthermore, the lens can be removed even when the camera is mounted on the HDLA-1500/HDLA-1505adaptor. Theinterlocking 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.
