HDC-170 0
HD Camera System
HDC U -1700
Camera Control Unit
Sony introduces the new HDC-1700 Dual-format HD Camera System
equipped with sophisticated three-chip 2/3-inch CCD image sensors and
the latest 16-bit A/D converter to provide superior picture quality.
The HDC-1700 supports HD and SD signal formats including 1080/50i,
1080/59.94i, 720/50p, and 720/59.94p. For flexibility, there are many
HDC Series accessories that can be utilized, such as optional HD viewfinders
and large lens adaptors. And the HDC-1700 is a truly cost-effective camera
that also delivers genuine user-friendness.
Superb Image Quality with Cutting-edge
Technologies
With 2/3-inch CCD image sensors, the newly developed digital signal
processor (DSP) LSI provides superior S/N levels as well as better
functionality. Also, a 16-bit A/D converter produces optimal visual
imagery and enhanced black reproduction.
Adaptive Matrix Function
With the Adaptive Matrix function, images with well-balanced details can
be reproduced even in strong monochromatic light conditions, such as at
stage events.
Auto Lens Chromatic Aberration Compensation
(ALAC-2)
With the newly designed DSP LSI, the ALAC-2 function automatically
compensates for lens chromatic aberration. ALAC-2 works in both
horizontal and vertical directions.
* Lenses need to be corresponded to ALAC feature.
Options Expand Usage
There are many optional accessories for the HDC-1700, including the
HKC-DF20 Dual Optical Filter Unit and HZC-PSF20 Signal Format Software
(1080/23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p). These options supports a range of
different shooting scenes and requirements.
Spirit Level
With the MEMS-Acceleration Sensor, the horizontal level can be displayed
on the viewfinder screen, which helps particularly with wide-angle shooting.
HDLA Large Lens Adaptor Maximizes Operability
HDLA-1500, HDLA-1505, and HDLA-1507 adaptors maximize the
operability of the HDC-1700. These optional adapters provide flexibility
when applications require a large studio lens, and camera operators
want to maintain hard camera control. They facilitate simple connectivity
without time-consuming wiring and adjustments.
1.5 Gbps Optical Fiber Transmission
The HDC-1700 is capable of long-distance signal transmission up to
2,000 meters with the HDCU-1700 Camera Control Unit.
* The HDC-170 0 is only used in combination with the HDCU-1700.
HDCU-1700 Camera Control Unit (CCU)
The HDC-1700 can be configured with the HDCU-1700 dedicated
camera control unit (CCU), which is a 19-inch half-rack size portable
CCU for fiber cable connection. The HDCU-1700 CCU can control
camera menu settings and display fiber condition on the front panel. It
has an expansion slot for the four HD/SD SDI outputs board; and the
option board slot is
used for HKCU
option cards to
expand the CCUs
output capability to
include VBS out,
PIX out, WFM out,
and component
video out.

Optional Accessories
All accessories that are used with the HDC-1500 and HDC-2500 Series can be used with the HDC-1700.
