1080/50i-59.94i and 720/50P-59.94P formats are supported,
as well as 1080/23.98PsF-24PsF-25PsF-29.97PsF and 1080/
50P-59.94P progressive formats, and 1080/100i-119.88i and
720/100P-119.88P slow-motion 2× speed recording formats.
For the models that do not support this function by default, use
optional accessories to use this function. For details, see
“Optional Accessories” (page 6).
Digital extender function
The central part of the viewfinder picture is digitally magnified
to twice its size.
The digital extender function prevents the decrease in
sensitivity (F-drop) that occurs when the lens extender
function is used.
Note
This function does not operate when a 2x slow motion format
is selected.
This function also reduces the resolution of images to onehalf.
Aberration correction function
This camera features ALAC 2.0 (Auto Lens Aberration
Compensation).
When an achromatic lens is used, this function reduces
chromatic aberration of magnification automatically.
For details on achromatic lenses, contact a Sony sales
representative or Sony service representative.
Standard 3G optical digital transmission unit
(HDC2500/2400)
3G optical digital transmission of signals between the camera
and camera control unit (CCU) is included, and allows the
following kinds of video signal transmission and system
configurations:
• 1080/50P-59.94P progressive video signal transmission
• Transmission of 2× speed recording signals such as 1080/
100i-119.88i for production of slow-motion video
• Transmission of HD prompter, HD TRUNK, and network
TRUNK signals that utilize empty bands during 1080/50i-
59.94i and 720/50P-59.94P operation
• Dual camera system for transmitting video signals from two
HDC2500/2400 cameras to two CCUs using just one optical
fiber/multi-cable
• Subcamera system for transmitting video signals from both
an HDC2500/2400 and another subcamera-such as the
3
Page 4
HDC-P1-using just one optical fiber/multi-cable and
outputting their signals from one CCU
Digital triax transmission (HDC2570)
HDC2570 utilizes a digital triax transmission system and
supports 1080/50i-59.94i and 720/50P-59.94P formats.
Triax transmission (HDC2550)
HDC2550 utilizes a triax transmission system and supports
1080/50i-59.94i and 720/50P-59.94P formats.
Various color-reproduction functions
Adaptive-matrix function
This function accurately controls calculation factors for
performing accurate color conversion when shooting. This
makes precise color conversion possible even when shooting
under conditions that would otherwise exceed the color
conversion range of traditional matrix functions, such as under
strong monochromatic blue light sources.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail
function
Like HDC1500R/1400R/1550R, 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.
HDC2500/2400/2570/2550 features the natural skin detail
function, which allows for adjustment of the detail gate signal,
allowing even more vivid distinction of areas like skin that you
want to make smooth while selectively keeping areas like
eyebrows that don’t require smoothing.
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This
allows the thickness of the detail signal to be set appropriately
for the subject, thus enabling high-definition image
expression.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-parameter 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
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.
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.
Note
When <CAM MODE> is set to 4K/HDR MODE, only VF
images will be fixed to the ITU-R 709-equivalent gamma.
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.
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
changing 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.
VF dynamic contrast
The VF contrast signal can be added only to images on the
viewfinder screen, and facilitate focusing in situations with
high brightness areas and low contrast levels.
User gamma
Gamma tables created with CvpFileEditor™ can be saved to
a “Memory Stick,” or registered to a camera from the MSU1000/1500 or RCP-1500 series.
For the models that do not support this function by default, use
optional accessories to use this function. For details, see
“Optional Accessories” (page 6).
Numerous viewfinder functions
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern, 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
4
Page 5
are other than standard. This makes it simple to check the
status of the camera.
Menu-based setting operation function
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items, a safetyzone marker or center marker, screen size marker, etc. can be
made quickly and easily using setup menus displayed on the
viewfinder screen or an external monitor.
PinP function
The return video signal or HD prompter picture can be
displayed on the viewfinder in picture-in-picture mode.
Note
The PinP function cannot be used during stand-alone
operation, and cannot be used with the HD TRUNK FRAME
SYNCHRO function simultaneously.
Wide variety of input/output interfaces
(HDC2500/2400)
In addition to 3G/HD/SD-SDI output and HD/SD-SDI input,
HDC2500/2400 features a wide variety of input/output
interfaces, including the following:
Network TRUNK function (HDC2500/2400)
The network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data
transmission between the camera and CCU at speeds of up to
1 Gbps. This allows for a multitude of new system
configurations, such as connecting several IP transmission
cameras as subcameras.
Note
The network TRUNK transfer rate differs depending on the
video format. Jumbo frames are not supported.
HD TRUNK function (HDC2500/2400)
The new HD TRUNK function uses 3G optical transmission
supports sending HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HDSDI video signal) from the HDC2500/2400 to an HDCU2000/
2500.
Note
The HD TRUNK function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
HD prompter function (HDC2500/2400)
The new HD prompter function on HDC2500/2400 supports
sending HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HD-SDI signal)
separate from the return video signal from an HDCU2000/
2500 to the HDC2500/2400.
Note
The HD prompter function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
User-friendly operation
Spirit level display function
HDC2500/2400/2570/2550 features a spirit level function,
which enables you to display the amount of camera roll on the
view finder screen and monitor. By checking the level of the
camera, more stable shooting can be achieved.
Carbon-graphite outer cover
The HDC2500/2400/2570/2550 outer cover is made of carbon
graphite. Much lighter and stronger than plastic, it can easily
withstand intense movement under the toughest shooting
conditions.
Unit-body with low center of gravity
HDC2500/2400/2570/2550, like the previous HDC1500
series, adopts a stylish appearance with low-slung design.
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.
Swing handle and VF slide mechanism
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 to provide the best balance for
shooting with the camera on your shoulder. The swing handle
mechanism allows for mounting and usage on the HDLA1500
series, making forward shifting with a large-scale viewfinder
possible. This enables 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).
Function-assignable switches
The function-assignable switches on the side panel can be
assigned to your desired function, such as electronic colortemperature conversion.
These switches can be synchronized with the assignable
switches on viewfinder models such as HDVF-EL75, and can
be used to operate the viewfinder functions such as
MAGNIFICATION, etc.
Also, two function-assignable switches are on the upper part
of the handle, and can be used to set the viewfinder functions
such as MAGNIFICATION, etc.
USB connector
Connect a USB drive to the USB connector to record and read
data. Setup menu settings can also be saved to and loaded
from the USB drive.
Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from
the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

“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.

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-1000/1500 Master Setup Unit and RCP-1000/1500series 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:
Shutter modes and speeds
Shutter modeShutter speeds*Usage
Standard1/100, 1/125, 1/250,
ECS (Extended
Clear Scan)
1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000
seconds
Continuously variable in
the range of 60.00 Hz to
4300 Hz
Use to obtain clear images
of quickly moving subjects
Use to obtain images on
video monitors without
horizontal striping
Note
When using a zoom lens with automatic iris control capability,
1)
hunting
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.
There are two white balance memories, A and B. When the
AUTO W/B BAL switch is pushed to the WHT side, the white
balance will be adjusted automatically according to the filter
settings. The adjusted value will be stored in the selected
memory. Each memory can store up to five adjusted values,
for a total of 10.
* The values in the table are those with 59.94i. With other formats, the
available values are different.
Note
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.

Appendix
Vertical 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.
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
Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or
if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on
the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is
known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating
the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.
Phenomena Specific to Image Sensors
Note
The following phenomena that may occur in images are
specific to image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction.
White flecks
Although the image sensors are produced with high-precision
technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the
screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following
cases:
– when operating at a high environmental temperature
– when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
– when using the slow shutter
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear
jagged or flicker.
To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communications devices
The use of portable telephones and other communications
devices near this camera can result in malfunctions and
interference with audio and video signals.
It is recommended that the portable communications devices
near this camera be powered off.
Digital Triax Transmission (HDC2570)
A powerful error-correction function is incorporated for the
transmission between the camera and CCU. However, if an
error occurs on long-distance transmission because of
external noise or for some other reason, the compensation by
interpolation that partially uses the previous picture may
operate.
In digital triax transmission, the following video delay in
transmission may occur:
• The video delay in transmission between the camera and
the CCU is approx. 9 msec to 12 msec.
• A delay of about 1 frame occurs on the viewfinder display if
a camera image is sent back from the CCU to the camera as
a return signal.
• The prompter video will delay approx. 3 frames. There will
be some changes in picture quality and active area, and
dropped frames may occur depending on the type of
prompter video.
• An appropriate delay is applied to the MIC 1 and 2 audio
signals from the CCU according to the video delay.
• It takes a certain time until the video signal transmitted
between the camera and the CCU becomes stable after
power is applied. This is not a malfunction.
Triax transmission distances
The maximum and minimum transmission distances allowed
for triax cable connection are shown in the table below. The
distances may vary according to the conditions, such as the
total power requirements (including the power supply to the
camera from the HDFX200) and cable degradation.
Allowable transmission range when using triax cables with the
following characteristics:
Attenuation: 3.8 dB to 53.2 dB at 100 MHz (including the
loss at connectors)
