Features

High picture quality and high performance
HDC2400/2500/2570/2550 features a 2/3-type wide progressive IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels and a signal processing LSI, both newly developed to help achieve a high level of image quality via improved S/N, high resolution, and low smear compared to previous models. A 16-bit AD converter allows for optimal picture quality and enhanced black reproduction.
Slow motion via 2× speed recording
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

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.

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 the MSU or RCP series-is connected, control is performed from the RCP/MSU, and the switches 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.
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.
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 black balance memory
The black balance values stored in memory will be preserved even when the camera power is turned off.
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.

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 mode Shutter speeds* Usage
Standard 1/100, 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
Monitor screen
Vertical tails shown on the image
Bright object (e.g., strong spotlight, strong reflected light, flashlight, the sun)
Aliasing
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)
