The HDC3300 is the camera unit of a high-definition
super-slow-motion video camera system with a 2/3-type
CCD for 2,200,000 pixels.
It incorporates the latest pickup elements and digital
signal-processing LSI and yields higher picture quality and
higher stability in image creation at HD 3-times speed in a
system with the HDCU3300 HD Camera Control Unit,
while maintaining conventional popular functions and
operability. (This product is not designed for standalone
operations.)
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 avaliable
as an option (Part No.: A-8286-346-A).
Function-assignable switches
The camera has a switch to which various functions can be
assigned on the side panel. You can activate your desired
function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion,
instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in
advance. Switches on the handle are also available as
function assignable switches.
Features
High picture quality and high performance
The new 2/3-type IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels conforms
to driving formats of 3-times conventional speed,
achieving high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the
built-in 14-bit A/D converter provides picture quality of
optimal grade in combination with the signal-processing
LSI built in the HDCU3300.
Multiple formats
The camera covers the 1080/50i and 59.94i interlace
systems as well as the 720/50P and 59.94P progressive
scan systems.
Newly designed integrated unit with low
center of gravity
The basic design has been reworked. The stylish
appearance with low-slung design improves operability as
a portable camera and, 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 for
highly efficient operations.
Memory Stick
The camera is equipped with a Memory Stick port, which
enables setup data storage and software upgrading using
Memory Sticks.

operation
Various color-reproduction functions (in
combination with HDCU3300)
Selection of the gamma table
Multiple gamma tables are provided, enabling you to use
multiple formats and perform flexible image creation.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-axis 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.
Swing handle
The swinging structure of the handle enables the large
viewfinder mounted on the HDLA1500-series Large Lens
Adaptor to be shifted forward, giving it the same total
longitudinal size as a standard studio-use camera, for
operability equivalent to that of a standard studio-use
camera.
Overview
34
Low key saturation
Hue and 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.
Versatile detail control functions (in
combination with HDCU3300)
Skin-tone detail function
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.
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz.
This allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for
the subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.
High-resolution 2-type monochrome and
3.5-type color multiformat viewfinders
(optional)
The HDVF-20A, a multiformat 2-type monochrome CRT
viewfinder, and the HDVF-C35W, a multiformat 3.5-type
color LCD viewfinder, are available as options to cover
various applications.
Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply
from the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off
System Configuration
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.
Easy menu-based setting
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items,
safety-zone marker
marker, etc. can be made quickly and easily, using setup
menus displayed on the viewfinder screen or an external
monitor.
2) Safety zone marker:
A box-shaped marker displayed on the viewfinder screen which indicates
80%, 90%, 92.5%, or 95% of the total screen area
3) Center marker:
A cross-shaped marker which indicates the center of the viewfinder screen
2)
or center marker,3) screen size
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern,
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 are other than standard. This makes it
simple to check the status of the camera.
4) Zebra pattern:
4)
a safety-zone marker, and a center marker,
A stripe pattern displayed on the viewfinder screen which indicates the
portions where the video level is above about 70% or 100%. Used to check
the video level of the subject.

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.
The HDCU3300 to be used with this camera has a flickerreduction function. If flicker is noticeable, set it to ON.
