Overview

The HDC4300 is a camera unit equipped with a 2/3-inch,

9.8 megapixel, 3-chip CMOS image sensor for super motion video camera systems. In addition to standard HD and HD high frame rate (HD-HFR) imaging, it also supports 4K multi-format imaging.

Features

Main Functions

Various color-reproduction adjustment functions

Adaptive-matrix function

This function controls the matrix calculation coefficients for more accurate color conversion when shooting. It provides accurate color conversion, 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.

High definition, high picture quality, and high performance

The HDC4300 features a newly developed 2/3-inch

9.8 megapixel CMOS image sensor and newly developed wide color gamut prism block, and a high performance digital signal processor LSI. It connects to an HDCU4300 Processor Unit via optical camera cables to support various formats from HD high-speed imaging to 4K imaging, enabling the reproduction of high image quality, high-definition images. (The addition of image formats is supported using options.)

1) For details about supported software versions, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony service representative.

and HDCU2000/2500 Camera Control Unit1)

or BPU4000/4500 Baseband

High-speed imaging

HD format (1080P, 1080i, 720P) imaging is supported at 2× and 3× frame rates (100, 119.88, 150, 179.82 fps) as standard. 4×, 6×, and 8× (200, 239.76, 300, 359.64, 400,

479.52 fps) are supported using option packages.

4K image shooting

4K/23.98P, 24P, 25P, 29.97P, 50P, 59.94P, 100P, 119.88P is supported using an option package. Pure 4K high-definition images can be captured using a 4K 3-chip RGB-Full pixel sensor. And the newly developed wide color gamut prism enables color reproduction covering the 2020 color gamut.

Focus assist functions

The camera features various focus assist functions in the viewfinder for enhanced focusing. When shooting in 4K in particular, the dynamic focus function enables 4K-quality focus adjustment.

Operability and scalability

The camera is essentially the same size and weight as HDC2500-series cameras, and accordingly features the same advantages in usability. The main functions and camera operation, including connection with peripheral devices, power supply to the camera, and intercom function, all follow that of conventional devices.

Multimatrix color correction

In addition to the standard 6-axis matrix function, the unit has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the hue and chroma independently for color components in 16-axis directions. This is quite useful in color matching among multiple cameras.

Knee saturation

This compensates the change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in highlighted areas. This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong lighting.

Low key saturation

This compensates for saturation in low-key zones. It compensates for color reproduction in all zones, in combination with the matrix color compensation and knee saturation functions.

Selectable gamma table

Equipped with seven types of standard gamma tables and four types of hyper gamma tables. Hyper gamma enables cinemalike image reproduction with wide dynamic range that cannot be achieved with conventional video gamma.

User gamma

Gamma tables created using CvpFileEditorTM can be saved to a “Memory Stick,” and registered in the camera from MSU-1000/1500 and RCP-1500 series devices.

Versatile detail control functions

Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail function

Like HDC2500-series cameras, this function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of the detail level for 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. The camera features a natural skin detail function that adjusts the detail gate signal in order to distinguish clearly between parts of skin you want to smooth from the parts you do not want to smooth, such as eyebrows.

Detail boost-frequency control

The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 MHz to 30 MHz. This allows the thickness of the detail signal to be set appropriately for the subject, thus enabling high-definition image reproduction.

Menu-based operation function

You can make selections and settings related to viewfinder display items, safety zone marker, center marker, and screen size marker, etc. quickly and easily using the menu displayed in the viewfinder or on an external monitor.

H/V ratio control

Adjusts the ratio between the applied horizontal and vertical detail.

White/black limiter

The white and black details can be limited independently.

Focus assist functions

VF detail

Supports focusing on various scenes using a function that adds color to the VF detail signal displayed in the viewfinder, a function that applies modulation to flicker the VF detail signal, and a function that changes the level of the VF detail signal according to the zoom position.

Focus assist indicator

Displays a focusing level indicator in the viewfinder as a guide to the focus position. This allows the focus point to be determined easily by observing the fluctuation of the indicator.

Dynamic focus

Displays a 4K resolution-specific focus point. This displays a marker in the viewfinder, derived from the luminance signal and color signal, for the area where 4K resolution signal is being output (valid when shooting in 4K only).

Focus position meter

Displays the lens focus position as a meter, when a supported

lens

is attached.

This allows you to place a marker for any focus value which acts as a guide for focus control.

1) Lenses that support serial, lens command control.

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 standalone operation.

Wide variety of input/output interfaces

In addition to 3G/HD/SD-SDI output and HD/SD-SDI input, the HDC4300 features a wide variety of input/output interfaces, including the following.

Network TRUNK function

The network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data transmission between the camera and CCU at speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

Note

The network TRUNK transfer rate differs depending on the video format. Jumbo frames are not supported.

HD prompter function

The HDC4300 supports an HD prompter function where HD-SDI equivalent digital data is sent from the HDCU2000/ 2500/4300 to the HDC4300, separate from the return video signal.

Note

The HD prompter function can only be used when a single format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to OFF.

Follow focus function

Enables focus control from the camera (focus demand), and both a MSU-1000/1500 and RCP-1000/15000-series device, when a supported lens main control from the camera, and additional fine control from MSU-1000/1500 and RCP-1000/1500-series devices.

1) Lenses that support serial, lens command control Ver. 1.04 or later.

is attached. This allows focusing with

Various viewfinder functions

Wide variety of viewfinder display options

You can display configuration settings, in addition to operation messages, a zebra pattern, a safety-zone marker, and a center marker in the viewfinder. Also, there are indicators along the top and bottom of the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning indicator, and an indicator that warns you when one or more settings are not within standard range.

User-friendly operation

Spirit level display function

The HDC4300 features a spirit level function, which enables you to display the amount of camera roll on the viewfinder or a monitor. By checking the level of the camera, more stable shooting can be achieved.

Carbon-graphite outer cover

The HDC4300 outer cover is made of carbon graphite. Much lighter and stronger than plastic, it can easily withstand intense movement under the toughest shooting conditions.

Uni-body construction with low center of gravity

The HDC4300, like the HDC2500 series, adopts a stylish appearance with a 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 is wide 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 largescale 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.

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 foam shoulder pad (fixed type) is available as an option (Part No.: A-8286-346-A).

Assignable switches

The assignable switches on the side panel can be assigned to your desired function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion. These switches can be synchronized with the assignable switches on viewfinder models, such as the HDVF-EL75, and can be used to operate the viewfinder functions, such as magnification. Also, two function-assignable switches are on the upper part of the handle, and can be used to set the viewfinder functions such as lens zoom.

USB connector

Connects to a USB flash drive for importing/exporting menu configuration settings and other data.

Electric shock protection

This function stops the high-voltage power supply from the camera control unit if the unit is not connected securely.

Optional accessories

You can add new functions and compatibility with other video formats by embedding the following optional accessories.

For details about installing optional accessories, please contact a Sony sales representative or Sony service representative.

Setting the Camera Outputs

You can specify video signals directly output from the camera, with menu operations.

Constantly outputting a return video

• When a camera control unit is connected, one of the signals being supplied to the camera control unit can be output from the camera.

• The last selected return signal is output.

• The same textual information as that displayed on the viewfinder screen can be added to the output signal by setting CHARACTER to “ON” on the <SDI OUT> or <TEST OUT> page.

Notes

• The MAIN (camera picture), RET (return video), or VF (the same picture as that displayed on the viewfinder screen) setting is common to SD-SDI and VBS. Different signals cannot be output.

• The camera image that is output in standalone mode is a temporary HD image for checking operation.

The menu pages used for the output settings have been registered to the USER menu at the factory.

• <SYSTEM FORMAT>

• <TEST OUT>

•<SDI OUT>

Set the following menu items to the settings shown in the table.

For details about menu operations and the USER menu, see “Menu Operations” on page 30.

Outputting the same image as that on the viewfinder screen

• With HD-SDI, you can obtain a signal that includes the same information as that being displayed on the viewfinder screen according to the settings of the VF MARKER, CHARACTER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA, etc. The ON/OFF or other settings for adding information are common to those for the viewfinder. The output is synchronized with switching among Y, R, G, and B or switching to a return signal.

• With SD-SDI or VBS, the output is synchronized only with switching between a return signal and the camera image. It does not correspond to switching among Y, R, G, and B. Information other than CHARACTER (such as VF MARKER, VF DETAIL, ZEBRA) cannot be added to the output.

Note

With the settings for outputting the same image as that on the viewfinder screen, the output will be obtained in 1080i, even if the format setting is 720P.

Camera CMOS image sensor phenomena

Appendix

Precautions

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CMOS image sensor. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the CMOS image sensor 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.

Components with limited service life

• The fan and battery are consumable parts that will need periodic replacement. When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about 5 years. However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

• The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

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)

Flicker

If recording is made under lighting produced by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent, sodium, or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen may flicker, colors may vary, or horizontal stripes may appear distorted.

Focal plane

Owing to the characteristics of the pickup elements (CMOS image sensors) for reading video signals, subjects that quickly move across the screen may appear slightly skewed.

Flash band

The luminance at the top and bottom of the screen may change when shooting a flashlight beam or a light source that quickly flashes.

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.

Error Messages

If a problem occurs during operation, a warning message is displayed.

Note

To display a message, set the DISPLAY switch to DISPLAY or MENU.
