Overview

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.

The HDC-P43 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

High definition, high picture quality, and high
performance

The HDC-P43 features the latest 2/3-inch 9.8 megapixel
CMOS image sensor and wide color gamut prism block, and a
high performance digital signal processor LSI.
It connects to a HDCU4300
Baseband Processor Unit and HDCU2000/2500
Control Unit via a single-mode fiber cable (ST connector) and
HKCU-SM100 CCU Extension Adapter, and supports 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.

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.

Camera

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

4K image shooting

4K/23.98P, 24P, 25P, 29.97P, 50P, and 59.94P are supported
using an option package. When a BPU4000/4500 is
connected, 2-times speed shooting (100, 119.88) is also
supported using a combination of option packages.
In addition to pure 4K high-definition imaging using the 4K 3­chip RGB-Full image sensor, it is equipped with the latest wide
gamut prism to achieve color reproduction that covers the
2020 color gamut, and HDR technology to achieve high­brightness and high-contrast image reproduction.

Compact, box-shaped case

The compact, lightweight, slim casing with width of 119 mm
supports operation in a variety of applications. ND/CC dual
optical servo filters are also incorporated in the compact case.

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

Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail
function

Similar to the HDC4300, 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 to 30 MHz. This
allows the thickness of the detail signal to be set appropriately
for the subject, thus enabling high-definition image
reproduction.

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

The focus assist functions can be used when a monitor is
connected to the SDI 1 connector and the output setting is set
to VF.

For details, see “Setting the Focus Assist Functions”
(page 12).

VF detail

Supports focusing on various scenes using a function that
adds color to the VF detail signal displayed on a monitor, 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 on a monitor as a guide to
the focus position. This allows the focus point to be
determined easily by observing the fluctuation of the indicator.

Focus position meter

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.
