Superb Picture Quality

Incorporating three 1/2-inch type 1.5-mega pixel HD CCDs, the HDC-X300/X310 offers outstanding-quality images with a low smear level of -120 dB and a high signalto-noise ratio of 52 dB.

Progressive Mode

Incorporating Sony’s innovative Advanced Frame Accumulation (AFA) technology, the HDC-X300/X310 can output progressive HD signals (25PsF/29.97PsF), 2-3 pull downconverted signal from 23.976PsF (59.94i) in addition to interlaced HD signals (50i/59.94i). Interlace and progressive modes can be easily selected from the camera setup menu.

■

50i output mode: 50i or 25PsF selectable

■

59.94i output mode: 59.94i/29.97PsF/

23.976PsF (with built-in 2-3 pull-down function) selectable

Compact and Lightweight Design

The HDC-X300/X310 is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it ideal for capturing HD-quality images at locations and from angles where bulky production HD cameras cannot be installed. This compact camera weighs only 1.2 kg (2 lb 10 oz)*, allowing easy installation in spaceconstrained and awkward areas such as on a crane head or helicopter. The supplied tally unit can be easily detached from the camera body, minimising the camera size to be fitted in, for example, a pan/tilt head or an underwater housing.

* HDC-X300

Low-Light Shooting

The HDC-X300/X310 offers two convenient functions for capturing clear images in lowlight environments – a Slow Shutter mode and a Gain function – which can be used separately or together. The Slow Shutter mode allows the charge accumulation period of the CCD (typically 1/60 or 1/50 second) to be extended up to approximately two seconds (64 frames). The Gain function allows the camera gain to be boosted to +48 dB. When these functions are used together, the camera offers a stunning minimum illumination of 0.003 lx.

Auto-Focus Function*

While maintaining compatibility with interchangeable manual-focus lenses, the HDC-X300/X310 comes packaged with a convenient auto-focus lens. Two autofocus modes are available and can be selected on the supplied lens. One-push auto-focus readjusts the focus each time the button is pressed, while auto-tracing focus automatically tracks the focus in a dynamic manner.

* Auto-focus function is only available when using the focus

servo lens VCL-719BXS included in the HDC-X300K/X310K package.

Flexible Image Controls

The HDC-X300/X310 provides highly advanced image-control functions such as matrix, a TruEye

™

feature, skin-tone detail, and colour temperature controls. These functions - previously available only on high-end studio cameras or camcorders - allow creative images to be produced with high clarity.

Trigger Function

Two types of trigger modes are available with the HDC-X300/X310, allowing synchronised operation with external equipment. The flash trigger input mode allows the camera to capture a high-quality still image when synchronized with an external flash – a function suited for photo-booth or document-stand applications. Another trigger mode is the

23.976PsF frame lock mode. When the HDC-X300/X310 is set to 23.976PsF progressive mode, the camera outputs a 2-3 pull-down trigger signal for frame locking to other HDC-X300/X310 cameras.

Remote Control Capability

The HDC-X300/X310 is compatible with the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel and MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit. These remote controllers cover the complete range of control parameters that the HDC-X300/X310 provides, from basic camera control to sophisticated operations.

Optical ND Filter and Electronic CC Function

Optimum light and colour control is easily achieved using the built-in optical Neutral Density (ND) filter wheel and electronic Colour Correction (CC) function. The HDC-X300/X310 uses electronic colour correction to eliminate the need for optical colour correction filters. This allows all filters on the filter wheel to be ND types, providing the operator with greater flexibility in depth of field and exposure control.

HKC-SV1 Servo Filter Unit

The HKC-SV1 is a servo unit that allows the optical ND filters of the HDC-X300/X310 to be controlled remotely from the RM-B750/B150 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel or MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit.

SYSTEM VERSATILITY

HFU-X310 Camera Interface Unit

The HFU-X310 Interface Unit is a 2U-high, half-rack-wide unit that accepts signals from the HDC-X300/X310 camera and converts them to a variety of signal formats. When the HFU-X310 unit is connected to the HDC-X310 camera via a fibre optical cable*

, digital data – including external sync and camera control signals – can be transmitted between the two devices. This cable can be up to 1000 metres (3280 feet) long, which allows the camera to be installed virtually anywhere required. When it is connected to the HDC-X300 camera via an HD-SDI interface, video signals can be transmitted between the interface unit and camera at a distance of up to 100 metres (328 feet)*

This HFU-X310 interface unit is equipped with SD/HD genlock, tally inputs, plus an 8-pin serial remote input to connect the RM-B750/B150, RCP-700 Series, or MSU-900/950 control unit. Output interfaces including HD-SDI, SD-SDI, computer XGA, and i.LINK (HDV) are offered via optional boards that are installed in the two slots located on the unit’s rear panel.

HDV Recording

The HFU-X310 Interface Unit with the optional HFBK-TS1 board installed provides the output of an HDV stream that can be transferred to Sony HDV recording decks and camcorders such as HVR-M10, HVR-Z1, and HVR-A1 via its i.LINK port. This allows signals captured by the HDC-X300/X310 cameras to be recorded in the HDV format on these recorders, making it possible to establish a compact and cost-effective HD recording system.

The HFU-X310 Interface Unit can also accept HD-SDI signals from devices other than HDC-X300 cameras, enabling the HFU-X310 with the HFBK-TS1 board to be used as a converter between HD-SDI devices and HDV devices*

*1 A single mode fibre cable with LC connector is

required for the connection between the HDC-X310 and HFU-X310.

*2 For camera control, remote controllers such as the

RM-B750/B150, RCP-700 Series, or MSU-900/950 must be connected directly to the rear panel of the HDC-X300 camera.

*3 The HFU-X310 unit does not accept audio signals and

timecode embedded in HD-SDI signals. However, audio signals can be transferred to HDV devices together with video signals by connecting the HD-SDI device’s audio output to the analogue audio input connectors on the HFBK-TS1 board. The dip switch on the HFBK-TS1 board would adjust the audio delay such that the embedded audio would match the video coming out from the 6-pin i.LINK as MPEG-TS stream.
