HD Multi-Purpose Camera

2/3-Inch Full HD 3 CMOS Sensors, Hybrid Optical Cable Camera System

Sony introduces an ideal solution for entry-level HD and SD live production, delivering better quality and performance for live production. HXC-FB75 and HXC-P70 Cameras are equipped with
three 2/3-inch Full HD Exmor CMOS sensors to provide excellent sensitivity (F12 at 1080i/59.94, F13 at 1080i/50) with a low noise ratio at -60 dB for clear images. With sensors common to both
the HXC-FB75 and HXC-P70, you can flexibly combine these cameras as required, and you can use a wide range of output formats. By direct connection with hybrid fiber cable, both the HXC­FB75 and the HXC-P70 can support long-distance connection from camera head to CCU while also supplying power. When you connect via single-mode fiber cable, this direct connection
distance can be extended up to 10 km. Both cameras can also be controlled from a CCU panel and remote controller.

Common features of HXC-FB75 & HXC-P70

Excellent Picture Quality Auto Lens Aberration Compensation (ALAC) Function

Three Exmor Full-HD CMOS Sensors

The HXC-FB75 and HXC-P70 are equipped with three 2/3-inch Exmor
CMOS sensors delivering superior picture performance with Full HD
resolution. Due to Sony’s advanced sensor technologies, this imager
provides brilliant sensitivity (F12 for 1920 x 1080/59.94i mode, F13
for 1920 x 1080/50i mode), a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio at -60
dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 1,000 TV lines.*1 All of these
excellent features result in high-quality digital signals with extremely low noise. This
significantly enhances shooting in low-light environments. In addition to the camera’s high
performance of these cameras, a wide range of output formats are available including
1080i/59.94,50, 1080PsF/29.97,25, 720p/59.94,50, 480i/59.94, and 576i/50.

Equipped with a Direct Fiber Connector as Standard

Selectable use between hybrid fiber cable and single mode fiber cable can be realized
on this multi-purpose connector. A Neutrik opticalCON DUO connector and hybrid cable
provide secure protection against dust and liquid ingress because this connector has a
small internal cover mechanism which guards against damage and interference while
allowing long-distance extension with a power supply.

Variety of Picture Adjustment Functions

Skin-tone detail

This function allows adjustment (emphasis
or suppression) of the detail level for a
specific hue or chroma area in the image,
such as human skin tones. Three channels
of skin tone gate can be set. With this you
are able to create the appropriate natural
skin tone in a wide range, depending on
shooting object conditions.

Knee saturation

Hue and chroma in highlighted areas can be
adjusted to reproduce natural human skin
tones under strong lighting.

Selection of multiple gamma tables

Seven types of standard and four types of hyper gamma table are featured. The hyper
gamma values enable cinema-like image creation with wide dynamic range.

Adaptive-matrix function

This enables ideal color conversion for shooting even under excessively strong ambient lighting
conditions such as live shooting under bright monochromatic blue light. These conditions.

Other functions

Black Gamma, Multo-Matrix, Low Key Saturation, Master White Gain, Extended Clear Scan
Shutter, etc.

Total Level Control System in Auto Gain,
Auto Iris, and Auto Shutter

This function automatically adjusts optimum gain, iris, and shutter speed in accordance
with each shooting situation.

Digital Extender

It is available at x2 or x4 magnified picture output.
x2 or x4 mode can be remotely controlled by the selection of assignable setting.
The CCU control panel of HXCU-FB70, RCP remote control panel, or an external control via
Sony Simple Camera Protocol can change the Digital Extender mode.

Expandable Operability with the HXCU-FB70

The HXCU-FB70 Optical Fiber Camera Control Unit (CCU) enables precise control of HXC-FB75
and HXC-P70 picture adjustments, and ensures easy and precise color matching among
HXC-D70, HXC-FB75, and HXC-P70 cameras.

USB Interface

By connecting USB flash drivers, the data configuration files can be saved and loaded.

HDVF Interface for Connecting a Variety of Viewfinders

The HXC-FB75 have an HDVF interface that suits the latest HD portable viewfinders
(including OLED display devices) offering high picture quality.

CCU Connection, Transmission, and Power Extension (up to 350 m)
Via Hybrid-Type Optical Fiber Cable

When you configure the HXC-FB75 with the HXCU-FB70 CCU, the camera head connector
combined with hybrid-type optical fiber cable supports extended signal transmission with
the required power supply up to 350 m. Full camera control is possible through a
user-friendly operational panel designed specifically to work with HXC Series cameras.

Long-Distance Transmission (up to 10 km) with Single-Mode Fiber Cable

When you connect using a single-mode fiber (SMF) cable, and provided there is a local
power supply, transmission can extend up to 10 km. In many facilities, SMF is already laid as
part of the infrastructure, allowing you to install the camera system quickly and easily.

Supplied with HD Viewfinder, HD Lens and Monaural Microphone

The HXC-FB75KC camera package includes the 3.5-inch QHD Color LCD Monocular
Viewfinder which offers better and easier focusing than comparable viewfinders. The
camera is also supplied with a portable HD 20x zoom lens and monaural electret condenser
microphone.

Slow Shutter with 8-Frame Accumulation and +12 dB Gain-Up

Utilizing the Slow Shutter function, you can achieve up to 8 frames of frame accumulation. In
combination with the +12 dB gain-up function, appropriately exposed pictures are available
while keeping sharpness without noise, even in very dark environments. These unique features
can be used in a wide range of applications.

*3 This capability is available only in HD1080 mode; it is unavailable in HD720 mode.

SD Down-Converter

You can achieve down-converted SD signal output from both the HXC-FB75 and the
HXCU-FB70.

Built-In Optical ND Filter with Electrical CC Filter

The HXC-FB75 is equipped with a neutral density (ND) optical filter and electrical
color correction (CC) filter. The ND filter supports ND: 1; CLEAR, 2; 1/4ND, 3; 1/16ND,
and 4; 1/64ND. Along with the electrical CC filter, you can achieve the appropriate
color temperature by white balance adjustment and also change the color

temperature according to your preference.
