Overview

HD Multi Purpose Camera HXC-P70 is a high-definition video
camera equipped with a 2/3-inch Exmor CMOS image sensor.
A compact, box-shaped case enables the camera to be used for a
variety of applications as it requires little space for installation.

System Configuration

In addition to use as a standalone camera using the SDI output, you
can use this camera as a studio camera by directly connecting to the
Camera Control Unit (CCU) HXCU-FB70 using fiber cables.
This camera can be used for a wide range of applications such as
video production and security monitoring, as it is equipped with an
optical ND filter powered by a servo motor that can be operated from
a CCU, RCP, or RM, an electrical CC filter, a slow shutter capable
of storing up to 64 frames, a gain up to +48 dB, an x2 or x4 digital
extender (that enlarges the image by digital processing), and Total
Level Control System.

Peripherals and related devices for the camera are shown in figures.

with the AREA MARKER SIZE and MASTER GAIN set values.
Use this setting when the optimum offset cannot be obtained,
depending on the shooting environment.

To use the area marker

Setting AREA MARKER to ON displays the detection area of
the focus as a marker on the monitor.
You can set the size and position of the detection area with the
menu items below.
SIZE: The size of the detection area can be changed. (If the

area size is too large, both the subject and the background
are included in the area, making the indicator display easily
deviate from the subject.)

Note on laser beams

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

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

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.

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.

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image
sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with high­precision 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 CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction.

30

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
The problem may be alleviated by executing automatic black
balance adjustment.

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged
or flicker.

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.

In such cases, set the flicker-reduction function to AUTO mode (see
page 21).
If the frame rate selected for recording is close to the power-supply
frequency, flicker may not be reduced sufficiently even if you
activate the Flicker-Reduction function. In such cases, use the
electronic shutter.

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.

Error Messages

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

Note

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

Message Meaning

TEMP WARNING The internal temperature is extraordinarily

high.

FAN STOP The built-in fan is not rotating properly.

SET SYSTEM CLOCK The time/date of the internal clock have

not been set.

OHB BLOCK NG! A problem is detected in the optical block.

MSU RPN BUSY RPN compensation was attempted using

the camera menu while being operated
from an external device. Consult Sony
service personnel.

VF RPN BUSY RPN compensation was attempted from an

external device while being operated using
the camera menu. Consult Sony service
personnel.

FORMAT ERROR! An access was attempted with an

unformatted USB flash drive.

FILE ERROR An error occurred while reading a file

from a USB flash drive.

OTHER MODEL’S FILE You attempted to read a file of other

models having no compatibility.

FILE NOT FOUND The file you attempted to read does not

exist in the USB flash drive.

Flashband

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.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT PROPER
SECURITY MEASURES ON TRANSMISSION DEVICES,
UNAVOIDABLE DATA LEAKS RESULTING FROM
