Overview

The HXC-100 is a 2/3-type high-definition por table video camera equipped with CCD units for 2,200,000 pixels, which can be used as a standalone camera as well as in a studio in combination with the HXCU-100 or HSCU-300 Control Unit.

The camera incorporates the latest image capturing device and digital signal-processing LSI, and it performs newly developed digital transmission with the camera control unit (CCU), thus yielding high picture quality and high stability in image creation in addition to superior camera functions and operability.

1) An HXC-100 and HSCU-300 can be connected if both units are of version 1.10 or later.

Features

High picture quality and high performance

The latest 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD units for 2,200,000 pixel achieve high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the 14-bit A/D converter and an original developed signalprocessing LSI provide high picture quality of optimal grade.

Multiple formats

The camera covers 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94P, 1080/50i, and 720/50P. With its wide-range down-converter, the camera also enables output of high-quality SD signals (525i/625i) from the camera and the connected CCU, establishing an optimum camera system for SD-system operations.

Newly designed integrated unit with low center of gravity

The camera has stylish appearance with low-slung design. Even when used in combination with a studio-use viewfinder, stable operation is achieved, thanks to its low center of gravity.

Optimized handle shape and VF slide mechanism for stable shooting

A new handle design has been adopted. 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, a slide mechanism is located at the viewfinder attachment position. Any difference in weight balance caused by having a different lens attached can be counteracted by adjusting the viewfinder attachment position, in combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on your shoulder.

Position-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 shoulder pad (position fixed) is available as an

Camera

Function-assignable switches

The camera has buttons to which various functions can be assigned on the side panel and the rear. You can activate your desired function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion, instantly when shooting by assigning it to one of these buttons in advance. Buttons on the handle are also available as function assignable switches.

Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function

The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function (ALAC) is provided with this camera. This automatically reduces chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens that supports auto aberration compensation is attached.

For details on lenses supporting auto aberration compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony service representative.

Focus assist functions

The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function facilitate focusing.

VF detail

Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal, which can be added only on images on the viewfinder screen in order to facilitate focusing in various situations: Functions for coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the VF detail signal by adding modulation, thickening the VF detail signal, and automatically compensating the VF detail level according to the zoom position.

Focus Assist Indicator

The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen provides a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be easily determined by observing fluctuation of the level indicator as a guide.

“Memory Stick”

The camera is equipped with a “Memory Stick” port, which enables setup data storage and software upgrading using a “Memory Stick.”

operation

Various color-reproduction functions

Selection of multiple gamma tables

Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic range, which are different from those achieved with conventional video gamma.

Multimatrix color correction

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

Overview

Page 5

Knee saturation

Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in highlighted areas can be compensated. This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong lighting.

Low key saturation

Hue and chroma in low-key zones can be compensated. Thus, compensation for color reproduction in all zones is enabled in combination with matrix color compensation and knee saturation functions.

Versatile detail control functions

Skin-tone detail function

This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of the detail level for just 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.

Detail boost-frequency control

The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for the subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.

H/V ratio control

The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be adjusted.

Versatile choices of viewfinders

Multiformat monochrome CRT viewfinders, HDVF-200 (2type) and HDVF-550 (5-type) can be selected for use in studio and portable systems. Color LCD viewfinders, HDVF-C35W (3.5-type), HDVFC550W (5-type), and HDVF-C730W (6.5-type), are also selectable to cover various applications.

Prevention of electrical shock

When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

Bottom of the camera

Note

When a CCU or an external control device, such as an RCP/ RM, is connected, the black balance and white balance are controlled from the external device or the HKCU-FP1 attached to the CCU, and adjustment on the camera is disabled.

Black balance adjustment

The black balance needs adjustment in situations like the following:

• The first time the camera is used

• When the camera is used after a long period of disuse

• When the surrounding temperature changes greatly

• When the gain value is changed using the setup menus Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every time the camera is turned on.

White balance adjustment

Always adjust the white balance when lighting conditions change.

To adjust the black balance

Push the AUTO W/B BAL switch to BLK.

INTERCOM LEVEL

With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue components varies with the power supply frequency. This phenomenon is known as “flicker.” When using the electronic shutter under these lighting conditions, there are certain cases in which the flicker is more noticeable. In particular, color flicker is evident when the power frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power frequency is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second will reduce the flicker.

Selecting the mode and speed of the shutter

The mode and the shutter speed in Standard mode are set using the SHUTTER switch.

Precautions

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the lens 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 you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the lens or inside the camera. The camera has no built-in condensation indicator. If you find condensation on the body or lens, switch the camera off and wait for the condensation to disappear for about one hour.

Phenomena specific to CCD image sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD image sensors are produced with highprecision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays. This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction. The white flecks especially tend to be seen

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)

The problem may be alleviated by automatic black balance adjustment (see page 14).

Smear

When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the screen, or the image may be distorted.

Appendices

Page 37

Aliasing

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

About digital triax transmission

A powerful error-correction function is incorporated for the transmission between the camera and CCU. However, if an error occurs on long-distance transmission because of external noise or for some other reason, the compensation by interpolation that partially uses the previous picture may operate.

In digital triax transmission, the following video delay in transmission may occur:

• The video delay in transmission between the camera and the CCU is approx. 9 msec to 12 msec.

• A delay of about 1 frame occurs on the viewfinder display if a camera image is sent back from the CCU to the camera as a return signal.

• The prompter video will delay approx. 5 frames in the standard mode. (For the prompter video, either the standard mode or the low-delay mode using simplified images can be selected on the CCU).

• An appropriate delay is applied to the MIC 1 and 2 audio signals from the CCU according to the video delay.

• It takes a certain time until the video signal transmitted between the camera and the CCU becomes stable after power is applied. This is not a malfunction.

About the distances of triax transmission

The maximum and minimum transmission distances allowed for triax cable connection are shown in the table below. The distances may vary according to the conditions, such as cable degradation. Allowable transmission range when using triax cables with the following characteristics:

Attenuation: 3.8 dB to 45.6 dB at 100 MHz (including the loss at connectors)

Cable (for example) Max. distance Min. distance

Fujikura 8.5-mm dia. 600 m

Fujikura 14.5-mm dia. 1200 m (3937 ft) 100 m (328 ft)

Belden 9232 13.2-mm dia 850 m (2789 ft) 75 m (246 ft)

(1969 ft) 50 m (164 ft)

External sync signals

The CCU can be locked to an external sync signal. Either an HD tri-level sync signal or an SD sync (black burst) signal can be used as the sync signal.

Digital triax transmission

The CCU and camera are connected using the industrystandard double-shielded triaxial camera cable (commonly referred to as triax). The camera and CCU are equipped with the latest Sony-developed digital transmission technology which can transmit high-resolution pictures between the camera and CCU, regardless of the cable length.

Built-in down converter

HD signals from the camera can be converted to highresolution SD component SDI output signals using the wideband down converter. The output signal aspect ratio can be set to 4:3 edge crop, 16:9 squeeze, or letterbox. The down converted SD signal has independent image enhancement, gamma, and matrix functions that can be controlled externally.

Built-in simplified up converter

SD signal return video is displayed in the HD viewfinder using a simple up converter. The return video aspect ratio can be set to 4:3 edge crop, 16:9 squeeze, or letterbox.

Rack mountable

The CCU can be installed in a standard EIA 19-inch rack. The height of the unit is 1.5U.

HKCU-FP1 CCU Control Panel (optional)

The HKCU-FP1 is a control panel that can be mounted in place of the standard front panel on the CCU. Operating switches and knobs are used to adjust the basic CCU functions. The control panel is connected to the CCU using only 5 screws and an internal wiring harness for easy installation and removal.

Electric shock prevention

A safety function cuts the high-voltage supply from the CCU if the connection to the camera becomes unsafe. When power is applied, low-voltage power is first supplied to the camera. After the connected camera is correctly identified using tone signal detection, the regular DC180 V high-voltage power is supplied to the camera. Power is not supplied to cameras not connected via the triax cable. Alarm indicators are also fitted to indicate cable open-circuit and short-circuit conditions.

Wide range of audio functions

The CCU is fitted with two-channel microphone output, video signals with embedded audio, and PGM (program) audio input/output connectors. It also features an intercom system with two independent channels, and supports four-wire and RTS/Clear-Com intercom systems.

For information on support for RTS/Clear-Com systems, contact a Sony service or sales representative.

Microphone volume control

The camera’s microphone volume can be controlled via the MIC REMOTE connector.

Character monitor signal output

The self-diagnosis status screens and setup menu can be output as a text character display on the video output signal. See “Video outputs” on page 7.

Notes on Use

Use and storage locations

Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places:

• Where it is subject to extremes of temperature (operating temperature: +5 to +40 °C (41 to 104 °F)). Note that in summer the temperature in a car with the windows closed can reach 50 °C (122 °F).

• Very damp or dusty places.

• Where rain is likely to reach the unit.

• Places subject to severe vibration.

• Near strong magnetic fields.

• Near transmitting stations generating strong radio waves.

• A certain time is required for the video signal transmitted between the camera and the CCU to stabilize after power is applied. This is not a malfunction.

Triax transmission distances

The maximum and minimum transmission distances allowed for triax cable connections are shown in the table below. The distances may vary according to the conditions, such as cable degradation. Allowable transmission range when using triax cables with the

following characteristics: Attenuation: 3.8 to 45.6 dB at 100 MHz (including the connector loss)

Cable (for example) Max. distance Min. distance

Fujikura 8.5 mm dia. 600 m (1969 ft.) 50 m (164 ft.)

Fujikura 14.5 mm dia. 1200 m (3937 ft.) 100 m (328 ft.)

Belden 9232 13.2 mm dia. 850 m (2789 ft.) 75 m (246 ft.)

Avoid violent impacts

Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it, is likely to cause it to malfunction.

Do not cover with cloth

While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a cloth or other material. This can cause the temperature to rise, leading to a malfunction.

After use

Set the POWER switch on the CCU to the OFF position.

Care

If the body or panels of the unit become dirty, wipe them with a dry cloth. For severe dirt, use a soft cloth steeped in a small amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may damage the finish.

Digital Triax Transmission

Digital transmission between camera and CCU with powerful error correction function built-in. However, some errors, for example errors due to external noise in long-distance transmission, may be corrected by partial image interpolation of images in frame store. In digital triax transmission, the following video delay in transmission may occur.

• The video delay in transmission between the camera and the CCU is approximately 9 to 12 ms.

• A delay of about 1 frame occurs on the viewfinder display if a camera image is sent back from the CCU to the camera as a return signal.

• A delay of about 5 frames occurs on the teleprompter video in standard mode (standard mode or low-latency mode using simplified images can be selected on the CCU).

• An appropriate delay is applied to the MIC 1 and 2 audio signals from the CCU to match the video delay.

Error Messages

When an error is detected in the CCU or the camera, the ALARM indicator turns on and an error message is displayed on the CCU.

The panel is connected to the CCU/HDCU-series Camera Control Unit (or the CNU-series Camera Command Network Unit, which is connected to the CCU/HDCU-series) by a special cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length.

The RCP-750 and RCP-751 are completely identical in their functions except with respect to the iris and master black adjustments. For the iris and master black adjustments, the RCP-750 uses a joystick type control while the RCP-751 uses rotary knobs.

Features
