HDK-55

16-bit Full Digital HDTV Portable Camera System

The HDK-55 is a high performance full digital HDTV camera with superb picture quality and system versatility for studio and field production.

Newly developed FPGA with advanced full digital process ASIC

The HDK-55 incorporates a newly developed FPGA together with advanced full digital process ASIC to achieve outstanding picture performance.

2/3-inch 2.3 Mega pixel AIT CCDs

2/3-inch 2.3 Mega pixel AIT CCDs are employed to achieve 1000 TVL horizontal resolution with excellent signal to noise ratio of 60dB at F10 (1080/59.94i) or F11 (1080/50i) sensitivity.

2 Channels QTV

Two channels of QTV output (VBS) are available for prompter and external monitoring purposes. The AUX OUT (VBS) connector can be assigned to QTV-1, QTV-2, or Main video by menu. Note:BS/CCU should support 2 channels of QTV.

Camera Operator Assist Functions

There are two types of camera operator assist functions incorporated in the HDK-55 camera head. The viewfinder detail(VF DTL) function allows the camera operator to increase the detail edges to the viewfinder video for easy-focusing. In addition, the Quick EZ Focus (Focus Assist) function is newly incorporated useful tool, providing very distinct enhancement to the viewfinder edge signal to enable the camera operator to make critical focus adjustment.

Variety of Viewfinders

For the HDK-55, 2-inch 16:9 high definition VFs for portable application are available, including monochrome CRT type and color LCD type. In addition, 5-inch CRT, 7-inch LCD and 9-inch LCD color viewfinders are also available as options.

Affordable Camera Control Unit

The BSF-55 is newly designed in the compact size of 1.5RU height with 19-inch rack mount width, transmitting uncompressed high quality pictures with use of an optical fiber connection between HDK cameras. Both HDTV and SDTV formats are supported simultaneously in both digital and analog form with a wide range of built-in interfaces. The BSF-55 also features embedded audio in the SDI output signals. A half-rack base station, BS-89A, is also available, permitting full SMPTE fiber cable extension with a compact base station, suitable for small sized OB vans and rental / flight-pack systems. The BS-89A supports 2 channels of QTV to match the camera head feature.

Moire Reduction Filter (Factory Option)

An Anti-Moire Optical Low-Pass Filter can be fitted in the filter wheel to reduce unwanted moire video patterns when shooting a large LED screen, etc. * If this optional filter is ordered, one of the ND filters must be replaced.

Lens Aberration Correction function

The Lens Aberration Correction function is newly incorporated for minimizing the blur and colored edges caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration.

Docking style camera body

With a docking style camera body, either an FA (Fiber Adaptor) or TA (Triax Adaptor) can be mounted depending on the use.

Sophisticated features made possible with digital technology

The Fine Detail (DTL) function makes the picture more realistic by compressing the detail edge component when shooting high contrast scenes. Highlight DTL and several other DTL functions are also available.

Video processing technology to maximize the benefit of 16-bits

This camera is designed from the start based on 16-bit A/D and matching 16-bit DSP to maximize the benefits of high bit quantization. Especially for the dark areas of the picture, the higher gradation for gamma and other circuits improves the reproduction, providing for more natural color in the shadow areas of the picture.

SE-H700 System Expander

The SE-H700 System Expander enables the use of the 9-inch viewfinder and full studio lenses with the HDK-55, converting the portable camera into a full facility studio camera. Installation of the camera into the SE-H700 is easy, and conversion back to portable configuration is quick for maximum operating flexibility.

Sophisticated Camera Control Panel System

There are two types of camera control panel systems, each with a wide range of camera control capability. The conventional OCP allows direct and quick control of various camera parameters using dedicated buttons on the panel. The OCP-200 / MCP-200 Network based control panel system allows any OCP to control any camera with assignment set at the OCP itself. System wiring is simplified with control of up to 96 cameras via a single coax cable between CCU locations and video control locations. The OCP-200 and MCP-200 include touch screen LCDs. The depth-of-control of the OCP-200 can be selected from basic to complete to fit the customers' operating discipline. Conventional one by one camera control connection is also available with the OCP-200.
