HK-399W / HK-399PAW: 16-bit Full Digital SDTV Camera System

HK-399W/PAW

HK-399W / HK-399PAW: 16-bit Full Digital SDTV Camera System

The HK-399W/HK-399PAW is a state-of-the-art SDTV system incorporating the industry-first 16-bit A/D converter. It is the ultimate SDTV camera, employing the same ASIC as that of an HDTV camera and an AIT chip that achieves a smear level superior to that of an FIT. With its small, lightweight body and low power consumption, the camera provides superb picture quality under a range of environments.

16-bit A/D Converter-Forerunner in industry

Employing 16-bit A/D converter that no one has ever done ensures the improvement of gradation on dark portion (Internal process : up to 38bit). Also knee expand circuit that is incorporated at the first step of digital processing IC restores the linearity on high luminance portion that is lost during prekneeprocess. 　This makes it possible to do the linear signal processing at 600% in digital process after pre-knee and it contributes the great improvement of the characteristics such as Knee, & Flare.

AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCD

Newly developed AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCD offers high sensitivity of f11 and very low smear levels of -135dB with 100,000 times lighting condition. This figure actually exceeds that of FIT chip.

Low Power Consumption (HK-399PAW)

Its power consumption is merely approx. 10W thanks to the newest Digital Process IC and signal processing. This contributes the decrease of internal heat-up inside the camera and the stability of electric parts & its longer lifetime. In comparison with HK-388P (20.5W), the consumption is almost half of that.

Compact & Light Weight (HK-399PAW)

The camera is ergonomically designed with low profile for stable on-shoulder operation work. It is possible to keep side angle of view. The shoulder pad is made of non-slip material, and camera weight is only 2.3kg (excluding VF and TA). Prompt Software Update via SmartMedia™

Data transmission on e-mail

So far, it needs a time and is rather troublesome when the software version is changed. Updated software for HK-399PAW Camera Head can be sent as data through email etc, so by downloading it on SmartMedia and by slotting it in the camera and downloading, the update can be done promptly, simply and easily with less work!

0.18μm Digital Process

Using newly developed digital process IC - almost all signalprocessing can be done with this -designed at 0.18micro m rule, the video signals are digitized up to 38-bit internal digital processing. Full digital processing after preknee ensures stable and reliablepicture quality.

S/N Ratio -66dB (PAL) / -68dB (NTSC) (Typical)

Excellent S/N 66dB (PAL) / 68dB (NTSC), impossible figure so far, has been achievable thanks to newly developed CCD signal processing, improvement of Pre-Amp, digitization of remaining analog circuit and adoption of 14bit A/D conversion. Also the D/A converter for Video is 12bit, so not only digital but also analog video out can be hi-quality.

Various DTL Functions

New DTL functions are incorporated in addition to conventional Diagonal DTL. FINE DTL, WIDE-BAND-DTL, NEW-SKIN-DTL, CLEAR-VF-DTL (Patent-Pending),/ NEW-SLIM-DTL, VERTICAL-SLIM-DTL (5 LINE-DTL)

System Expander SE-S500

For the requirement of same performance as studio type Camera, System Expander SE-S500 is available. This unit can mount large lens and 7" VF. Same operability with conventional studio type camera can be achieved.In case of operation with large lens + 5" VF, the operation can be made without SE-S500 by feeding the power to lens & 5" VF from DC12V CN (Max 2A).
