Overview
The HDC-700A Color Video Camera is a CCD-based
color video camera designed for studio use. The
camera may be used with devices such as a camera
control unit, video selector, master setup unit, and/or
remote control panel to form an HDC-700 series
camera system. Also, a CNU-700 Camera Command
Network Unit may be used to create a system capable
of controlling up to 96 video cameras.
Features
The HDC-700A has the following features:
Good usability
Since the viewfinder position is low, the difference in
viewpoint from the lens is small. Also, since the
overall height is low, the viewfinder or camera
viewpoint is not blocked, and ease of operation is thus
increased.
High performance
High image quality: The camera has a feature set
worthy of a studio CCD camera, and provides
high image quality.
High signal-to-noise ratio: A high-performance
CCD and superior circuitry and packaging
technology give the camera a high signal-to-noise
ratio.
Wide dynamic range: Automatic or manual knee
point and knee slope control provide improved
reproducibility of high luminance areas, up to
600% brighter than the darkest areas.
High sensitivity: The camera achieves a sensitivity
of f8 at 2000 lx. This allows a 100% video level
to be achieved with a video gain of 12 dB when
the subject is illuminated with only 7.5 lx.
High vertical resolution: The EVS (Enhanced
Vertical Definition System) provides a vertical
resolution of up to 1080 lines. With the further
Super-EVS function, the vertical resolution can be
freely adjusted.

Automatic setup
The HDC-700A features a microprocessor-based
automatic setup function and a filing system which
allows storage of various adjustment data. These
features allow quick, accurate setup and reduce the
time required for maintenance.
Electronic shutter
The HDC-700A has a six-speed electronic shutter (
1
to
/
sec). Choosing the appropriate shutter speed
2000
allows capture of video with minimal blurring even
when shooting quickly moving subjects. Further, the
ECS (Extended Clear Scan) feature allows setting the
shutter speed in 510 steps from
1
1
from
/
to
/
sec. This allows shooting of screens
60
7000
such as computer displays without dark bands.
Wide range of audio functions
The camera has two microphone channels, two
intercom channels, and two program audio channels,
and can handle input and output of digital audio
signals in AES and EBU formats. The two intercom
channels may be switched between connection to a
producer line and an engineer line using a switch on
the rear panel. The camera also has a monitor function
which allows the microphone and line input audio to
be routed to the intercom headphones.
Self-diagnosis function
A built-in self-diagnosis feature reduces the time
required for troubleshooting.
Display functions
A built-in character generator allows text display of
zoom position, camera settings, and warning messages
on the viewfinder screen. Box cursor, center marker,
safety zone, zoom position mark, and 4:3 marker
display capabilities are also provided.
