FEATURES
Three-times Normal Speed HD Signal Output
The HDC-3300 camera can output full-resolution 1920 x 1080
HD images at an outstanding three times the normal frame rate
of 1080/180i (59.94i) and 1080/150i (50i) and 1280 x 720 HD
images at three times the normal frame rate of 720/180P
(59.94P) and 720/150P (50P).
The slow-motion images captured by this camera are extremely
high-quality. They are further enhanced by Sony's state-of-the-art
techniques to minimise flicker that is typically seen on slow-
motion images due to artificial lighting.
Long-distance Optical Fibre Transmission
The HDC-3300 camera allows captured data to be transferred
as high-quality wideband signals to its companion HDCU-3300
Camera Control Unit up to 2500 metres (8200 feet)* at an
amazingly high data rate of 10 Gb/s. This is achieved through an
SMPTE standard optical fibre cable, giving users a practical, yet
outstanding high-quality transmission system. The HDCU-3300
Camera Control Unit allows these signals to be recorded onto a
compatible third-party server via three HD-SDI outputs.

The distance depends on the conditions such as the number of cables used
and configuration of the system.
High-quality Normal-speed HD Images
In addition to its high-quality, slow-motion images, the HDC-3300
camera also provides high-quality, normal-speed images –
thanks to a signal-processing LSI that's dedicated to
processing these images. Furthermore, the HDCU-3300 Camera
Control Unit can output these normal-speed images for live
transmission simultaneously with Super Motion images.
This allows users to employ the HDC-3300 for both slow-motion
and standard shooting purposes with only one camera and
operator.
HDCU-3300
Flexible System Configuration
The HDC-3300 and HDCU-3300 camera system is compatible
with other Sony broadcast camera peripherals including the
RCP-700/920 Series Remote Control Units, CNU-700 Camera
Command Network Unit and MSU-900/950 Master Setup Units.
This enables the HDC-3300 and HDCU-3300 to be easily
integrated into existing systems of other Sony cameras. In addi-
tion to the conventional 700 protocol, an Ethernet interface
(10Base-T/100Base-TX) is incorporated, allowing the HDC-3300
camera to be controlled over a network. What's more, the
HDC-3300 camera is compatible with the HDLA-1500 and
HDLA-1505 Large Lens Adaptors. These are quick and easy to
install thanks to a unique design that does not require any cable
wiring or time-consuming adjustment.
Ergonomic Design
The design of the HDC-3300 camera is based on the proven
HDC-1500 Series Multi-format HD Portable Camera that pro-
vides a high level of operability. All control switches and connec-
tors are in the most logical places for optimum functionality and
ease of use. The low-profile body of the HDC-3300 minimises
the parallax between the optical axis of the camera head and the
large viewfinder when the camera is attached to HDLA-1500/
HDLA-1505 Large Lens Adaptors and the HDLA-1507 Large
Viewfinder Adaptor. In addition, the HDC-3300 is designed
with a low centre of gravity, allowing the operator to carry the
camera comfortably on the shoulder. The shoulder pad of the
HDC-3300 camera can be adjusted either forwards or back-
wards without using a screwdriver, so the camera can easily be
moved to a well-balanced position.
Reliable Camera Head Operation
The HDC-3300 camera uses optimal design techniques to
reduce heat generation within the camera body for comfortable
operation.
