Page 19: Progressive Vs. Interlace
1.8 PROGRESSIVE VS. INTERLACE The 24P HD Electronic Cinematography Camera System is a PROGRESSIVE capture device unlike older video cameras that capture the image in an INTERLACE manner. INTERLACE: A video scanning system where the odd numbered lines are scanned separately from the even numbered lines.
Page 20: General Imaging Considerations
1.9 GENERAL IMAGING CONSIDERATIONS The HD900F has a wide range of menu settings that allow the user to control the look of the picture. These settings can be a powerful tool to change or modify the captured image. Most components of the video signal can be manipulated. Levels, saturation, gamma and matrix will have a major influence over the final video output, be it for TV or film.
Page 21 1.9 GENERAL IMAGING CONSIDERATIONS Clear Scan and ECS (Extended Clear Scan): This function eliminates the banding effect when shooting a monitor display by allowing the shutter speed to be adjusted so that it exactly matches the scanning frequency that are in use.
Page 22 The MATRIX must be OFF for blue or green screen shots because it may create undesirable artifacts. NOTE: To restore the paint menus to their Panavision default settings, recall the STANDARD file on menu page P13, by clicking on it twice.

Page 25: Camera Body Case
2.1 CAMERA BODY CASE The HD900F camera system is comprised of 2 cases, one containing the camera body and the other containing the camera accessories. The camera is stored without the eyepiece attached. Included with the camera is an AC to DC power converter (HDPS) with 2 24V DC and 2 12V DC outputs for camera and accessory power.
Page 27: Accessory Case
2.2 ACCESSORY CASE The accessory case holds a 4x5 swing away matte box with mattes, sunshade, follow focus and knobs, Panavision Steadicam plates, eyepiece leveler, lens light, whip, follow ® focus bracket, and side rod adapter. Clip-on polarizer matte box is optional.

3.2 FILM / HD COMPARATIVE RESOLUTION The 2/3" CCD imager is actually only 11mm in diagonal (as opposed to the 27.5mm diagonal of a 35mm motion picture film frame). Therefore, for any given screen size, the 2/3" CCD will require 2.5 times more horizontal mag- nification than a 35mm film frame.

Page 37: Setting Back Focus
3.4 SETTING BACK FOCUS In order to gain the maximum performance from any lens, it is necessary that back focus be adjusted. Using a lens that is not properly adjusted will result in soft (out of focus) images. While lenses for motion pictures have a fixed back focus that is adjusted by a service technician, lenses for video employ an integral adjustment that is set by the user.
Page 39 3.4 SETTING BACK FOCUS Zoom lenses : 1. Set up a chart or flat test subject at around 4 – 6 feet from the focal plane. 2. Open the iris to the MAXIMUM aperture (T1.8, etc.). Use the in- camera ND filters if necessary. 3.
