Overview - Sony super motion hdc4300 Operation Manual

Overview

The HDC4300 is a camera unit equipped with a 2/3-inch,
9.8 megapixel, 3-chip CMOS image sensor for super motion
video camera systems.
In addition to standard HD and HD high frame rate (HD-HFR)
imaging, it also supports 4K multi-format imaging.
Features
High definition, high picture quality, and high
performance
The HDC4300 features a newly developed 2/3-inch
9.8 megapixel CMOS image sensor and newly developed
wide color gamut prism block, and a high performance digital
signal processor LSI.
It connects to a BPU4000 Baseband Processor Unit
HDCU2000/2500 Camera Control Unit
cables to support various formats from HD high-speed
imaging to 4K imaging, enabling the reproduction of high
image quality, high-definition images.
(The addition of image formats is supported using options.)
1) For details about supported software versions, contact a Sony sales
representative or Sony service representative.
High-speed imaging
HD format (1080P, 1080i, 720P) imaging is supported at 2×
and 3× frame rates (100, 119.88, 150, 179.82 fps) as
standard. 4×, 6×, and 8× (200, 239.76, 300, 359.64, 400,
479.52 fps) are supported using option packages.
4K image shooting
4K/23.98P, 24P, 25P, 29.97P, 50P, 59.94P is supported using
an option package. Pure 4K high-definition images can be
captured using a 4K 3-chip RGB-Full pixel sensor.
And the newly developed wide color gamut prism enables
color reproduction covering the 2020 color gamut.
Focus assist functions
The camera features various focus assist functions in the
viewfinder for enhanced focusing.
When shooting in 4K in particular, the dynamic focus function
enables 4K-quality focus adjustment.
Operability and scalability
The camera is essentially the same size and weight as
HDC2500-series cameras, and accordingly features the same
advantages in usability.
The main functions and camera operation, including
connection with peripheral devices, power supply to the
camera, and intercom function, all follow that of conventional
devices.

Main Functions
Various color-reproduction adjustment
functions
Adaptive-matrix function
This function controls the matrix calculation coefficients for
more accurate color conversion when shooting. It provides
accurate color conversion, even when shooting under
conditions that would otherwise exceed the color conversion
range of traditional matrix functions, such as under strong
monochromatic blue light sources.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition to the standard 6-axis matrix function, the unit has
a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the hue and
chroma independently for color components in 16-axis
directions. This is quite useful in color matching among
multiple cameras.
Knee saturation
This compensates the change of hue and decrease in chroma
that occur in highlighted areas. This enables reproduction of
natural skin tones under strong lighting.
Low key saturation
This compensates for saturation in low-key zones. It
compensates for color reproduction in all zones, in
combination with the matrix color compensation and knee
saturation functions.
Selectable gamma table
Equipped with seven types of standard gamma tables and four
types of hyper gamma tables. Hyper gamma enables cinema-
like image reproduction with wide dynamic range that cannot
be achieved with conventional video gamma.
User gamma
Gamma tables created using CvpFileEditor
a "Memory Stick," and registered in the camera from
MSU-1000/1500 and RCP-1500 series devices.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail
function
Like HDC2500-series cameras, this function allows control
(emphasis or suppression) of the detail level for a certain hue
or chroma area in the image, by creating a detail gate signal
from color components of your specified hue, such as skin
tones. The detail levels of three hues can be adjusted
independently at the same time.
The camera features a natural skin detail function that adjusts
the detail gate signal in order to distinguish clearly between
parts of skin you want to smooth from the parts you do not
want to smooth, such as eyebrows.
