  • Page 3: Overview

    The 4K output and HD output signal conversion settings can be configured independently. The HDRC-4000 HDR Production Converter Unit converts HDR video signals using the OETF standard. OETF supports Dual system signal processing several standards, including Sony’s original S-Log3 curve, Equipped with a dual system (channel A, channel B) signal SMPTE ST 2084 (PQ) and ITU-R BT.
  • Page 4 The audio signal with a delay matching the video signal is embedded in the output signal. Remote control Supports the remote control by Sony system camera products. Format setting, HDR/SDR setting, OETF setting, color space setting, image quality setting, file operation, and menu operation are supported from an RCP-1500 series Remote Control Panel or an MSU-1000 series Master Setup Unit.
