Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This
allows the thickness of detail signals to be set appropriately for
the subject, thus enabling high-definition image expression.
H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.
White/black limiter
The white and black details can be limited independently.
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal, which
can be added only on images on the viewfinder screen in order
to facilitate focusing in various situations: Functions for
coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the VF detail signal by
adding modulation, and changing the VF detail level according
to the zoom position.
Focus assist indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen provides
a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be easily
determined by observing fluctuation of the level indicator as a
guide.
VF dynamic contrast
The VF contrast signal can be added only to images on the
viewfinder screen, and facilitate focusing in situations with
high brightness areas and low contrast levels.
Numerous viewfinder functions
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern, a safety-zone marker, and a center marker, camera
settings may also be displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Furthermore, there are other indicators arranged above and
below the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning
indicator, and a warning indicator to tell you that one or more
settings are other than standard.
Menu-based setting operation function
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items, a safety-
zone marker or center marker, screen size marker, etc. can be
made quickly and easily using setup menus displayed on the
viewfinder screen or an external monitor.
VF operation assignable switch
Assignable switches for operating the viewfinder are located
on the rear panel of the camera. These switches are linked to
viewfinder assignable switches, such as those featured on
HDVF-EL70, and allow for using the camera's buttons to
perform functions like image zooming within the viewfinder.
PinP function
The return video signal or HD prompter picture can be
displayed on the viewfinder in picture-in-picture mode.
Note
The PinP function cannot be used during stand-alone
operation, and cannot be used with the HD TRUNK FRAME
SYNCHRO function simultaneously.
Wide variety of input/output interfaces
In addition to 3G/HD/SD-SDI output and HD/SD-SDI input,
HDC2000 features a wide variety of input/output interfaces,
including the following:
Network TRUNK function
The network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data
transmission between the camera and CCU at speeds of up to
1 Gbps. This allows for a multitude of new system
configurations, such as connecting several IP transmission
cameras as subcameras.
Note
The network TRUNK transfer rate differs depending on the
video format. Jumbo frames are not supported.
HD TRUNK function
The new HD TRUNK function uses 3G optical transmission to
send HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HD-SDI video
signal) from the HDC2000 to an HDCU2000/2500.
Note
The HD TRUNK function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
HD prompter function
The new HD prompter function on HDC2000 supports sending
HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HD-SDI signal)
separate from the return video signal from an HDCU2000/
2500 to the HDC2000.
Note
The HD prompter function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
User-friendly operation
Unit-body with low center of gravity
Featuring a stylish exterior with a low overall height, the
viewfinder's position is kept as low as possible, bringing it
closer to the optical axis of the lens.
Assignable switches
The camera has a switch to which various functions can be
assigned on the rear panel. You can activate your desired
function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion,
instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in
advance.
USB connector
Connect a USB drive to the USB connector to save and load
setup menu setting data.
Function for prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, this shuts off the power
supply from the connected Camera Control Unit.
