Outline and features

The SK-HD1200 is a high-performance portable
HDTV Studio and EFP camera.
With its new 2.3 million pixels native 1080p
3-CCD, the SK-HD1200 provides outstanding
performance. The camera offers sharper and
cleaner HD images due to its 16-bit A/D converters
and Hitachi's implementation of the latest digital
processing technology.
outstanding high sensitivity and a low vertical
smear specifications.
Outstanding Features
High resolution
The latest generation 2/3-inch 2.3 million pixels
CCD with micro lenses and digital multi speed
signal processing circuits provide a horizontal
resolution performance
(luminance channel).
Latest generation Digital technology
The brand new, power efficient Digital Signal
Processor LSI with 40nm design rule and 16-bit
analog-to-digital conversion
faithful video image reproduction and quality.
Digital video processing and encoding provide
low interference and high stability.
 High sensitivity and Signal to Noise ratio
Low-noise circuit technologies provide a signal
to noise ratio of 60dB.
Even at high gain, clear images are obtained
with little noise.
The standard sensitivity is F8 at 2000lx and
minimum illumination is 3l x with F1.4 lens iris
stop.
 The new streamlined body design
The new streamlined dockable camera body
design has a low center of gravity for ease of use
on the shoulder. The lightweight, 2-piece
dockable-style camera body is designed with a
robust ENG Viewfinder attachment, and active
cooling side panels.
Versatile CCD drive functions
Three modes of shutter operation are provided:
Five PRESET electronic shutter speeds
LOCK SCAN to image computer monitors
without flicker
Automatic Electronic Shutter (AES) maintains
the video level with the lens iris and shutter
speeds.
The camera achieves
of 1100 TV lines
provide very
Setup card
A small plug-in setup card (SD card) stores the
user setup and Scene File information.
Digital processing improves Image Highlight
Quality
 Real-time Lens Aberration Correction(RLAC)
Lens chromatic aberration of magnification is
reduced by digital processing with supporting
lenses.
 Knee saturation and auto-knee
The auto knee provides a wide dynamic range
by dynamically compressing the video level
above 100%. Knee saturation restores color
saturation to scene highlights above 100%.
12-Vector and Linear Matrix masking
The 12-vector and linear matrix provide the
user a wide latitude in subject image color
control.
 Auto Chroma
When shooting a bright blue illumination, the
Masking function emphasizes the color and
then the contour of objects almost disappears.
Auto Chroma adjusts masking correction level
of saturated color portion automatically.
 Automatic Skin Tone Detail Circuits
Skin tone detail smoothes and softens facial
lines and blemishes without sacrificing overall
scene detail, also provides two separate
settings that can be used separately or
simultaneously.
Automatic Skin tone detail provides an easy
and fast means to optimize Skin tone detail.
 Skin Tone masking
Skin tone masking provides "fine" "Painting"
(hue and saturation) of Skin tones without
effecting other colors in the scene.
Variable Detail Boost Frequency
The detail frequency can be adjusted to
provide coarse or fine contours around edges of
subjects in the scene thereby reproducing a
natural and pleasing picture.
Gray Scale Automatic Setup
This "through the lens" automatic setup is uses
a standard gray scale chart to automatically
setup gain, gamma, black and flare thus
saving the video operator time and effort.
