HDC-P1
HD Multi-purpose Camera
Sony is proud to introduce a highly sophisticated and compact Point-of-View (POV) style HD camera, the HDC-P1.
This camera system has been introduced to answer the requirement for HD robotics, multi-format sports applications and
emerging 3D applications. The camera retains the operational feel of the Sony HDC-1000 Series cameras. Packed with
years of Sony high technology and experience, this remarkably slim camera answers the ever-increasing need for high
picture quality in a small, lightweight unit.
The HDC-P1 is equipped with a 1920 x 1080 2/3-inch 2.2-megapixel CCD to deliver extremely high picture quality that
will intercut with the HDC-1000 or the HSC/HXC cameras seamlessly. The HDC-P1 offers a rich feature set including the
capability of 1080i, 1080p, and 720p operation in a very compact body.
Unlike retasking a camcorder for studio applications, the HDC-P1 has been designed from the outset as a studio camera.
Care has been taken to design the camera operationally and functionally the same as the HDC Series cameras.
Camera matching is simple and system controls are easy to access within the cameras menu's.
In addition, the HDC-P1 shares the same control system as the HDC Series, ensuring ease of operation.
Along with its CCD, control system, and extremely slim body, many other features combine to make the HDC-P1 very
versatile, including optional 24p capturing capability, 14-bit A/D converter, motorized ND/CC filters, and creative picture
performance. The HDC-P1 is an ideal POV camera for various applications including flash cameras, unmanned studio
robotics cameras, stadium sporting events, and stereoscopic 3D shooting applications.
With its cutting-edge performance, operability, and system flexibility, the HDC-P1 is a high-performance yet affordable
multipurpose camera.
