HD SUPER MOTION COLOUR CAMERA HDC-3300
OFFERS TOP-QUALITY SDTV VIDEO PRODUCTION OPPORTUNITIES
INCE THE LAUNCH of the BVP-3000 high-speed scanning camera in 1984, Sony has been
S
continuously developing cameras that provide high-quality slow-motion image shooting, which are
primarily used for sports coverage. Today, as television broadcasting evolves and moves steadily
towards High Definition (HD), there is now strong demand for a new breed of slow-motion camera system
– one that offers even greater performance, as well as HD compatibility. In response to this demand, Sony
offers the HDC-3300 Super Motion Camera and HDCU-3300 Camera Control Unit – its long-awaited HD
slow-motion camera system.
Sony's cutting-edge technology enables the HDC-3300 to capture full-resolution 1920 x 1080 High Definition
images at an amazing three times the normal frame rate (1080/180i, 1080/150i, 720/180P, or 720/150P).
The HDC-3300 system is capable of transferring data at a rate of 10 Gb/s. This high transfer rate enables
superb-quality uncompressed wideband signals to be transferred from the camera head to the HDCU-3300
Camera Control Unit over distances up to 2,500 metres (8,200 feet)*. Furthermore, since its design is based
on the proven HDC-1500 HD Multi-format Camera, the HDC-3300 Super Motion HD Camera offers the same
array of functionalities, outstanding picture quality by 14-bit A/D converter, versatile multi-format capability
and high reliability as the HDC-1500, in addition to its slow-motion capability.
Another unique advantage of this camera is its outstanding picture quality even at normal frame rates, which
is achieved thanks to its signal-processing LSI (Large Scale Integration) that's dedicated to normal-speed
operation. This simultaneous output can be used as a conventional camera feed to the switcher, making the
camera ideal for use in a variety of shooting opportunities.
With all these attractive features, the Sony HDC-3300 camera is the optimum solution to deliver slow-motion
HD images of breathtaking quality.
* The distance depends on the conditions such as the number of cables used and configuration of the system.
Lens, viewfinder and microphone are extra.
