2.9. HDC-1700 – Entry Level HDC-Model
On IBC 2012, Sony introduced the new entry level fibre system camera: HDC-1700.
Although the camera design is based on the new HDC-2500-series, its feature set is
focused on the main stream HDTV production application without compromise in
picture quality. It is a model for those customers prioritizing financial budgets and
can live with limited key features.
Along with the new HDC-1700 camera head, a new CCU model was launched, the
HDCU-1700. The CCU design is based on the HDCU-2500 and as such shares the
same options.
At the time of its introduction, HDC-1700 and HDCU-1700 featured only 1.5G fibre
transmission and was completely incompatible to the new HDC-2500-series. After
IBC 2013, full compatibility to the HDC-2500-series was assured (Software Version
V1.45 or higher) and 3G fibre transmission was included (Software Version V2.0 or
higher). Today, the HDC-1700 can be regarded as a full member of the growing
HDC-camera family. The performance is on a comparable level (thanks to the same
2/3"-POWER-HAD-FX sensors and 16-bit A/D-converters used in the HDC-1700
series), but feature-wise there are some differences.
