CCDs
• IT (Interline Transfer)
image sensors with 2.2 million pixels, for full
HD resolution (1920 × 1080)
• Newly developed "PowerHAD FX" CCDs,
featuring a signal processing ASIC with 14-bit
A/D converters
These new image sensor technologies enable the
capture of very high-quality images, with F11
(59.94i) and F12 (50i) sensitivity and 54 dB.
Multi-format support
The 59.94i/50i/25P system frequencies are
supported, for flexible worldwide HD recording.
High-quality shooting ensured by 14-bit
camera signal processing
A 14-bit A/D converter ensures stable, reliable,
high-quality image processing.
Rich selection of interfaces
• HDSDI signal output connector
• HDSDI and SDSDI signal output connector:
Allows to select HDSDI or SDSDI signal.
Timecode and other text data can be
superimposed on signals.
• Composite signal output connector
• Gen-lock input connector: Enables
synchronized operation of multiple units, with
synchronization possible to either VBS or HD-
Y signals.
• Audio input connectors: Supports AES/EBU
signal input, in addition to microphone input,

Features for improved performance
under various shooting conditions
• Down conversion is provided as a standard
function.
• The slow shutter function is provided as a
standard function.
• The popular Picture Cache function is offered
as a standard feature.
• New noise suppression circuits offer improved
performance under difficult evening or
nighttime shooting conditions.
• The digital extender function which is newly
provided magnifies a part of the video by DSP
processing, and prevents the decrease in
sensitivity (F-drop) that occurs when the lens
extender function is used.
• The ability to select from several gamma tables
enables a high degree of freedom in picture
composition.
VTR features
HDCAM format
• Use of the HDCAM format allows high
performance HD digital recording and playback
while preserving the same ease of use as
conventional camcorder equipment.
• The same cassette size (S size) as Digital
Betacam can be used to achieve the following
long recording times.
For 30 frames (59.94i): Approximately 40
minutes
For 25 frames (50i and 25PsF): Approximately
48 minutes
