HDC-2000 Series Multi-Format HD Camera System

HDC-2000

The HDC-2000 Series has been accepted as a worldwide standard with its excellent picture quality realized by cutting-edge technologies, including high-performance 2/3-inch CCD image sensors and a digital signal processor (DSP) with a 16-bit A/D converter.

In addition, the HDC-2000 Series incorporates a 3-Gbps high bit-rate fiber transmission system as standard which enables double-speed acquisition for exquisite picture-quality slow motion.

Together with these cameras, Sony offers two types of camera control unit for the HDC-2000 Series. Also, exchangeable outside panels are provided for flexible operation through fiber, triax, or wireless infrastructures.

Furthermore, Sony offers an upgrade path for tomorrow’s 4K operation to owners of the HDC-2000, HDC-2500, and HDC-2400. With the optional HKCU-2040 4K/HDR Processor Board installed in the HDCU-2000 or HDCU-2500 Camera Control Unit, these cameras can be operated together with the HDC-4300 4K Camera in a 4K live camera system.

Highly Acclaimed Progressive CCD

Based on Sony’s HAD sensor technology and the latest on-chip lens structure, this 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel full-HD progressive CCD offers high sensitivity of F11 (at 1080/50i) or F10 (at 1080/59.94i) at 2,000 lx, and a superior signal-tonoise ratio of -60 dB even without digital noise suppression.

Servo-controlled ND and CC Filters

HDC-2000, HDC-2500, and HDC-2570 cameras are equipped with dual optical filter wheels for ND (Neutral Density) and CC (Color Correction) which can be remotely controlled by any remote control panel (RCP) or master setup unit (MSU), as well as directly controlled by the camera head.

State-of-the-art DSP LSI with 16-bit A/D Conversion

The DSP LSI developed for the HDC-2000 Series supports 1080/50p and 1080/59.94p progressive formats, and 16-bit resolution, making full use of the high-clarity images captured by the CCD. Additionally, high-resolution A/D conversion allows faithful reproduction of gradation in mid-to-dark-tone areas of the picture.

3-Gbps Optical Fiber Transmission

HDC-2000, HDC-2400, and HDC-2500 cameras offer a 3-Gbps transmission capability as standard. This high-performance feature enables you to shoot in various capturing formats.

Network TRUNK

The Network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data transmission between the camera and the CCU at up to 1 Gbps, which supports new system configurations being used with various IP-based products.

Compact and Lightweight Camera Body

HDC-2400, HDC-2500, and HDC-2570 cameras incorporate carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in their outside panel. With a strong and lightweight body, these cameras are highly mobile and can be operated even in the toughest shooting conditions.
The HDC Series provides stable handling, owing to its low center of gravity. You can easily adjust the shoulder pad into a well-balanced position without needing to use a screwdriver. Also, a wide viewable area beneath the handle provides you with a broad field of view, ideal for handheld camera operation. HDC-2000 studio cameras also offer great ergonomic design to increase ease of use.

Noise Suppression Function

The HDC-2000 Series has a Noise Suppression function which reduces the high-frequency noise elements in video signals by using Sony’s advanced digital signal processing technology.

Two Types of Focus Assist Functions

The Viewfinder Detail function adds dedicated image-enhancing edge signals directly to the viewfinder, helping you to recognize a focusing point.
The Focus Assist Indicator displays an indicator for adjustment at the bottom (or another selected position) of the viewfinder frame.
This is helpful especially when shooting with a wide-viewing angle.

The HDC-2000 Series is a powerful tool for now and for the future.
