Sony HDC-1000 3G Ready HD Studio Camera The HDC-1000 studio camera utilises advanced HD Digital Signal Processing with 14 bit A/D. The HDC-1000 incorporates a newly developed CCD imager that creates images in either 1080/50 frame progressive or 1080/50 field interlace frame rates, depending on desired final system output.

The new CCD and DSP LSI are two key devices that allow stunning image creation in a variety of scanning modes. The new camera system accommodates all popular interlace and progressive scan formats including 1080/50, 1080/24P as well as the highest-quality 720/50P images.

The HDC-1000 provides digital transmission using SMPTE standard fibre optic cable for connecting its associated HDCU-1000/1500 Camera Control Unit. In addition to its exceptional quality, the camera can transmit all-digital bi-directional video and audio signals, one control line, power line, and prompter line over extremely long distances - up to 3000 metres with the HDCU-1000 and 1800 metres with the HDCU-1500. If required, the HDC-1000 can be operated in a triax environment by utilising the optional HDFX-100 triax adapter.
