Sony HDC1500L Multi Format HD Camera System

The HDC-1500 portable camera utilizes an advanced HD DSP with 14 Bit A/D converters. The HDC-1500 incorporates a newly developed CCD imager that creates images in either 1080 60 frame progressive or 1080 60 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 1080/60, 1080/24P as well as the highest-quality 720/60P images. The HDC-1500 camera comes equipped with a single optical interface for transmitting high-quality digital data over long distances. The camera also provides two HD SDI outputs and one digitally down-converted SDI or analog composite output. In addition, viewfinder signals with characters can be output from the SDI output connector, giving camera operators additional convenience. Furthermore, when in 24P operation, the built-in 2-3 pull-down function of the HDC-1500 enables 60i down-converted SD signals to be output on a standard SD monitor - a capability that also minimizes the flicker that generally occur on the viewfinder.The HDC-1500L can be operated in a triax environment utilizing the HDTX-100 triax adapter.
