Digital Processing Camera Control Unit, the CCU-790A

The Ikegami HDK-series HDTV cameras are designed as Multi-Use Cameras to meet the format requirements of HDTV and 
SDTV, incorporating next-generation 0.18um ASICs in the Camera Control Unit, the CCU-790A.
Also using advanced conversion ASICs, an Optional Engine Board has been developed to achieve Frame and Multi-Format 
Conversion. (24p, 30p, 720p, 1080i, etc).

Incorporating a next-generation digital process ASIC

Using a full digital process ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), precision designed at 
0.18um rule, the video signals are digitalized with 12-bit A/D conversion and up to 38-bit internal 
digital processing (quantization).

 

DTL Correction 

A detail correction system, including digitally processed horizontal, vertical and diagonal correction 
signal for red, green and blue video, is incorporated into the camera head, and obtains noise-free full 
resolution HDTV picture quality even if the camera is used in stand-alone configuration.

Independent DTL

With Independent DTL system in the CCU, the type and amount of compensation can be 
optimized for the different requirements of HDTV and SDTV.

Engine Board (option)

Six-axis + Two-axis Color Corrector

Includes a color correction function that enables hue and 
saturation to be adjusted for each of the six primary 
colors (R, G, B, Cy, Y, Mg), plus another function to make 
color correction of two user-selected colors of the 
subject.

Enhanced Digital DTL

Improved sensuous expressions such as texture and 
sheen, and richer reproduction of details in skin tone in 
dark backgrounds.

Super KNEE

The Knee system makes corrections without changing 
the hue of the highlighted parts and produces a more 
natural highlight appearance, rather than washing it out.

Clear VF DTL function

This function makes a difference in the edging of the image 
exclusively in the viewfinder, to make the precise point of 
focus easier to find, and to make it easier for the 
cameraperson to focus.

Wide-band DTL function

Wide-band edging gives the impression that fine parts of 
subjects or high frequency images have a higher 
resolution.
