Perfect Match Between Studio and Portable Cameras
The portable and studio cameras use the same CCD, same
analog and digital video processing, same optical filters, and
in most cases, the same PC boards, providing an unparalleled
similarity in performance and function between the two
camera types.
HD SDI Output from the Camera Head
HD SDI output is provided from the camera head, and by using
VTR connector (option), direct connection is possible with HD
digital equipment, such as an HD VTR.
RET Video and Teleprompter Video
The CCU-790A accepts two channels of return video input as
standard. It is available with up to 4ch as a factory option. Input
signals can be selected from HD-SDI, D1 component and VBS
signals. The CCU includes an up converter permitting a SDTV
return video signal (D1) to be viewed on the HD viewfinder. The
CCU transmits the HD return video signal(each Y, P
B
, P
R
) and
two NTSC Q-TV video signals (Q-TV1
*
, Q-TV2
*
) to the camera
for teleprompter and external monitoring purposes.

For the HDK-79E, either Q-TV1 or Q-TV2 can be selected for output.
Low Center of Gravity
Both the studio and portable cameras are compact with low
center-of-gravity. Especially for the portable camera there is
excellent balance when operated on the shoulder. Regarding
the 7-inch viewfinder for HDK-790E, the position is lower and
closer to the optical axis of the camera head.
Return Switch
A Return select switch is located on the handle grip of the
portable camera to control the selection when the camera is
held off the shoulder, such as on the hip for low angle shots.
High Performance Viewfinders
For the HDK-79E, a 2-inch 16:9 high definition VF for portable
application and a 5-inch B/W VF (option) for studio application
are available. Employing a magnifying eye-piece in the 2-inch
VF, visibility is further improved. For the HDK-790E, 7" B/W VF
and 7" color VF (option) are available.
7-inch VF attaches to the camera with a mechanism allowing
easy panning and tilting for VF. Cable connection between the
camera and the 7-inch VF is integrated into the pan and tilt
mechanism and fully protected against possible damage.
In addition, a 6-inch color LCD viewfinder is also available as
an option for both studio and portable camera models.
On-Line Diagnostics
An On-line Diagnostic System monitors a range of circuits including
video, control, fiber optic transmission, pulse and power supply.
Application of Standard 2/3-inch Lenses
The camera incorporates the HDTV lens mount (BTA-S-1005B
type) as standard. But the Ikegami 2/3-inch lens mount can
be specified as a factory order option to use lenses from
conventional NTSC Ikegami HK-series cameras such as
HK-388/377/366/355, etc.
Rotating Camera Cable Connection
The SMPTE standard fiber camera cable connector is provided
with a pivoting mount on both the portable and studio camera
heads. This permits a natural bend to the cable, even for
example, when the portable camera is placed on the ground.
Strong Hand Grips
HDK-790E has its side handle
directly attached to the camera
head, which ensures the solid
structure of the handle. It also
has a loop to attach a rope,
by which the camera head can
be hoisted.
