Picture Cache Board (Optional)
The HKDW-703 Picture Cache Board, which was originally
developed for the HDW-750 series camcorders, is now
compatible with the HDW-F900R. It provides up to eight
seconds of loop recording using solid state memory. Thus,
when the REC start button is pressed, everything that
happened up to eight seconds before that moment can be
recorded to tape.
In addition, time-lapse and frame-by-frame recording
capabilities, known
as the interval
recording function,
can be provided by
this option board.
2-3 Pull-down/Down Converter Board
(Optional)
In addition to the HKDW-702 board for down-conversion of
1080/59.94i or 1080/50i HD signals, the HKDW-902R* is
also available, which down-converts 1080/23.98P HD
signals to SD signals via 2-3 pull-down circuitry. Thus, it
allows on-set SD monitoring of 1080/23.98P signals on a
conventional NTSC monitor. This board also enables SD
output to the HDW-F900R’s viewfinder or a monitor
connected to the camcorder during 23.98P recording. With
this function, users can check images on the viewfinder or
monitor without the flickers that usually occur from 23.98P
recording.
For the down-converted SD signal, SD-SDI or analog
composite can be selected via the camcorder’s set-up menu.
Note: when outputting down-converted SD signals, one of the HD-SDI output connectors on the HDW-F900R
will be utilized.
Slow Shutter/Image Inverter Board
(Optional)
The HKDW-905R Slow Shutter and Image Inverter Board**
powerfully enhances the operational and creative versatility
of the HDW-F900R camcorder. With the HKDW-905R
equipped, the camcorder can slow its shutter speed down to
a 64-frame period*. During such a long frame period,
electrical charges accumulate on the CCDs, dramatically
increasing sensitivity. This helps camera operators to shoot in
extremely dark environments. In addition, because more
picture blur occurs when shutter speed is reduced, the
HKDW-905R allows operators to produce creative pictures
when shooting moving objects, through the intentional use of
blurred images.
The image-inversion function of the HKDW-905R board also
allows the use of a variety of image-inverting lenses, the
Anamorphic Lens Adaptor, and cinema lenses with 2/3-inch
adaptors.
*
The slow-shutter function and the image-inversion function cannot be used simultaneously.
The shutter speed can be adjusted to a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-frame period.

The HKDW-905R is not compatible with the HDW-750 series camcorders.
RM-B750
Remote Control Unit – RM-B750
(Optional)
The RM-B750 Remote Control Unit has been designed to
establish a highly mobile and fully controllable camera
system in the field by integrating control capability
equivalent to a Master Set-up Unit into a compact unit
powered from the device to be controlled.
The RM-B750 can be connected directly to the HDW-F900R.
Combination of an LCD touch-panel screen and direct push
buttons enables full parameter adjustment of the camera to
be controlled. When necessary, basic tape transport
functions of the camcorder can be controlled. For further
operational convenience, the RM-B750 has a Memory Stick
media card slot so that various setup parameters can be
stored and transferred between camcorders.
