Highly Acclaimed Progressive CCD
Based on Sony’s HAD sensor technology and the latest on-chip lens structure,
this 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel*
1
full-HD progressive CCD offers high sensitivity
of F11 (at 1080/50i) or F10 (at 1080/59.94i) at 2,000 lx, and a superior signal-to-
noise ratio of -60 dB even without digital noise suppression.
In addition, a wide variety of capturing formats are available, including 1080/50i,
1080/59.94i, 1080/23.98p, 1080/24p, 1080/25p, and 1080/29.97p.
What’s more, this CCD can capture top-quality 1080/50p or 1080/59.94p images
– a capability that also delivers the highest quality 720/50p or 720/59.94p image
acquisition.
Double-speed acquisition for excellent slow-motion picture quality is available in

Servo-controlled ND and CC Filters*
3
HDC-2000, HDC-2500, and HDC-2570 cameras are equipped with dual optical
filter wheels for ND (Neutral Density) and CC (Color Correction) which can be
remotely controlled by any remote control panel (RCP) or master setup unit
(MSU), as well as directly controlled by the camera head.
*3 The HDC-2400 is equipped with a single optical filter wheel for ND.
State-of-the-art DSP LSI with 16-bit A/D Conversion
The DSP LSI developed for the HDC-2000 Series supports 1080/50p and
1080/59.94p progressive formats, and 16-bit resolution, making full use of the
high-clarity images captured by the CCD. Additionally, high-resolution A/D
conversion allows faithful reproduction of gradation in mid-to-dark-tone areas of
the picture. White balance, white shading, and flare are digitally corrected,
allowing for stable image correction. Moreover, the new version of the Auto Lens
Aberration Compensation 2 (ALAC2) function is incorporated to optimize lens
performance, providing stunning picture quality by highly improved horizontal
and vertical compensation.
3-Gbps Optical Fiber Transmission
HDC-2000, HDC-2400, and HDC-2500 cameras offer a 3-Gbps transmission
capability as standard. This high-performance feature enables you to shoot in
various capturing formats.
Each camera comes equipped with a SMPTE-standard optical fiber interface for
connecting its respective HDCU-2000 or HDCU-2500 Camera Control Unit.
In addition to achieving exceptional quality, these cameras can transmit all-
digital bi-directional video and audio signals, a control line, and a prompter line
over extremely long distances – up to 4,000 meters (13,123 feet)*

*4 When supplying power to the camera via optical fiber cable, maximum cable length depends on camera system
configuration, lens type, the size of the optical fiber cable, and the number of cable connectors.
Network TRUNK*
5
The Network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data transmission between
the camera and the CCU at up to 1 Gbps, which supports new system
configurations being used with various IP-based products.
*5 Optional HKC-FB20 and HKC-CN20 side panels are required for the HDC-2570.
