HD Super Motion Color Camera HDC-3300R
Since the launch of the BVP-3000 high-speed
scanning camera in 1984, Sony has been continuously
developing cameras that provide high-quality slow-
motion image shooting, which are primarily used for
sports coverage. Nowadays, as television broadcasting
evolves and moves steadily towards high definition
(HD), there is strong demand for a new breed of slow-
motion camera system - one that offers even greater
performance, as well as HD compatibility.
The reputable HDC-3300 was developed to meet this
demand. Today, it has evolved into the HDC-3300R - a
next-generation model with stunning picture quality by
enhanced S/N ratio, state-of-the-art features, and new
functions.
Sony’s cutting-edge technology enables the HDC-3300R
to capture full-resolution 1920 x 1080 high-definition
images at an amazing three times the normal frame
rate (1080/180i, 1080/150i, 720/180P, or 720/150P).
The HDC-3300R system is capable of transferring data
at a rate of 10 Gb/s. This high transfer rate enables
superb-quality uncompressed wideband signals to be
transferred from the camera head to the HDCU-3300R
Camera Control Unit over distances up to 8,200 feet
(2,500 meters)*. Furthermore, since its design is based
on the proven HDC-1500 HD Multi-format Camera, the
HDC-3300R Super Motion HD Camera offers the same
array of functionalities, outstanding picture quality by
14-bit A/D converter, versatile multi-format capability,
and high reliability as the HDC1500, in addition to its
slow-motion capability.
Another unique advantage of this camera is its
outstanding picture quality even at normal frame rates,
which is achieved thanks to its signal-processing LSI
(Large Scale Integration) that’s dedicated to normal-
speed capturing. This simultaneous output can be
used as a conventional camera feed to the switcher,
making the camera ideal for use in a variety of
shooting opportunities. In addition, one of the most
sophisticated characteristics of this camera is its Flicker
Reduction function, which further enhances its picture
quality.
With all these attractive features, the Sony HDC-3300R
camera is the optimum solution to deliver slow-motion
HD images of breathtaking quality.
* The actual distance will depend on operating conditions, such as the number
of cables used and configuration of the system.
Lens, viewfinder and microphone are optional.
