Advanced CMOS sensors are employed to achieve superb picture quality. CMOS
sensors have wide dynamic range and in principle, no smear since electric charges
are not shifted throughout the imager which is the cause of vertical smear in CCDs.
Instead each pixel of the CMOS sensor has it's own amplifier (which changes electric
charges to voltage signals). So it performs signal amplification on a pixel basis.
The CMOS sensors can be readout in either
progressive or interlace, supporting native
multi-format operation. They also have the
capability of high speed operation for slow
motion and other special applications (the HS
model uses the same standard CMOS
sensors, so camera upgrade is practical).
The Advanced CMOS sensors used in the
HDK-79EC include system-on-chip technology,
so not just imaging, but also a range of
support circuity is included within the sensor
itself. The result is a flexible sensor in a small
package with low power consumption.
The output of the sensors is digital, providing
for the first time, a true end-to-end digital
solution.

The HDK-79EC achieves outstanding
performance to meet the critical needs of
today and tomorrow, with exceptional
functionality and superior reliability.
For extraordinary flexibility, the HDK-
79EC is designed as a docking style camera
head, allowing configuration as a fiber,
triax, or self-contained camera.
The SE-79D, System Expander, adds the
flexibility to rapidly change between full
featured studio camera, and shoulder or
jib mounted portable camera.
