Picture-in-Picture
The PIP (Picture-in-Picture) function permits simultaneous
monitoring of RET video on a small screen window while
viewing the ongoing camera picture on the remaining
viewfinder screen. This feature is standard on the HK-388
and HK-388W.
●
New Ergonomic Design for the Portable
Companion
The HK-388P and HK-388PW have a new mechanical
design with lower center-of-gravity for good balance on the
shoulder. The triax connector is mounted with pivot to
provide excellent freedom of movement.
In addition to triax or fiber operation, the HK-388P and
HK-388PW can be docked with a Betacam recorder
utilizing the VA-95SA VTR Adaptor and IF-21 Interface.
●
Perfect Match
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
unparallel similarity in performance and function between
the two camera types.
●
Expanded Intercom Facilities
Both studio and portable cameras include 2-channel
intercom each with separate program listen, and with
stereo split selection for dual headset. There is a facility to
remotely switch headset mics OFF when they are
inadvertently left ON. Also, there is the added facility for
production to leave a message for the camera operator to
playback upon return to the camera.
●
Compact Base Station
The size of the BS-388 is reduced by 25% compared to
predecessor models. Despite this decrease in size, an
Expansion Slot is provided in the base station for
applications in future upgrades.
●
High-Performance Viewfinders
A range of high-performance viewfinders are available for
the studio and portable cameras.

The 7-inch monochrome and color viewfinders attach to
the camera with a mechanism allowing easy panning and
tilting for the viewfinder. As the height of the mechanism
is changed to permit more tilt range, the front to rear
position remains unchanged minimizing the effect to the
overall camera balance.
The 2-inch viewfinder for the HK-388PW provides the
standard viewing size in 4:3 but increases in width to
provide an enlarged viewing size in 16:9, about twice the
screen area as compared to scanning a 1.5-inch viewfinder
in 16:9.
The 6-inch viewfinder for the HK-388P and HK-388PW
includes a cableless, one-touch mount for easy exchange
between tripod and on the shoulder operation.
