Overview
This unit is a new-generation multi-format HD camera that
supports the 1080i format.
It uses a new-generation /-inch .-megapixel IT-CCD
[190 (H)

1080 (V)] imaging device. This newly developed
CCD employs leading-edge processes and embodies a
fresh look taken at the on-chip lens and CCD structure
to improve the sensitivity, smear and dynamic range by
a significant margin over previous CCDs. Furthermore,
Panasonic’s horizontal single-line readout CCD and
high-precision signal processing combine to achieve pixel
shifting and a dramatic reduction in moire within the band.
Another salient feature is the newly developed digital signal
processor LSI chip which is mounted in the camera head
and supports 14-bit A/D conversion: This chip processes
the gamma, knee, detail, matrix and other process signals,
delivers the kind of multi-functionality, high quality and
high stability that digital technology alone can provide, and
improves the operating ease.
The 14-bit A/D converter is instrumental in creating a
stable wide dynamic circuit with a high signal-to-noise ratio
from the dark area all the way to the highlights. Using the
dynamic range stretch (DRS) function which adjusts the
gamma correction optimally in real time, both the dark areas
and light areas can now be reproduced with startling clarity.
The camera head with its new design features an overall
smaller size and lower profile that neatly taken into
consideration the performance of buildup operations, and
the fact that it is now possible to connect it with the buildup
unit without the need to hook up any cables has resulted in a
significant improvement in both operability and applicability.
The amount of heat generated by the camera has also been
slashed as a result of adopting a low-power-consumption
design for the new circuits and a heat-dissipation design for
the new chassis.
When this Multi-Format Camera is connected to a CCU
(AK-HCU550, optional accessory), not only can HD signals
be input and output but SD signals (D1, VBS) can be output
and RET/PROMPT signals can be input as well.
The iris, pedestal, gain and other camera adjustments can
be carried out by remote control using a unit such as the
ROP (AK-HRP91 or AK-HRP95) or MSU (AK-MSU95)
available as optional accessories.
