Excellent Picture Quality
Digital Extender Function
The Digital Extender function expands the size of the
image by a factor of two in the center of the image
sensor’s captured image. This function works without a
decrease in sensitivity, such as an F-number drop, which
typically occurs when using conventional optical extender
functions.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation 2 (ALAC2)
Function
The ALAC2 function automatically reduces lens chromatic
aberration by both horizontal and vertical compensation
when a lens that supports the ALAC2 function is attached.
Versatile Camera Interfaces
HSC Series cameras provide a wide range of inputs and
outputs via the connector panel, including HD-SDI output,
SD-SDI output, VF signal, return signal, and SDI Prompter
signal. Moreover, an intercom channel (ENG/PROD) is also
provided.
Digital Triax Operation
HSC-300R and HSC-100R cameras utilize a very high-
quality digital triax system that expands operability in field
applications, as well as in studio production. This digital
triax system can be integrated into conventional triax-
based infrastructures, enabling an easy upgrade from
existing systems. The latest digital triax transmission
system offers long cable runs of up to 1,800 m (5,905
feet)*

for the HSC-300R and up to 1,200 m (3,937 feet)*
2
for the HSC-100R, via φ14.5 mm cable between the camera
and the CCU.
*2 The maximum cable length depends on the camera system
configuration, lens type, and the number of cable connections.
Optical Fiber Operation
HSC-300RF and HSC-100RF cameras incorporate a optical
fiber transmission system as standard which enables
signal transmission over a long distance. The developed
optical fiber transmission system offers long cable runs of
up to 2000 m (6562 feet)*

between the camera and the
CCU.

configuration, lens type, and the number of cable connections.
Large Lens Operation
In addition, the highly versatile HDLA-1500, HDLA-1505 and
HDLA-1507 large Lens Adaptors are also compatible with
these cameras. These adaptors allow the HSC-300R and
HSC-300RF to be used for many different production
applications, and enable users to choose the optimum
viewfinder for each shooting condition. This capability
makes the HSC-300R and HSC-300RF the most flexible
portable cameras in their class.
Installing the HDLA-1500/1505/1507 Large Lens
Adaptor is very simple and eliminates time-consuming
adjustments such as lens centering
or additional wiring.
Smart Flexibility
Multi-format Operation
Users can choose from a wide range of capturing modes,
including 1080/29.97PsF*
1
and 1080/25PsF*
1
as well as
1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 720/50p, 720/59.94p, 576/50i, and
480/59.94i.
*1 Optional HZC-PSF3 software is required.
Sophisticated 2/3-inch CCD
HSC Series cameras are equipped with field-proven
2/3-inch-type full-resolution 1920 x 1080 CCDs. Due to
Sony’s advanced sensor technologies, the CCD imager
offers a high sensitivity of F10 for 59.94 Hz and F11 for
50 Hz with a remarkable signal-
to-noise ratio (S/N) of -60 dB
(HD) for high-quality pictures in
all types of demanding shooting
environments.
High-quality 16-bit A/D Conversion and DSP LSI
These cameras also incorporate a high-performance 16-bit
A/D converter which enables captured images to be
processed with maximum precision. Also, the Auto Lens
Aberration Compensation function can optimize lens
performance to provide stunning
picture quality.
