Multi-matrix Function
The Multi-matrix function of the HSC Series allows color
adjustments to be applied over a color range specified by
the operator. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas of
adjustment, where the hue and/or saturation of each area
can be modified. This function is especially useful when
only the hue of certain colors needs to be adjusted for
special-effects work.
Multi-matrix is extremely effective for capturing images
with similar color tone in a system configured with existing
SD cameras or other models of camera. This function
enables the picture from another model of camera to be
easily matched.
Adaptive-matrix Function
This enables ideal color conversion for shooting even
under excessively strong ambient lighting conditions, such
as live shooting under bright monochromatic blue light.
These conditions would typically cause a conventional
matrix function to exceed the color conversion range.
Master White Gain
The Master White Gain function of the HDC Series enables
step-less adjustment of gain levels. This makes it possible
to adjust the gain level more precisely compared to
conventional stepwise adjustment.
HSC Series Creative Versatility
Selection of Multiple Gamma Tables
In addition to artistic and skillful lighting, in-camera
gamma setting plays an important role in dealing with
contrast range and giving a specific “look” to an image. In
order to meet a broad array of customer demands, seven
types of standard-gamma and four types of hyper-gamma
tables are provided.
HyperGamma
HyperGamma is a set of new transfer functions designed
to provide powerful contrast handling by making
maximum use of the capacity and wide dynamic range of
the CCD sensor.
These functions are quickly accessed via the set-up menu,
and camera operators can select one curve from a choice
of four that best suits their needs and conditions. For
example, they can select to enhance natural reproduction
in low-key areas to achieve greater flexibility in wide
dynamic scenes.
