4.1. The Basic Concept of the new HSC-Series
HSC-300R and -100R are two newly developed HD system cameras based on the
concept of their predecessor models, HSC-300 and HXC-100. Both new R-models
were introduced on IBC 2013 and feature the latest technology for enhanced picture
quality and system flexibility.
Both camera models share exactly the same chassis and specifications but show
some major differences in their operational features. Most important new feature
with this new R-series is the choice between digital triax or digital fibre transmission.
As both models are based on a single-piece design concept, the transmission method
cannot be changed, it is either triax or fibre. Along with the newly designed camera
heads, a newly developed CCU was introduced to the market, HSCU-300R. This
unique CCU model is available in triax and fibre version (and again, like the new
camera heads, is either a digital triax or a fibre version).
The performance and feature set of this new HSC-camera family makes it an ideal
choice for all mainstream broadcast applications, be it in studio or OB van use. The
transmission system (digital triax or fibre) is limited to a bandwidth of 1.5G so that
all major HDTV frame rates can be made available at the output of the HSCU-300R
(1080i, 720P / 1080PsF as an option). Like the predecessor models (HSC-300 and
HXC-100), the new HSC-R series utilizes the advanced LLVC (Low Latency Video
Codec) for triax transmission so that full compatibility to the previous models is
assured.
