Overview
Overview
The HDC1500R, HDC1550R, HDC1400R, and
HDC1450R are 2/3-type high-definition portable video
cameras equipped with CCD for 2,200,000 pixels. They
incorporate the latest pickup elements and digital signal-
processing LSI to yield higher picture quality and higher
stability in image creation while maintaining conventional
popular functions and operability.
The differences among the models are shown below:
Features
High picture quality and high performance
The new 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD for 2,200,000 pixels
conforms to driving formats up to 1080/59.94P, achieving
high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the 14-bit A/D
converter and a unique signal-processing LSI provide
picture quality of optimal grade.
Multiple formats
The HDC1500R covers ten video formats, HDC1550R
covers eight video formats, and HDC1400R and
HDC1450R covers two video formats. With the
HDC1500R, signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P from
the camera head is also possible via the Dual Link
interface.
Newly designed integrated unit with low
center of gravity
A stylish appearance with low-slung design has been
adopted. When used in combination with the HDLA1500-
series Large Lens Adaptor, it permits the viewfinder to be
mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder position
closer to the optical axis of the lens.
Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting
A new handle design has been adopted. A slight protrusion
of the upper front part of the handle enables stable holding
of the camera while you are shooting, by holding the front
part of the handle.
Furthermore, the movable range of a front-rear slide
mechanism for the viewfinder attachment has been
widened. Any difference in weight balance caused by
having a different lens attached can be counteracted by
adjusting the viewfinder attachment position, in
combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This
provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on
your shoulder.
