Sony HDC-3300 Full HD Slow Motion Camera

The HDC-3300R captures full-resolution 1920 x 1080 High Definition images at an amazing three times the normal frame rate. The CCU connects to the camera via optical fibre with digital data for perfect HD images over runs of up to 2500 metres.

Sony HDC-3300 Full HD Slow Motion Camera

Features

The ultimate in High Definition Slow-Motion capture

The HDC-3300R Super Motion system allows the viewer to analyse fast moving action at one third of the normal speed, but with the enhanced resolution of HD video for astonishing detail. Even better than being there.

HDC Family Member

The Super Motion system uses the same Fibre Optic connection and system infrastructure as the existing HDC range for seamless integration in a multi-camera studio or OB vehicles and for maximum versatility. The camera is based on the same digital processing architecture, including 14bit A/D conversion for state of the art performance.

Simultaneous normal speed and Slow-Motion operation

The HDC-3300R can be used for real-time operation and Super Motion capture at the same time. This is simpler, less expensive and more user friendly than a two camera solution, especially for Sports and Outside Broadcast applications.

Ergonomic Design

The design of the HDC-3300R is based on over two decades of Sony experience in manufacturing broadcast video cameras and camcorders, and provides a high level of operability. All control switches and connectors are in the most logical places and are positioned for optimum functionality and ease of use. The HDC-3300R’s low centre of gravity design allows the operator to carry the camera comfortably on the shoulder. In addition, the shoulder pad of the HDC-3300R can be adjusted either forwards or backwards without using a screwdriver, so the camera can easily be moved to a well-balanced position.

New CCD and DSP provides even greater picture performance

The use of a new, state-of-the-art CCD sensor ensures high quality images even at low light level. The high sensitivity of F9 at 2000 lux, together with a signal-to-noise ratio of 56 dB combine to deliver unprecedented picture quality.

Multi-format operation

The HDC-3300R can operate in a wide variety of capturing modes, including 1080 50/60i, 1080 24/25/30P. Furthermore, the CCD can capture 1080 50/60P images, which can be down sampled to deliver the highest quality 720 50/60P pictures.

Built-in down-convertor in the camera head for stand-alone use

The camera provides two HD SDI outputs and one digitally down-converted SDI or analogue composite output. In addition, viewfinder signals with characters can be output from the SDI output connector, giving camera operators additional convenience. Furthermore, when using 24P operation, the built-in 2-3 pull-down function of the HDC-3300R enables 60i down-converted SD signals to be output on a standard SD monitor -a capability that also minimises the flickers that generally occur on the viewfinder.

Sophisticated large lens adaptor design with one-touch, cable-free docking

The HDLA-1500 large lens adaptor includes a unique mechanism which allows the HDC-3300R to be quickly and easily attached and detached without removing the large lens. No additional cable connections are necessary between the camera and adaptor, thanks to a novel “hot shoe” system.

Transparent digital fibre optic transmission

The HDC-3300R provides a fully digital transmission link to the base station. Using SMPTE standard hybrid fibre/copper cable, this allows completely transparent transmission of full bandwidth video and audio signals over cable length of up to 3000 metres. This ensures optimum quality HD signals can be delivered into any production environment.
