Sony HDW-750P Progressive mode This camcorder can operate in either 50
interlace or 25 Progressive (PsF) mode. This allows true acquisition in
progressive mode, to offer identical motion portrayal as film.
HDCAM
recording With well over 6,000
HDCAM units sold worldwide, the
intelligent and adaptive HDCAM recording system offers the most reliable and
cost effective system ever for acquisition, post production and delivery of
programmes for TV, theatre and digital distribution.
Advanced Digital
Signal Processing with 10 bit A/D converter This ensures superb picture
quality with excellent tonal reproduction, however with only 34 watts
consumption, the battery life will not be sacrificed.
HD-SDI output is
standard No adapter is needed to monitor your pictures at the highest
quality level or to have external recording directly from the
camera.
Optional downconverter board The HKDW-702/1 offers
simultaneous output of either SDI or composite PAL on a dedicated BNC connector,
in addition to the HD-SDI output. Furthermore, the 'test out' facility offers a
PAL output with all the viewfinder characters inserted if you so
wish.
Optional picture cache board The HKDW-703/1 allows up to
8 seconds of sound and picture to be recorded in solid state memory, so that you
can catch action up to 8 seconds before you press the record button. After
pressing the record button again to stop recording, the cache memory is emptied
onto tape. Pressing record again at any time up to the memory being empty (tally
light is flashing) ensures seamless recording with no interruption. Recommended
for programmes with children and animals.
Time lapse and animation
recording Another feature of the cache board is time lapse. In manual
mode, 1 to 8 frames are recorded every time the record button is pressed. In
auto mode, simply set the overall time to be recorded (e.g. 10 minutes) and the
duration on tape at normal playback speed e.g. 10 seconds (Please note that
there are a few prohibited combinations). Then the camcorder calculates how
often to record a frame. All this is done into the cache memory until it is
full, whereupon it is dumped to tape. This is a huge saving on mechanical wear
to the recording mechanism of the camcorder.
Features
Memory stick Allows storage of up to
100 user files and 100 scene files. A user file stores camera operating
parameters (e.g. assignable switch parameters). A scene file stores image
related parameters (white balance, etc). 5 scene files are stored in the
camcorder itself. This data file facility also allows easy software upgrades,
and can be used to store UMID data such as good shot markers, GPS
data.
Turbo gain Maximum 42dB gain allows shooting to 0.15
lux.
In 25P mode, and with no shutter this equates to an ISO of around
77,000!
Lightweight At only 5.4 Kg (11 pounds 15 ounces)
including battery, tape, viewfinder and microphone this is a very lightweight
and compact model particularly suitable for hand-held operation.
Slot
in wireless receiver WRR-855 A/B slots in so the external dimensions
don�t change. Now includes RF level indicator in the V/F (only with Sony
WRR)
Two assignable buttons One is a push button, the other a
slide switch to allow instant access to frequently used functions. Push button:
OFF, front mic mono/stereo, loop
rec on/off, test out character on/off, marker
on/off, EZ focus on/off, re-take,
ATW, return video, lens return,
rec switch,
turbo switch Slide switch: off, front mic mono/stereo, loop

EZ focus This
allows easy focussing, by using the shutter to adjust the level. If you have a
fully automatic lens, then EZ focus opens up the iris to fully open, and the
shutter is changed to achieve good exposure. This allows easy focus checks.
After 10 seconds, or if you press the button again, the iris and shutter return
to normal
Auto trace white The
ATW function makes it possible
to automatically adjust the white balance as lighting conditions change. This
function is useful when shooting in rapidly changing lighting conditions (for
example, when moving from an indoor to an outdoor location). Conventional Auto
white balance is also available both instead of and in addition to ATW
operation. White B preset position is assigned for ATW operation by selecting
either ATW or
AWB B in the VF menu
Intelligent light shoe In
Auto mode, on/off of the light is synchronised with the operation of the REC
button. Max 50 W.
Dual Optical Filter Wheels Allows the
following to be selected: ND: 1:CLEAR
2:1/4ND 3:1/16ND 4:1/64ND CC:
A:CROSS B:3200K C:4300K D:6300K
Stereo audio
monitoring A 5 pin XLR allows monitoring of audio channels 1 and 2, or 3
and 4 (switch selectable)
TruEye processing Virtually
eliminates hue distortion, particularly obvious in extreme lighting conditions,
that results from conventional RGB analogue or digital processing. By processing
video signal data at three levels - brightness, hue and saturation - similar to
how the human eye works, the TruEye process assists in the reproduction of
natural skin tones by eliminating the hue factor distortion.
Multi
matrix This allows any colour to be grabbed, and its hue and saturation
to be altered within a range of around 20 degrees, and the saturation almost to
nil. In this way many "in camera" effects can be made, and cameras matched to
each other
Three channel skin tone detection Its saturation,
hue phase and width select the colour for which detail level is controlled. The
use of skin detail is not limited to human skin colour. It can be used to
independently control the level of detail applied to any object with any
colour
Dial in colour temperature You can now programme the
camera to a certain colour temperature, and then light to that, rather than
using preset positions or auto white balance with gels to offset the balance.
Also added is an offset function to slightly warm or cool a picture irrespective
of the auto white setting, since the offset is removed before auto white and
then added back in again when auto white is completed.
Gamma
curves As well as standard gamma curves, film gamma curves are included
as standard to create the look that you want
Black gamma Can
bring out detail in dark areas, but won�t affect the mid tones. As gamma is a
non-linear function, it may slightly change the saturation of the dark areas.
You can select the range of levels it will affect
Y black
gamma Useful to pull out detail in the low lights, but keep black areas
black. Won�t affect the colour of the dark areas. You can set the luminance
level at which the gamma correction becomes effective
Adaptive
knee As part of the DCC (dynamic contrast control) this feature can be
used to control individual highlights in a picture, by varying the knee point
after measuring the level in all areas of the picture. Best used in still
pictures
Knee saturation Works together with
TruEye to regain
natural saturation at the knee point, where it would normally be
desaturated
Tele-File Tele-File. Built-in writer allows record
start marks to be stored on a Tele-File label. This is a label that is stuck on
the cassette and contains a memory chip. By non-contact recording and playback,
these can then be read instantaneously by an HDW-F500, HDW-2000 series, hand
held portable reader MLU-200, or MLU-100A for PC connection. In the case of the
VTR, details are transferred to the cue menu, allowing easy shot
selection
Cameraman programmable menu system This allows every
cameraman to make their own menu structure, by copying any single menu item from
any other page and pasting it into their own page, which can then be stored on a
memory stick
