Sony HDW-750P Camcorder

Since first appearing on the market, the HDW-750P camcorder has become associated with the very best in quality programming, helping establish HDCAM as the preferred High Definition format worldwide.

The HDW-750P puts all the advantages of shooting High Definition at 25P/50i into the hands of the programme maker, maximising creative opportunities and control without sacrificing portability or battery life. It is an extremely compact and lightweight design, with a robust and reliable construction. Adopting a 2.2 million-pixel FIT CCD, and Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP), the camcorder ensures superb picture quality and low-power consumption.

The HDW-750P makes it easier than ever to capture pictures that will satisfy the most exacting producer. By shooting 25 frames per second in progressive scan mode (25P), your shots will share "filmic" motion portrayal that can add a subjective richness to improve both the quality and marketability of your production. And new for 2005/6 is a new version of camcorder software: Version 2. This boosts the latitude of the camcorder to give an even more film-like image, allowing more detail to be seen in the highlight and lowlight areas of the picture.

With the HDW-750P, you can also shoot 50 fields per second interlaced (50i) as a natural partner to the PAL world. The choice is yours.

So whether you're post producing in Standard Definition and want to maximise image quality up-front, or following an end-to-end HD 25P workflow, the HDW-750P is the natural affordable choice to take you into the exciting world of High Definition.

HDW-750P Key Features:

HAD sensor technology
The HDW-750P uses Power HAD sensor technology incorporating the latest FIT sensor and on-chip lens structure. Three 2/3-inch FIT CCDs each with 2.2 million-pixels provide excellent imaging quality, and are based upon the 1920 x 1080 CIF (Common Interchange Format).

Choice of Progressive or Interlace recording
Either 50 interlace or 25 Progressive (PsF) mode can be selected, for "TV look" (interlace) or "Film look" (progressive) pictures.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing
ADSP technology with 10 bit A/D conversion ensures excellent tonal reproduction, and keeps power consumption down to 34 Watts to guarantee long battery life.

Ultimate sensitivity
The HDW-750P has a sensitivity of f10 at 2000 Lux. When fitted with an optional HKDW-705 Slow Shutter board, the camcorder can slow its shutter speed to a 64 frame period. This dramatically increases sensitivity and allows pictures to be shot at a minimum illumination of 0.003 Lux. This allows camera operators to shoot images in extremely dark environments. The Slow Shutter board also allows motion blur to be used as a creative tool during acquisition.

Even better looking, film-like images with Version 2 software
New Version 2 software for the HDW-750P offers a significant boost in the latitude of the camcorder to give a more film-like dynamic transfer characteristic. This allows far more detail to be seen in the highlight and lowlight areas of the image.

Long record duration onto HDCAM cassettes
The HDW-750P records up to 48 minutes onto a small HDCAM tape. This exceeds the record duration of many standard definition camcorders.

TruEye Processing
TruEye virtually eliminates hue distortion, especially in extreme lighting conditions. TruEye processes videa data in a similar way to the human eye - processing brightness, hue and saturation. This significantly improves the reproduction of natural skin tones.

Multi Matrix
Multi Matrix provides further in-camera creative control and can be used to match colourimetry during multiple camcorder shoots. It is also effective for manipulating the hue and saturation of specific selected colours within a scene. One example would be to adjust the hue and saturation of a flower petal without changing other colours within the picture.

Auto Trace White
Auto Trace White (ATW) is a feature that automatically adjusts the white balance as lighting conditions change. This is ideal 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.

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.

Picture Cache recording
It's always annoying to miss a great shot, especially when shooting wildlife footage. With the HDW-750P you have an additional chance to capture the action even if it occurred before you started recording. An optional HKDW-703/1 can be installed into the camcorder to provide picture cache recording. This allows you to capture up to 8 seconds of material immediately before you press the record button.

Time Lapse
The HKDW-703/1 also provides Time Lapse Recording. In MANUAL mode, 1 to 8 frames are recorded each time the REC button is pressed. In AUTO mode, the overall recording time is set (e.g. 10 minutes) along with the playback time on tape (e.g. 10 seconds). Using the picture cache to achieve Time Lapse reduces the mechanical wear to the record mechanism.
