The
SK
-
HD1300
-
S1
is a high
-
performance
portable HDTV Studio and EFP camera.
With its new developed 2.6 million pixels 3-MOS
sensor, the SK-HD1300-S1 provides outstanding
performance. The camera offers sharper and
cleaner HD images due to Hitachi’s
implementation of the latest digital processing
technology. The camera achieves outstanding high
sensitivity and no vertical smear specification.
Outstanding Features
 The New developed 2.6 million pixels full HD
2/3-inch MOS image sensor provides horizontal
resolution 1100 TVL. Shutter problems(jitter,
skewing effect, flicker and etc.) are not clearly
recognizable in standard production use.
Latest generation Digital technology
The brand new, power efficient Digital Signal
Processor LSI provides very faithful video
image reproduction and quality.
Digital video processing and encoding provide
low interference and high stability.
High sensitivity and Signal to Noise ratio
Low-noise circuit technology provides a signal to
noise ratio of 62dB. Even at high gain, clear
images are obtained with little noise.
The standard sensitivity is rated sensitivity is
F11 at 2000 lx.
In addition, the high gain mode can increase the
gain up to +24 dB to reproduce dar images
with a minimum illumination of 2 lx (F1.4).
The new streamlined body design
The new streamlined camera and adaptor body
design has a low center of gravity for ease of use
on the shoulder. The lightweight camera body is
designed with strong die-cast aluminum
sections that are resistant to minor impacts and
provides soundproofing for motorized filter
turrets and cooling fans. So there is no adverse
effect to camera video signals and the
environment for studio.
Setup card
A small plug-in setup card (SD card) stores the
user setup and Scene File information.
Digital processing improves Image Highlight
Quality
Real-time Lens Aberration Correction ( RLAC ):
Lens chromatic aberration of magnification is
reduced by digital processing with supporting
lenses.
Knee saturation and auto- nee:
The auto nee provides a wide dynamic range
by dynamically compressing the video level
above 100%.
Knee saturation restores color saturation to
scene highlights above 100%.

HDR (High Dynamic Range):
HDR reproduces the high contrast picture which
a conventional TV camera could not provide in a
highlight scene by combination with a HDR
monitor.
Blac Gamma:
Blac Gamma function can control Initial
Gamma gain more finely than conventional
Blac Stretch. Independent Initial Gamma
controls are provided for the Red, Green and
Blue channels providing a fine granularity
control over dar color.
12-Vector and Linear Matrix mas ing:
The 12-vector and linear matrix provide the
user a wide latitude in subject image color
control. The 6-axis linear matrix provides
overall color control and the 12-vector color
corrector provides independent control of the
hue and saturation for each of the three primary
and the three secondary colors.
Preset Mas ing:
Color matrix can be changed to several
broadcast camera standards.
S in tone mas ing:
S in tone mas ing provides “fine” “Painting”
(hue and saturation) of S in tones without
affecting other colors in the scene.
Auto Chroma:
Auto Chroma automatically reduces
over-standard colors in the image caused by
extremely bright and colorful objects such as
emergency vehicle lights or stage lighting
L.E.D’s.
New 3ch s in tone detail:
New S in tone Detail functions allow a
flesh-color based softening of the image to
achieve a much more youthful loo for
on-camera personalities.
Three individual channels exist as well as a
function to automatically detect the hue,
saturation and luminance of the S in tone to be
affected.
Furthermore, the S in tone Detail level can be
adjusted to follow the lens' zoom to avoid
'rubber faces' in wide angle shots while using
the function.
Gray Scale Automatic Setup:
This “through the lens” automatic setup is uses
a standard gray scale chart to automatically
setup gain, gamma, blac and flare thus saving
the video operator time and effort.
Automatic White Shading:
Automatic white shading corrects white vertical
and horizontal shading at the push of a button.
This function provides separate memory of lens’
modulation shading characteristics to optimize
the X1 and X2 lens extender positions.

partial exposure. At shooting fast object, the object image might be to wobble.
Dead pixel
If cosmic rays go through an image sensor, a pixel may have damage, and then a dead pixel will
appear on a screen. In high temperature or high gain, it is easier to see dead pixels than in normal
conditions.
Note Damage by laser
Laser light may do damage to image sensor. When you use laser light, be careful not to irradiate it
