3CCD Broadcast Quality Portable Digital Camera

New Horizons And Possibilities
New Horizons And Possibilities
The HL-45A/45AW is a cutting-edge, high-performance digital camera with new-generation ASICs
that support reductions in camera size, weight and power consumption.
High performance is achieved through three IT CCDs that provide an astounding 900(HL-45A),
750(HL-45AW)TV lines, or more, resolution, a modulation depth of 75%(5MHz), a dynamic range
of 600%, a sensitivity of f10(HL-45A), f11(HL-45AW) at 2000 lx and a S/N of 64dB(NTSC),
61dB(PAL). For cost-savings, the HL-45A/45AW connects with existing TA/BS/OCP-40, and
newly developed TA/BS/OCP-45 for wideband triax operation.
The HL-45A/45AW sports a slew of capabilities for leading-edge performance.
For example, a memory card can store operating status to facilitate camera setup.
The camera uses an advanced RGB DTL System to enhance resolution, plus much more, all made
possible through advanced digital signal processing.
3CCD Broadcast Quality Portable Digital Camera

■High Density CCDs
High-performance 520,000-pixel (NTSC), 620,000 (HL-45A), 600,000 (HL-45AW)-
pixel (PAL) IT CCD image sensors provide exceptional smear characteristics. A
horizontal resolution of 900 (HL-45A), 750 (HL-45AW) TV lines, or more, and a
modulation depth of 75% (5MHz) deliver top-notch performance.
■Digital Process
Newly-developed digital processing ICs (ASICs) with 12-bit analog-to digital(A/D)
conversion deliver a high S/N ratio of 64dB (NTSC), 61dB (PAL). Because all the
processing after PRE KNEE is digitized, high image quality with rock-solid stability is
achieved. Because the processes, such as gamma and DTL, are also digitized, video
with a good S/N ratio is maintained during operating conditions.
■Super-V
The Super-V function enhances the vertical resolution by 20% through combination
of the frame store mode and the 1/60 (NTSC), 1/50 (PAL) shutter.
■Color Matrix
A six-axis color linear matrix circuit is incorporated to compensate for optics-related
color reproduction, thereby achieving vivid, true-to-life color tones.
■Dynamic Range
The HL-45A/45AW delivers a dynamic range of 600%. Even for high contrast
subjects, video with proper contrast can be produced.
■Sensitivity of f10(HL-45A), f11(HL-45AW)
A sensitivity of f10 (HL-45A), f11 (HL-45AW) at 2000 lx is realized. A greater depth
of field facilitates simple focusing. In addition, clear images can be acquired even
when the camera is used under poor lighting conditions.
■Lineup for Supporting User Needs
In flexible response to diverse user needs, the HL-45A (a fixed aspect ratio of 4:3)
and the HL-45AW (switchable between 4:3 and 16:9) are available.
■RGB DTL Method
Conventionally, the vertical DTL signal is derived from the G signal alone, so that the
sense of resolution for red and blue subjects was insufficient.This shortcoming is
overcome by the HL-45A/45AW, which produces independent vertical DTL signals
from the respective R, G, and B signals, thereby substantially enhancing the sense of
resolution for red and blue subjects.
■Black Stretch
The Black Stretch function improves the reproduction in shadow areas of a subject
by raising the video level only for low-brightness portions. The stretch level is variable
in 3%, 5%, and 7%.
■DTL Function
Numerous DTL functions are incorporated, such as, Diagonal DTL, Soft DTL, Skin
DTL, as well as variable boost frequency(in 8 steps) and H/V balance.
New Standard for High Image Quality
Digital-Specific Versatile Videography
Normal Black stretch on (7%)

■
Low Center of Gravity
The camera head is designed with a low center of gravity for operator comfort.
The camera head is compact, weighing less than 6 pounds.High-density CCDs are
used, and the power consumption is a low 15W, thanks to newly developed ASICs.
■
Shoulder Pad
A new non-slip material is used for the shoulder pad. Pad position can readily be
adjusted fore and aft, as well as right and left angle.
■
Filter
The HL-45A/45AW has a built-in CC filter
disk. A color temperature conversion filter
can be selected to best match surrounding
illumination conditions.
■
High-Resolution Viewfinder
The HL-45A/45AW comes standard with a
1.5-inch high-resolution viewfinder that
delivers a horizontal resolution of 600TV
lines. This ensures clarity and consistently
high image quality.
■
Menu Switch
Shutter speed and Super-V can be set with a
menu switch located on the switch panel.
Various camera settings can be made on
screen in a menu-driven manner, thereby
substantially improving ease of operation.
More Flexibility for High Image Quality
Design and Functionality
■
Variable Shutter
In addition to six shutter presets, a variable shutter is also employed which can be set
from 1/60.3 to 1/201(NTSC), 1/50.3~1/200(PAL) of a second.
■
+36dB Gain
A +36dB gain allows for minimum illumination of 0.7(HL-45A), 0.5(HL-45AW) lx
(f1.4). Because sensitivity is enhanced electronically, loss of resolution is minimized.
■
Memory Card
The HL-45A/45AW is memory-card-
ready so that camera operating status
can be stored. Thus, camera setup, color
matching and identical DTL settings for
several cameras is greatly simplified
( The SmartMedia with a capacity of
2MB is used for storage).

Quest for Further Improvement in Operability
With
Triax Adaptor
(TA-45)
■
Triax Operation
Triax operation can be achieved by
connecting the existing TA/BS/OCP-40.
Remote control and high-res video
transmission can be implemented.
And also, a newly developed triax system
(TA/BS/OCP-45) is now available.
Moreover, because a 5-inch or 6-inch VF
can be mounted, the HL-45A/45AW can
be configured as a studio camera.
