Overview
The HDC2000 is a 2/3-type high-definition large-size studio
video camera equipped with CCD for 2,200,000 pixels.
Features
High picture quality and high performance
HDC2000 features a 2/3-type wide progressive IT CCD for
2,200,000 pixels and a signal processing LSI, both newly
developed to help achieve a high level of image quality via
improved S/N, high resolution, and low smear compared to
previous models. A 16-bit AD converter allows for optimal
picture quality and enhanced black reproduction.
Slow motion via 2× speed recording
1080/50i-59.94i and 720/50P-59.94P formats are supported,
as well as 1080/23.98PsF-24PsF-25PsF-29.97PsF and 1080/
50P-59.94P progressive formats, and 1080/100i-119.88i and
720/100P-119.88P slow-motion 2× speed recording formats.
Digital extender function
The central part of the viewfinder picture is digitally magnified
to twice its size.
The digital extender function prevents the decrease in sensitivity
(F-drop) that occurs when the lens extender function is used.
Note
This function does not operate when a 2x slow motion format
is selected.
This function also reduces the resolution of images to one-half.
Aberration correction function
This camera features ALAC 2.0 (Auto Lens Aberration
Compensation).
When an achromatic lens is used, this function reduces
chromatic aberration of magnification automatically.
For details on achromatic lenses, contact a Sony sales
representative or Sony service representative.
Standard 3G optical digital transmission unit
3G optical digital transmission of signals between the camera and
camera control unit (CCU) is included, and allows the following
kinds of video signal transmission and system configurations:
• 1080/50P-59.94P progressive video signal transmission
• Transmission of 2× speed recording signals such as 1080/
100i-119.88i for production of slow-motion video
• Transmission of HD prompter, HD TRUNK, and network
TRUNK signals that utilize empty bands during 1080/50i-60i
and 720/50P-59.94P operation
• Dual camera system for transmitting video signals from two
HDC2000 cameras to two CCUs using just one optical fiber/
multi-cable
• Subcamera system for transmitting video signals from both
an HDC2000 and another subcamera—such as the HDC-
P1—using just one optical fiber/multi-cable and outputting
their signals from one CCU
Various color-reproduction functions
Adaptive-matrix function
This function accurately controls calculation factors for
performing accurate color conversion when shooting. This
makes precise color conversion possible even when shooting
under conditions that would otherwise exceed the color
conversion range of traditional matrix functions, such as under
strong monochromatic blue light sources.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-parameter matrix function, the
camera has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust
the hue and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions
independently. This is quite useful in color matching among
multiple cameras.
Knee saturation
Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in
highlighted areas can be compensated.
This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong
lighting.
Low-key saturation
Saturation in low-key zones can be compensated. Thus,
compensation for color reproduction in all zones is enabled in
combination with matrix color compensation and knee
saturation functions.
Selection of multiple gamma tables
Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables
are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values
enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic range,
which are different from those achieved with conventional
video gamma.
Note
When <CAM MODE> is set to 4K/HDR MODE, only VF
images will be fixed to the ITU-R 709-equivalent gamma.
User gamma
Gamma tables created with CvpFileEditor™ can be saved to
a “Memory Stick”, or registered to HDC2000 from the MSU-
1000/1500 or RCP-1500 series.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function/Natural skin detail
function
Like HDC1000R, this function allows control (emphasis or
suppression) of the detail level for specific hues or chroma
areas in the image by creating a detail gate signal from color
components of your specified hue, such as skin tones. The
detail levels of three kinds of hues can be adjusted
independently at the same time.
HDC2000 features the natural skin detail function, which
allows for adjustment of the detail gate signal, allowing even
more vivid distinction of areas like skin that you want to make
smooth while selectively keeping areas like eyebrows that
don’t require smoothing.

4
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This
allows the thickness of detail signals to be set appropriately for
the subject, thus enabling high-definition image expression.
H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.
White/black limiter
The white and black details can be limited independently.
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal, which
can be added only on images on the viewfinder screen in order
to facilitate focusing in various situations: Functions for
coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the VF detail signal by
adding modulation, and changing the VF detail level according
to the zoom position.
Focus assist indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen provides
a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be easily
determined by observing fluctuation of the level indicator as a
guide.
VF dynamic contrast
The VF contrast signal can be added only to images on the
viewfinder screen, and facilitate focusing in situations with
high brightness areas and low contrast levels.
Numerous viewfinder functions
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern, a safety-zone marker, and a center marker, camera
settings may also be displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Furthermore, there are other indicators arranged above and
below the viewfinder, such as a tally lamp, battery warning
indicator, and a warning indicator to tell you that one or more
settings are other than standard.
Menu-based setting operation function
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items, a safety-
zone marker or center marker, screen size marker, etc. can be
made quickly and easily using setup menus displayed on the
viewfinder screen or an external monitor.
VF operation assignable switch
Assignable switches for operating the viewfinder are located
on the rear panel of the camera. These switches are linked to
viewfinder assignable switches, such as those featured on
HDVF-EL70, and allow for using the camera’s buttons to
perform functions like image zooming within the viewfinder.
PinP function
The return video signal or HD prompter picture can be
displayed on the viewfinder in picture-in-picture mode.
Note
The PinP function cannot be used during stand-alone
operation, and cannot be used with the HD TRUNK FRAME
SYNCHRO function simultaneously.
Wide variety of input/output interfaces
In addition to 3G/HD/SD-SDI output and HD/SD-SDI input,
HDC2000 features a wide variety of input/output interfaces,
including the following:
Network TRUNK function
The network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data
transmission between the camera and CCU at speeds of up to
1 Gbps. This allows for a multitude of new system
configurations, such as connecting several IP transmission
cameras as subcameras.
Note
The network TRUNK transfer rate differs depending on the
video format. Jumbo frames are not supported.
HD TRUNK function
The new HD TRUNK function uses 3G optical transmission to
send HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HD-SDI video
signal) from the HDC2000 to an HDCU2000/2500.
Note
The HD TRUNK function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
HD prompter function
The new HD prompter function on HDC2000 supports sending
HD-SDI-equivalent digital data (not an HD-SDI signal)
separate from the return video signal from an HDCU2000/
2500 to the HDC2000.
Note
The HD prompter function can only be used when a single
format is selected and the network TRUNK function is set to
OFF.
User-friendly operation
Unit-body with low center of gravity
Featuring a stylish exterior with a low overall height, the
viewfinder’s position is kept as low as possible, bringing it
closer to the optical axis of the lens.
Assignable switches
The camera has a switch to which various functions can be
assigned on the rear panel. You can activate your desired
function, such as electronic color-temperature conversion,
instantly when shooting by assigning it to the switch in
advance.
USB connector
Connect a USB drive to the USB connector to save and load
setup menu setting data.
Function for prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, this shuts off the power
supply from the connected Camera Control Unit.

Attaching Accessories
Mounting the Camera to the Tripod
Several types of tripods are available. Select an appropriate
tripod according to the type of lens to be used, and mount the
camera to the tripod as described below. For details, refer to
the instruction manual of the tripod.
For detailed information on choosing an appropriate tripod for
different camera and lens combinations, contact a Sony
service representative, a Sony representative or a tripod
manufacturer. The instructions below give an example of just
one type of attachment. Before attaching, choose a tripod cam
plate appropriate for your lens type and lens weight.
Firmly attach the V-wedge shoe to the camera, and mount the
camera to the tripod securely. Otherwise the camera may fall
down.
1Attach the V-wedge shoe (supplied with the tripod) to
the bottom of the camera with the two screws.
The position where the shoe should be attached is
decided considering the balance of the weight of the
camera and lens.
2Check that the pan-lock and tilt-lock levers of the
tripod are securely locked.
3Mount the camera to the tripod holding it by the
handles on each side.
4Lock the camera to the tripod with the stopper on the
