HDC-3500

Sony has newly developed a powerful imaging device specifically for the HDC-3500. This offers high sensitivity of F10 (at 1080/59.94p) or F11 (at 1080/50p) and a superior signal-to-noise ratio.

The HDC-3500*1 offers enhanced, excellent picture quality through new cutting-edge technologies. The first of these is a newly developed 4K CMOS imaging device equipped with global shutter technology. And the second is a newly developed dedicated signal processor. In addition, the HDC-3500 can be upgraded with optional software licenses to add required functions such as capturing progressive signals, progressive segmented frame (PsF) signals, and double-speed acquisition for exquisite picture-quality slow motion.

The HDC-3500 is operated through fiber transmission as standard. It also has an exchangeable side panel interface and the HKC-CN50 enhances easy exchangeable operation. To satisfy your varying requirements with the HDC-3500, Sony provides exchangeable outside panels – the HKC-FB30 (for fiber transmission) and the HKC-TR37 (for triax transmission), as well as the HDC-3500H which does not have a transmission function. You can also choose the HDCU-3100 Camera Control Unit for fiber operation and the HDCU-3170 for triax operation.

Both deliver high sensitivity of F12 (at 1080/59.94i) or F13 (at 1080/50i) so you can select your model according to the signal wiring setup – optical fiber or triax – in the expected stadium.

HDC Series Cutting-Edge Technologies

Highly Acclaimed 4K CMOS Sensor with Global Shutter Technology (for the HDC-3500)

Based on Sony's cutting-edge imaging device technology and the latest on-chip lens structure, this 2/3-inch-type 4K CMOS sensor offers high sensitivity of F10 (at 1080/59.94p) and F11 (at 1080/50p) at 2,000 lx and a superior signal-to-noise ratio even without digital noise suppression. In addition, there is a wide variety of available output formats including 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/23.98p*1, 1080/24p*1, 1080/25p*1, 1080/29.97p*1, and 1080/59.94p*2 or 1080/50p*2. These formats are beyond HD picture quality made from 4K capturing images.

Double-speed acquisition for excellent slow-motion picture quality is also available in 1080/119.88i ^2 , 1080/100i ^3 , 720/119.88p ^2 , and 720/100p ^3 modes.

What's more, installing the optional HKCU-UHD30 4K HDR Processor Board to the HDCU-3100 enables the CCU to transmit ultra-high-bit-rate (UHB) signals automatically and output 4K signals (UHD/59.94p or UHD/50p) ^e .

State-Of-The-Art Evolving Digital Signal Processor

The DSP LSI developed for the HDC-3500 supports 1080/59.94p and 1080/50p progressive formats, making full use of the high-clarity images captured by the

CMOS sensor. You can also capture UHD/59.94p or UHD/50p 4K resolution images and achieve high-speed signal processing – the capabilities that are needed most for compact operation.

Optical Fiber Transmission

HDC-3500 and HDC-3100 cameras offer an optical fiber transmission capability as standard, enabling you to shoot in various capturing formats.

These cameras are equipped with an SMPTE-standard optical fiber interface for connecting the associated camera control unit (the HDCU-3100 or HDCU-2000). While achieving exceptional quality, these cameras can also transmit all digital bi-directional video and audio signals, a control line, and a prompter line over extremely long distances.

Next-Generation Digital Triax Transmission

With these newly developed third-generation digital triax-based systems, you can transmit detailed high-quality images over a long distance – up to 1,800 meters (5,904 feet) ^4 with a 14.5 mm triax cable.

*4 Maximum cable length varies with camera system configuration.

Network TRUNK\*5

The network TRUNK function (LAN port) allows for data transmission between the camera and the CCU at up to 1 Gbps. This supports new system configurations that are being used with various IP-based products.

*5. This function can only be used with the IBox system

Servo-Controlled ND and CC Filters ^4

The HDC-3500 is equipped with dual optical filter wheels for ND (neutral density) and CC (color correction) which can be remotely controlled by any remote control panel (RCP) or master setup unit (MSU), as well as directly controlled by the camera head.

*6 The HDC-3100 and HDC-3170 are equipped with a single optical filter wheel for ND.

Compact and Lightweight Camera Body

HDC-3500, HDC-3100, and HDC-3170 cameras incorporate magnesium alloy in their bodies and the HDC-3500 also features carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in its outside panel. With this strong yet lightweight design, these cameras are highly mobile and can be operated even in the toughest shooting conditions.

The HDC Series provides stable handling, owing to a low center of gravity. You can easily adjust the shoulder pad into a well-balanced position without needing to use a screwdriver. Also, a wide viewable area beneath the handle provides you with a broad field of view, ideal for handheld camera operation. In every carefully considered aspect, HDC Series studio cameras offer great ergonomic design to increase ease of use.

Rich Focus Assist Functions

The viewfinder detail function adds dedicated image-enhancing edge signals directly to the viewfinder, helping you to recognize a focusing point. The focus assist indicator displays an indicator for adjustment at the bottom (or another selected position) of the viewfinder frame.

In addition, the HDC-3500 and HDC-3100 are equipped with an advanced focus position meter function; the return switch can also be utilized as the focus position meter with illumination. Three focus positions can be assigned at the RGB switches of the HDLA-1500 Series Large Lens Adaptor, and the same position data can be assigned at the return switches on the camera's intercom panel. These switches can be lit in red, green, blue or others according to the functions.

This is helpful especially when shooting with a wide-viewing angle.

Flexibility with the HDC Series

Easy Transmission Change

The transmission system can be easily changed between fiber (HKC-FB30), triax (HKC-TR37), and wireless (HKC-WL50) transmission by replacing parts assembled in the outside panels ^4 .

In addition, since all replacement connectors are located in the outside panels, camera balance is maintained.

^a The optional HKC-CA3O is required to attach an outside panel.

Superior Operability

Wider area for an easier handle grip

It's easy to grip the handle even with gloves on. And visibility through this area has improved. In addition, the ergonomically designed handle enables stable handling of the camera – use your index finger to tightly hold this part of the camera.

Viewfinder position: easy and stylish to use

The position of the viewfinder can be adjusted with ease. You can slide the viewfinder backward or forward and lock it to set its position with just the positioning lever. Its mounting rods are perfectly retracted into the body in a minimized position. As the rods do not protrude inward, they cannot interfere with your hand when gripping the handle.

Excellent Visibility

Camera numbering using electronic paper (for the HDC-3500)

An industry first, the HDC-3500 camera uses electronic paper (e-ink)-type camera numbers. This numbering changes automatically when the system changes the camera number. In addition, graphics can also be displayed with a number.

Side tally using an LED lamp (for the HDC-3500)

A tally lamp is mounted next to the camera number, improving visibility of tally status from the outside.

User-Friendly Interface

Improved layout of connectors

It's easy to pull BNC connectors out of the rear panel because of the ergonomic layout design.

Simple intercom with earphone terminal

Besides the conventional intercom system, a commercially available earphone (4-pole earphones) can be utilized to input and output the intercom audio signal.
