Function-assignable switches

Overview
The HXC-100 is a 2/3-type high-definition portable video
camera equipped with CCD units for 2,200,000 pixels, which
can be used as a standalone camera as well as in a studio in
combination with the HXCU-100 Camera Control Unit.

The camera has buttons to which various functions can be
assigned on the side panel and the rear. You can activate your
desired function, such as electronic color-temperature
conversion, instantly when shooting by assigning it to one of
these buttons in advance.
Buttons on the handle are also available as function
assignable switches.

Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
The camera incorporates the latest image capturing device
and digital signal-processing LSI, and it performs newly
developed digital transmission with the camera control unit
(CCU), thus yielding high picture quality and high stability in
image creation in addition to superior camera functions and
operability.

Features
High picture quality and high performance
The latest 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD units for 2,200,000
pixel achieve high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the
14-bit A/D converter and an original developed signalprocessing LSI provide high picture quality of optimal grade.

Multiple formats
The camera covers 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94P, 1080/50i, and
720/50P.
With its wide-range down-converter, the camera also enables
output of high-quality SD signals (525i/625i) from the camera
and the connected CCU, establishing an optimum camera
system for SD-system operations.

Newly designed integrated unit with low center
of gravity
The camera has stylish appearance with low-slung design.
Even when used in combination with a studio-use viewfinder,
stable operation is achieved, thanks to its low center of gravity.

Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting
A new handle design has been adopted. A slight protrusion of
the upper front part of the handle enables stable holding of the
camera while you are shooting, by holding the front part of the
handle. Furthermore, a slide mechanism is located at the
viewfinder attachment position. Any difference in weight
balance caused by having a different lens attached can be
counteracted by adjusting the viewfinder attachment position,
in combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This
provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on your
shoulder.

Position-adjustable shoulder pad
The position of the shoulder pad can be adjusted for stable
shooting according to the build of the camera operator, the
type of lens in use, or the shooting style.
A low-repulsion shoulder pad (position fixed) is available as an
option. (Part No.: A-8286-346-A)

The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function (ALAC) is
provided with this camera. This automatically reduces
chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens that
supports auto aberration compensation is attached.
For details on lenses supporting auto aberration
compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony
service representative.

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, thickening the VF detail signal, and
automatically compensating 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.

“Memory Stick” 1) operation
The camera is equipped with a “Memory Stick” port, which
enables setup data storage and software upgrading using a
“Memory Stick.”

Various color-reproduction 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.

Multimatrix color correction
In addition to the standard 6-axis 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.

Overview

Knee saturation

Versatile choices of viewfinders

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.

Multiformat monochrome CRT viewfinders, HDVF-200 (2type) and HDVF-550 (5-type) can be selected for use in studio
and portable systems.
Color LCD viewfinders, HDVF-C35W (3.5-type), HDVFC730W (6.3-type), and HDVF-C950W (9-type), are also
selectable to cover various applications.

Low key saturation
Hue and chroma 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.

Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from
the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function
This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of the
detail level for just a certain hue or chroma area in the image,
by creating a detail gate signal from color components of your
specified hue, such as skin tones.

Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This
allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for the
subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.

H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.

System Configuration
Peripherals and related devices for the camera are shown in
figures.
Note

Production of some of the peripherals and related devices
shown in the figures has been discontinued. For advice on
choosing devices, please contact your Sony dealer or a Sony
sales representative.

available values may be different.

Note

With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be constant,
but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue components
varies with the power supply frequency. This phenomenon is
known as “flicker.” When using the electronic shutter under
these lighting conditions, there are certain cases in which the
flicker is more noticeable. In particular, color flicker is evident
when the power frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power
frequency is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second
will reduce the flicker.

Purpose

USER

This menu can include menu pages selected
from among the OPERATION, PAINT,
MAINTENANCE, FILE, and DIAGNOSIS
menus, for convenience. Changing, adding,
and deleting pages can be performed with the
USER MENU CUSTOMIZE menu.

USER MENU
CUSTOMIZE

This menu allows you to edit the USER menu.
For details on the USER menu, see “Editing
the USER Menu” (page 21).

ALL

This menu permits you to control all items of
the OPERATION menu, PAINT menu,
MAINTENANCE menu, FILE menu, and
DIAGNOSIS menu as a single menu.

OPERATION

This menu contains items for camera operators
to operate the camera. It mainly permits
viewfinder, intercom, and switch settings.

PAINT

This menu contains items for making detailed
image adjustments while using a waveform
monitor to monitor the waveforms output from
the camera. Support of a video engineer is
usually required to use this menu.
Although you can also use an external control
device to set the items on this menu, the menu
is effective when using the camera by itself
outdoors.

MAINTENANCE

This menu contains items for performing
camera maintenance operations, such as
changing the system or setting infrequently
used “paint” items.

FILE

This menu is for performing file operations,
such as writing or clearing the reference file.

DIAGNOSIS

This menu enables you to confirm the selfdiagnostic information.
