Camera Features
· High Density CCDs
High-performance 520,000-pixel(NTSC) for HL-45AW and 600,000-pixel(PAL) for HL-45AW, IT CCD image sensors provide exceptional smear characteristics. A horizontal resolution of 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 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-45AW delivers a dynamic range of 600%. Even for high contrast subjects, video with proper contrast can be produced.
· Sensitivity of f11(HL-45AW)
A sensitivity of 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-45AW(switchable between 4:3 and 16:9) is 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-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.
More Flexibility for High Image Quality
· Memory Card
The HL-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.
· 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 to 1/200 (PAL) of a second.
· +36dB Gain
A +36dB gain allows for minimum illumination of 0.5(HL-45AW) lx (f1.4). Because sensitivity is enhanced electronically, loss of resolution is minimized.
· Filter
The HL-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-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.
· 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 front and rear, as well as right and left angle. |
