HDCAM Camcorder
The HDW-700A HD Camcorder combines a HD color video
camera, of which effective picture elements 1920(H) x
1080(V) and which uses 2/3-inch FIT CCD imagers with
2,200,000 pixels with an HDCAM portable video cassette
recorder. Its excellent portability and dust and drip-proof
construction makes it ideal as a camcorder for ENG, EFP
and the other purposes. The introduction of a new method
of processing HD digital signal improves the image quality
even further and simplifies setup operations.
•Superb picture quality of HDCAM format in the VTR
section •2/3-inch, 2,200,000 pixels of FIT CCDs in the
camera section provide an high-resolution 16:9 pictures
•Compact, lightweight and ergonomic body design suitable
for various applications •Existing 2/3-inch lens can be used
•Digital signal processing improves picture quality, stability
and reliability •A setup card system can memorize various
parameter settings and instant recall •Electronic shutter
such as ECS and S-EVS provides blur-free images
•A simple switch operation enables automatic adjustment
of black set, black balance and white balance •Various
warning indicator •Dual filter wheels of Neutral density and
Color temperature control

HDCAM Camcorder
The HDW-F900 HD Camcorder combines a 3CCD HD
color video camera, of which effective picture elements
1920(H) x 1080(V) with an HDCAM portable video cassette
recorder. Together with its excellent picture quality, 12-bit
A/D converter and advanced digital signal processor, this
camcorder makes it ideal as a camcorder for electronic
cinematography purposes. The introduction of a new
method of processing HD digital signal improves the image
quality even further and simplifies setup operations.
•Superb picture quality of HDCAM format in the VTR
section, which enables multi-format recording of
23.976/24/25/29.97/30 progressive and 50/59.94/60
interlace at the resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels •Supports
1080/24PsF format which is defined as ITU-R.BT709-3
HDTV Standards for Production and International
Programme Exchange •2/3-inch, 2,200,000 pixels of FIT
CCDs in the camera section provide high-resolution 16:9
pictures •Compact, lightweight and robust body design for
various cinematography accessories to be attached •Digital
signal processing improves picture quality, stability and
reliability •Memory Stick™ setup system can memorize
various parameter settings and provides instant recall
•Electronic shutter such as ECS and S-EVS provides blur-
free images •A simple switch operation enables automatic
adjustment of black set, black balance and white balance
•Various warning indicators •Dual filter wheels for Neutral
density and Color temperature control •Assignable buttons

storage system, ranging from TBytes to PBytes, with
PetaSite‘ – a tape robotic library for mass data storge. •An
ability to build-up a distributed environment between the
server and the client. •A flexible data storage policy, defined
by the System Administrator. •Transparency of use. The user
is not aware of file migration or the type of storage media.
•Supporting for various UNIX operating systems such as
Solaris, Digital-UNIX, AIX, and HP-UX (scheduled).
•Operational maintenance (such as database and bitfile
backup, and tape compaction) is almost fully automatic.
•Data backup to protect against accidents. PetaServe
includes PetaBack, an automated system for backing up files
in the event of hard disk crash. •A Direct Device Access
function. This DDA function takes full advantage of the high-
speed performance of DTF. Data can be called directly from
tapes without passing via the PetaServe hard disk.

BKP-7932
Camera Adaptor Modification Unit
•The BKP-7932 is a modification kit used to upgrade the
BVP-370 Series camera systems to work with the
HDC-700,BVP-900/700/500 Series. It consists of one IF-602
board and one connector assembly. By slotting the IF-602
into the CNU-700 and installing the connector assembly on
its rear panel, up to six CCU-370/355/350/9000 and DCU-
371/371WS Series CCUs can be connected to the CNU-700.
So that the BVP-370 Series cameras can be controlled from
the MSU-700 via the CNU-700.

BKP-7933
S-Bus interface board for the CNU-700
•Installing the BKP-7933 with CNU-700, Sony routing

BKP-590
Camera Adaptor Modification Unit
The BKP-590 is an optional board kit used to modify the CA-
57A/57AP for connection to the camera control system of the
BVP-900/500 Series. It consists of MD, TR, IF boards, and
MPX filter. In place of the corresponding boards and filter in
the CA-57A/57AP with the BKP-590, the BVP-
7A/70IS/90/T7A/T70 series can integrated into the camera
control system of the HDC-700A/BVP-900/500 Series.

BKP-5972
Serial Digital Interface Output Board
•By slotting the BKP-5972 board into the CCU-550A/550AP,
two SDI outputs are available for direct connection to other
digital equipment with an SDI interface •With an SDI
connection to a Digital VTR, such as the DVW-250/250P, the
digital component video signal from the CCU, together with
its two digital audio channels, are carried over a single BNC
cable

BKP-5973
Control Panel
•The BKP-5973 Control Panel fits on the front of the
CCU-550A/550AP and provides rapid, finger-tip access to
the main operational controls •Up to three Scene Files, which
are used to store and recall key operational control
parameters, are available on the BKP-5973 and white
balance for two different color temperature shooting
conditions can be stored in memory for later recall •By using
CAMERAS

the on-screen menu control and three rotary switches on the

BKP-5973, a wide range of set-up parameters can be
adjusted

BKP-5974
DC Power Unit
The supplied AC power unit can be removed from the
CCU-550A/550AP and replaced with the BKP-5974 DC
Power Unit, allowing operation from a DC 12V supply. This
DC operation function is very useful in extending flexibility in

BVX-D10 (NTSC, 525/60, PAL, 625/50)

Digital Color Corrector
•The BVX-D10 is designed to handle either 4:2:2
component digital, NTSC or PAL composite digital video
depending on the optional board installed: BKX-101C,
BKX-101, or BKX-101P. With the BKX-101C, operation in
both 525/60 and 625/50 systems is possible.
BKX-101C: 4:2:2 component digital video I/O
BKX-101: NTSC composite digital video I/O
BKX-101P: PAL composite digital video I/O
•Both serial and parallel digital video inputs/outputs are
available for each optional I/O board. (The input signal can
be selected—serial or parallel.) •The BVX-D10 will operate
on 13.5MHz for component digital input, 17.734MHz for PAL
composite digital input, and 14.318MHz for NTSC composite
digital input •Precise Gain, Black and Gamma corrections of
R/G/B can be done individually using the BVR-D11 or BVR-
D10 optional remote control units •In addition to R/G/B color
correction, adjustments of Luminance Gain, Chroma Gain,
Black Level, Hue and Output Gain are possible •When used
with the optional remote control unit BVR-D11, it is possible
to store and recall up to ninety-nine setting data in the
BVX-D10’s data memories •A maximum of four
BVX-D10’s can be controlled by one BVR-D11.
(The BVR-D10 controls one BVX-D10.) •Interface with the
BVE-9100 Sony editing controller allows each setting data of
the BVX-D10 to be stored and recalled in and from the Edit
Decision List (EDL) in the BVE-9100
