HDW-750PC HDW-750P HDW-730S Digital Camcorder www.sonybiz.net/hdcam TM.
A worldwide standard for digital production 2.
3 With the first High Definition (HD) transmissions already launched in Europe, broadcasters and programme makers are rushing to embrace the business opportunities presented by better-looking, more seductive pictures.
HAD Sensor Technology The HDW-750P uses Power HAD™ CCDs incorporating the latest FIT sensor and on-chip lens structure. The 2/3-inch 2.2 million pixel sensors have a dramatically improved light collecting capability, and are based upon the 1920 x 1080 CIF (Common Interchange Format).
10-bit A/D and Advanced Digital Signal Processor Both the HDW-730S and the HDW-750P use 10-bit A/D conversion and Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP).
6 Two Assignable Buttons You can assign two frequently-used functions to these buttons. Dual Earphone Output The HDW-750P and HDW-730S are equipped with two earphone outputs.
7 Tally Lamp A Tally Lamp is included in the connector panel of the camcorder body. Slot-in Wireless Microphone Receiver (Built-in UHF Synthesizer Receiver Unit) The optional WRR-855B Wireless Microph.
8 Cassette Loading Cassette loading is fast, simple and reliable, with a cassette change taking less than 5 seconds*. The loading mechanism is robust and vertical cassette loading is used to keep dust and rain out. This also helps prevent drum rotation noise from being picked up by the microphone.
9 Safe Area Markers To allow for individual production requirements, the HDW-750P/730S provides safe-area markers for any aspect ratio. Lens Mount The B-4 mount ring of the HDW-750P/730S is strong enough to support the heaviest of lenses.
10 Menu-driven set up that enables creative image making in the studio or field has been widely accepted. To help this creative process, we have made it very easy to customise the settings of many image parameters, and then digitally save these settings.
11 Colour Balance Consistent scene-by-scene colour balance is widely accept- ed as one of the key settings during production. There are a number of ways of setting this when working with an HDW-750P/730S camcorder. By using Auto White (and Black) balance, the HDW-750P/730S gives an accurate overall colour balance.
12 Contrast Range The HDW-750P/730S can handle a very wide contrast range. A number of useful features are readily available to aid the operator to more precisely reproduce any given scene. Creative possibilities are offered by modifying “gamma s et t in g s” , offering a great advantage to achieving a desired ‘look’.
13 Highlight Handling Sony Advanced TruEye™ processing allows much improved highlight handling, with faithful colour reproduction. Increased Dynamic Range (HDW-730S and HDW-750P with version 2 software only) Version 2 software offers a significant boost in the latitude of the camcorder to give a more film-like dynamic transfer characteristic.
Triple Skin Tone Detail control Skin Tone Detail allows control of image enhancement within user specified colour tones. The HDW-750P/730S camcorder allows enhancement to be set independently for up to three distinct colour/or hue ranges. The conventional use of Skin Tone Detail correction is to reduce the image enhancement in areas of skin tone.
Since the early days of film and television, meta-data such as shot number, slate information and other pro- duction notes has been used increasingly during the production process. While much of this data has been generated and stored on paper, the use of computers for storage and management of meta-data has grown significantly.
HDW-750P/730S Menu HDW-2000 Series time code list Tele-File ™ System The Sony Tele-File system stores and recalls various types of production data, such as shot data and shot marks, onto and from an optional cassette label with a built-in memory IC.
Slow Shutter Board (Optional) The optional HKDW-705 Slow Shutter Board enhances the operational and creative versatility of the HDW-750P/730S camcorder in both ENG and EFP applications. With the HKDW-705, the HDW-750P/730S can slow its shutter speed down to a 64-frame period*.
* Viewable area measured diagonally **The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels (at most 0.01%) may be “stuck” constantly on or constantly off.
