HDC-P1
Three 2/3-inch Power HAD FX CCD sensors full HD compact system camera with
HD-SDI output
Overview
Uncompromising, Full-HD performance from compact camera
There is increasing demand for small “Box”-type or “Point-Of -View” cameras
with the flexibility to shoot from almost anywhere while still delivering
highest quality fullHD pictures for use standalone or in seamless integration
with content from full-size cameras. The HDC-P1 delivers unprecedented picture
quality thanks to its full use of the
technologies from Sony’s flagship HDC Series studio cameras. Three 2/3″-inch
type Power HAD FX CCDs offer a sensitivity of F11 at 1080/50i or F10 at
1080/59.94i. A
wide range of formats are supported, including 720/50P, 59.94P, and 1080
50/59.94P, 23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, and 29.97PsF capabilities available via
optional software
upgrades. Uncompromising, Full-HD performance from compact camera
It is also the first camera of its class to feature dual ND/CC filters, both
of which are servo controlled, and its ultra-narrow, 86mm body makes it ideal
for applications such as 3D. Other applications include a range of unmanned
and point-of-view HD applications, such as stadiums, conference rooms and
schools. It can also be used as a “companion” camera in automated broadcast
studios. Compromise-free HD Picture Quality Compromise-free HD Picture Quality
Features
Despite its diminutive dimensions, the HDC-P1 delivers outstanding quality,
full-HD images. Three 2/3-inch type full HD “Power HAD FX” CCDs offer a
sensitivity of F11 at 1080 50i and a high signal-to-noise ratio of -58 dB.

constrained and awkward areas such as on a crane head or helicopter. The
supplied tally unit can be easily detached from the camera body, minimizing
the camera size to be fitted in, for example, a pan/tilt head or an underwater
housing.
