The SK-HD1300E-S3 is a multi-format production high-speed (Super Slow Motion) camera and provides up to three times high speed superior pictures compatible with all slow motion servers in the market and is ideal for demanding live sports’ productions. The Hitachi SK-HD1300 series’ cameras achieve outstanding high sensitivity with no vertical smear.
The SK-HD1300E-S3 is a multi-format portable HDTV studio camera. The new 2.6 million 3 chip 2/3 inch MOS sensors produce outstanding image performance. The camera offers progressive HD images due to Hitachi’s implementation of the latest 3-MOS imaging technology. New achievements in high sensitivity and no vertical smear have been reached as a result.
Each essential part of the Hitachi SK-HD1300E-S3 camera system has its own DSP processor. Specialized DSP processors are used independently for the HDTV camera head, the transmission system and the Camera Control Unit (CCU) processing. The new, power efficient Hitachi’s DSP processors are designed to work with any 2K imaging technology that is in the near future, thus, offering a high R.O.I. (return on investment). An outstanding overall signal-to-noise ratio specification of 62dB is achieved by use of our own low-noise circuit technology. The standard sensitivity is rated at F11@50Hz (SK-HD1300E/-S1) with 2000 lx. Even at high gain, clear images are obtained with little noise. Also high horizontal resolution performance of 1100TVL (Luminance channel) is the pinnacle of picture sharpness and is an attribute to the claim of having the most transparent signal processing path of any Hitachi digital camera manufactured to date.
Modern HDTV lenses can still produce optical distortions. One of these called “lateral chromatic aberration” can be reduced in certain lens models when used with the SK-HD1300E-S3 camera system. The Hitachi function is called RLAC (Real-time Lens Aberration Correction) and it dynamically corrects images using correction data provided by the lens through a digital interface with the camera.
