Features
[Substantial Enhancement in Actual Performance]
- Newly-Developed, High-Performance CCDs
The HC-390 employs newly-developed CCDs with 380,000pixels to offer substantial improvements
in actual performance over the current HC Series, in terms of crisp picture detail, color fidelity, S/N
ratio, and power conservation. Video artifacts such as smear, moire, ringing, and fixed pattern noise
are also reduced.
- SHBA(Super High Band Aperture)
New SHBA technology for boosting resolution and hyper-precision pixel staggering technology work
together to yield a horizontal resolution of 800 lines.
[New Compact, Lightweight, Well-Balanced Design]
- VCR-Dockable through Rear Panel Adaptor
The HC-390 is easily dockable with a variety of VCRs using the appropriate rear panel adaptor.
- Flexibly Designed Shoulder Pad
The shoulder pad is adjustable for angle of tilt and weight balance to fit the shoulder of each camera
operator, so that optimum weight balance can be achieved with the different types of VCR.
Additionally, the non-slip mechanism further improves comfort and confidence in use.
- Ultra-Compact, Lightweight body
The camera head is built into a ultra-compact body, weighing approx. 2kg. Power consumption is
also greatly reduced to about 9.5W for the camera head.
- Simple Design
Ease of use is considerably improved by completely eliminating unneccessary functions; about 50%
of the menu items of its predecessors are eliminated. This promises error-free, stable operation.
[New Features to Facilitate Operation] 
- EV Mode
Access to the EV mode, available on a single switch, offers enhancement to the level of details, type
of detail, and chroma satuaration level depending on the type of VTR used, for crisp, sharp picture
quality during playback.
- Smooth AWB Memory Switching
AWB memory switching can be effected smoothly by the new design. This permits On Air transitions
between different lighting conditions.
- Electronic Color Temperature Correction Circuit
Color temperature conversion is performed electronically to match the ambient lighting conditions.
Color temperatures from 3000'K to 5600'K can be handled, without the need for manipulating the
filter wheel, so that smooth continuous shooting can be achieved both indoors and outdoors.
- 36dB Gain
The HC-390 has a 36dB gain-up osition, permitting use in light levels as low as 1.75 lux. It offers
exceptional performance in coverage of fast-breaking news events under poorly illuminated conditions.
- Initialize Switch
Operating the initialize switch returns the custom preset to the initial default setting. This feature will
prove useful when the camera is to be used by several camera operators or when an unusual preset
needs to be cancelled.
[High Image Quality Inherent in the HC Series]
- Auto Knee
A wide dynamic range, in conjunction with Auto Knee, provides pictures with optimum contrast
without washed-out appearance, even for high-contrast subjects.
- Super V
The HC-390 comes with Super V function to provide a 20% boost in vertical resolution.
- Video Matrix
The Video Matrix circuit built into the HC-390 compensates for optical color rendition to deliver
crisp, natural-looking colors.
- Black Stretch
The Black Stretch function enhances the video levels only for low-luminance areas to improve black
detail of the subject.
[No-Frills Functions Demanded by Professionals]
- Variable Shutter
In addition to a stepped variable electronic shutter with speeds
up to 1/4000 of a second, a continuously variable shutter
capability is also provided. This can be set from 1/60.2 to
1/200.6 of a second. It not only delivers reproduction of
stable, sharp pictures for fast action shots, but also eliminates
flicker when shooting computer display monitors.
- Filters
The HC-390 incorporates a dust-free filter wheel to permit
selection of a color temperature conversion filter that matches
the surrounding lighting condition. In addition, effect filters
with cross/soft effects give the camera operator artistic and
creative freedom in vidual expression. The filter position can
be checked via an indicator within the viewfinder.
- Auto Controls
The HC-390 offers a variety of auto functions. In particular,
auto white balance comes in two memories, A and B, as well
as the preset position at 3000'K. Additionally, the four-
channel scene file allows rapid set up changes during shooting.
- Phantom Power
The HC-390 comes with +12V phantom power output as
standard, so that a wide variety of microphones can be
supported.
- High-Resolution VF
The High-resolution CRT viewfinder provides a sharp, stable
picture. The VF Detail function mixes a dedicated detail signal
onto the VF signal to substantially increase the vertical
resolution of the picture. Various facilities, such as Quick
Start and VF Light, are incorporated into this camera to offer
the camera operator the best operating versatility.
- VF Character Indications
A suite of character indicators hel~ the camera
operator to check almost all control status on the
VF screen.
(Battery Remainder)
If you use an ANTON BAUER Digital Battery, the
remaining level of the battery can be checked in
10% steps within the VF .
(Audio Level/ Audio Control)
During VTR recording,
the audio level can be
controlled by adjusting the
volume knob located on the
side of the camera while
viewing the indicator
within the VF.
(Zebra Indicator)
A newly-designed window-comparator.type zebra pattern
generator permits the zebra zone to be set freely.
(Recording Time Indicator)
The real-time tape counter is indicated within the
VF. Since the data is kept in the memory even when
the camera is powered off, the time recorded and
tape consumed can be checked accurately.
(VF Marker)
A marker indicated within the VF picture can be
chosen from four types. This hel~ the camera
operator to frame the picture. A 16:9 marker is also
available to be ready for a wide screen TV format.
(Menu)
Various operating conditions of the camera can be
easily set and checked via
a menu. Various settings
and indications, such as
for date, VTR start mode ,
marker indicator, titling,
memory. and scene file,
can be made using the
indications on the VF.
- Color Bar
The HC-390 is equipped with SMPTE color bar signal
generator. when Color Bars are turned ON, the title and
date can be displayed. When the camera number is input,
it is possible to identify the camera number on the monitor
dispplay output.
- A Host of Accessories
A variety of extension units for the existing HC Series,
including the MA-200A, can be used with the HC-390
