Sony HDC-P1 HD Multi-Purpose Camera

Description

Retaining the operational feel of Sony's HDC-1000 series cameras, the Sony HDC-P1 HD Multi-Purpose Camera is a compact, POV-style HD camera with a rich feature set based around three 2/3" CCD sensors. Capable of high-quality 1920 x 1080 images, the HDC-P1 can capture in 1080i, 1080p, or 720p, at either 50 or 59.94p (with a software option for 23.98PsF and other frame rates). This model was built specifically as a compact HD studio camera that can shoot in tight and awkward spaces as well as capture images from hard-to-reach angles. Combined with its ability to seamlessly integrate content from full-size cameras, the HDC-P1 is ideal for such applications as multi-format sports, stereoscopic 3D, and HD robotics.

Key Features:

• Sony's first 2/3" (16.9mm) 2.2-megapixel full-HD CCD "box"-type (POV-style) camera with the equivalent picture performance of HDC-1000 Series studio cameras
• Compact body--just 3.5" (86mm) in width
• Supports a wide range of capturing formats: 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94p, and 720/50p (add 4:2:2 1080/23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, and 29.97PsF capturing formats with optional HZC-PSFP1 software)
• Motorised filter servo system (two disks: ND and CC)

• Fully compatible with Sony's current master set-up units (MSU) and remote control panels (RCP), making it easy to integrate with everything from extensive multi-camera systems to simple point-to-point systems
