Flexible Image Controls

The HDC-X300/X310 provides highly advanced image-control functions such as matrix, a TruEyefeature, skin-tone detail, and color temperature controls. These functions - previously available only on high-end studio cameras or camcorders - allow creative images to be produced with high clarity.

Trigger Function

Two types of trigger modes are available with the HDC-X300/X310, allowing synchronized operation with external equipment. The flash trigger input mode allows the camera to capture a high-quality still image when synchronized with an external flash - a function suited for photo-booth or document-stand applications. Another trigger mode is the 23.976PsF frame lock mode. When the HDC-X300/X310 is set to 23.976PsF progressive mode, the camera outputs a 2-3 pull-down trigger signal for frame locking to other HDC-X300/X310 cameras.

Remote Control Capability

The HDC-X300/X310 is compatible with the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel and MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit. These remote controllers cover the complete range of control parameters that the HDC-X300/X310 provides, from basic camera control to sophisticated operations.

Optical ND Filter and

Electronic CC Function

Optimum light and color control is easily achieved using the built-in optical Neutral Density (ND) filter wheel and electronic Color Correction (CC) function. The HDC-X300/X310 uses electronic color correction to eliminate the need for optical color correction filters. This allows all filters on the filter wheel to be ND types, providing the operator with greater flexibility in depth of field and exposure control.

HKC-SV1 Servo Filter Unit

The HKC-SV1 is a servo unit that allows the optical ND filters of the HDC-X300/X310 to be controlled remotely from the RM-B750/B150 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel, or MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit.
