HK-399PW PDF Leaflet (1.3MB) - Ikegami

HK-399PW- here’s Ikegami’s ultimate SDTV camera.
Superior performance-never done before-has been brought by this HK-399PW.
AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCD
Newly developed AIT (Advanced Interline Transfer) CCD
offers high sensitivity of f11 and very low smear levels of
-135dB with 100,000 times lighting condition. This figure
actually exceeds that of FIT chip.
(*NOTE: Some manufacturers announce the smear level with only
500 times lighting condition. Ikegami, however, measures with
100,000 times lighting to have more precise figure.)
FULL AUTO SETUP
As previous Ikegami HK series camera had, HK-399PW
has FULL AUTO SETUP function. By performing FULL
AUTO SETUP, total setup for video including lens, optical
block and CCD can be made automatically. Also upon its
necessity, LEVEL AUTO that adjusts only for video level
and QUICK AUTO that does not need external chart can
be performed. As such, this camera equips precise and
automatic camera maintenance functions.
Low Power consumption
It's power consumption is merely approx. 10W thanks to
the newest Digital Process IC and signal processing.
This contributes the decrease of internal heat-up inside
the camera and the stability of electric parts & its longer
lifetime. In comparison with HK-388P (20.5W), the
consumption is almost half of that.
Compact & Light Weight
The camera is ergonomically designed with low profile
for stable on-shoulder operation work. It is possible to
keep side angle of view. The shoulder pad is made of
non-slip material, and camera weight is only 2.3kg
(excluding VF and TA).
Prompt Software Update via SmartMedia TM – data
transmission on email
So far, it needs a time and is rather troublesome when
the software version is changed. Updated software for
HK-399PW Camera Head can be sent as data through
email etc, so by downloading it on SmartMedia and by
slotting it in the camera and downloading, the update
can be done promptly, simply and easily with less work!

Chip C4 ASIC
■ 0.18µm Digital Process
Using newly developed digital
process IC - almost all signal
processing can be done with this -
designed at 0.18micro m rule, the
video signals are digitized up to 38
bit internal digital processing.
Full digital processing after preknee
ensures stable and reliable
picture quality.
Chip C4 - 0.18µm Rule
Also since the remaining analog
circuit in previous digital cameras such as White Balance /
White Shading are digitized, it also contributes superb highquality
pictures, with excellent S/N during all operation.
Also Digital ENC circuit is built-in the chip, stable composite
video can be obtained from camera head.
■ S/N 66dB (PAL) / 68dB (NTSC) (Typical)
Excellent S/N 66dB (PAL) / 68dB (NTSC), impossible figure so
far, has been achievable thanks to newly developed CCD
signal processing, improvement of Pre-Amp, digitization of
remaining analog circuit and adoption of 14bit A/D conversion.
Also the D/A converter for Video is 12 bit, so not only digital but
also analog video out can be hi-quality.
■ 14bit A/D Converter-Forerunner in industry
Employing 14bit A/D converter that no one has ever done
ensures the improvement of gradation on dark portion (Internal
process : upto 38 bit). Also knee expand circuit that is
incorporated at the first step of digital processing IC restores
the linearity on high luminance portion that is lost during preknee
process. This makes it possible to do the linear signal
processing at 600% in digital process after pre-knee and it
contributes the great improvement of the characteristics such
as Knee, & Flare.

■ ADAPTIVE AUTO KNEE
In addition to the conventional Auto Knee circuit that varies the
slope of the knee according to the degree of over exposure, the
HK-399PW includes an Adaptive Auto Knee that adapts both
the Point and Slope of the knee to give improved contrast in the
highlight area. The Adaptive Auto Knee has five different pivot
points, selected by the menu, so the operator can optimize the
performance according to the application.

New Prism
■ Newly developed Prism Block
At the events / programs with strong spot-light such as livemusic
show or the night football match, you might have
experienced the picture itself or around the spot-light becomes
whity or foggy. Also in some cases you might have observed
Golfball Ghost * 1 . These are the phenomeon caused by the
reflection of prism. HK-399PW employs new prism – coating on
the surface of prism ejection side has been improved – so as
not to reflect the light on the side.

*1 Golfball Ghost
This is the spotty ghost phenomena with color like dimple on golf ball
when shooting the strong light at center of the picture. The closer the
iris is, the more this becomes obvious.
Optional Board
By slotting in the optional module
inside camera head, several
functions, such as high sensitivity
upto 76dB (PAL) / 78dB (NTSC)
with light accumulation, Scan
Reverse that picture can be
converted like mirror, and
progressive mode for filmlike
picture, are available.
Normal Scan Reverse ON

Newly designed MCP and OCP
MCP-120 OCP-399
■ MCP-120 and OCP-399
To control the full functions on HK-399PW, the MCP and OCP
have been designed newly. Features exclusively available such
as triple filters, upto 48dB gain up and custom color can be
controlled by the new panels.
System Expander SE-S500
For the requirement of same performance as studio type
Camera, System Expander SE-S500 is available. This unit can
mount large lens and 7" VF. Same operability with conventional
studio type camera can be achieved.In case of operation with
large lens + 5" VF, the operation can be made without SE-S500
by feeding the power to lens & 5" VF from DC12V CN (Max 2A).

Various DTL Functions Other Features
New DTL functions are incorporated in addition to conventional
Diagonal DTL.
■ FINE DTL
Newly developed "FINE DTL" prevents the increase of nonnatural
edge on the portion where the luminance is different,
and it contributes the increase of edge on fine portions.
Because of the CHIP C4 ASIC, it provides more natural edge
feeling without the deterioration of S/N. HK-399PW improves
the characteristics of edge itself by 38MHz processing at the
first stage of CHIP C4.
■ WIDE-BAND-DTL
By widening of DTL boost frequency, the picture becomes
sharper especially when the zooming is at wide side of the
object.
■ NEW-SKIN-DTL
The conventional Skin DTL is the function not added DTL to
skin tone portion. The new Skin DTL eliminates the DTL edge
only for the high frequency portion of skin tone more than
conventional skin DTL to have more effect.
Normal Conventional Skin DTL New Skin DTL
■ CLEAR-VF-DTL (Patent-Pending)
VF DTL is stressed only on in-focus point, so easier focusing is
possible on the VF. Difference edging on the VF picture makes
it possible for camera operator to adjust focus and find the
point easier.

No DTL is generated for the
out of focus image, so it is so
easier to see the difference
between A and B.
■ NEW-SLIM-DTL
More effective slim DTL function is available for thinner details

■ VERTICAL-SLIM-DTL (5 LINE-DTL)
By making vertical edge from 5 lines, Slim DTL effect can be
achieved for the vertical edge.

■ HYPER GAIN
The hyper gain upto +48dB allows a minimum illumination of
0.03 lux (at F1.4 with 50% video level). Synchronized noise /
random noise that is visible remarkably when gain up is
drastically decreased, so gain up with clear picture quality can
be obtained. Furthermore, optional extended sensitivity board
can increase sensitivity upto 76dB (PAL) / 78dB (NTSC) (min.
illumination approx. 0.004lux) by CCD accumulation function
plus +48dB gain up.
Normal Gain UP
■ SUPER-KNEE
The colour reproduction in high luminance area is improved
since the high luminance signal is digitally processed with a
super knee function after it is reconverted to a linear signal.
This system retains the colour in the highlight area where it is
washed out in conventional cameras.
Normal Super Knee ON
■ Custom Color Effect
This color correction function gives the operator subjective
control of hue and saturation of the six color vectors, without
disturbing the linear matrix setup. A unique addition to the
system is auto detection (AHD) for two specific colors chosen
by the operator. After selecting the hue, saturation, and
luminance level of the custom colors is under operator control.
Normal After correction
■ 16bit Digital Clamp
16 bit digital clamp circuit that incorporates digital process IC
retains high stability of video black level. It is effective to the
black level change caused by the temperature change of A/D
converter that sometimes happens with Digital processing
camera.
■ Serial Digital communication with lens
Serial digital communication interface is available for the
camera and the lens. Data communication, such as automatic
lens file setting when the portable lens is changed, can be
made.

HK-399PW
User-Conscious Features
Front Panel
■ 1.5" Viewfinder
Equipped with a high
performance viewfinder of
horizontal resolution of 600
TVL. So that the operator can
concentrate on the VF
picture, internal LED display
in escutcheon is minimized
and the setting mode is
displayed as character upon
its necessity. Besides this VF
has rear tally on the back
side for easier confirmation.
In addition, the viewfinder
can be moved back & forth /
right & left by means of an
innovative sliding system.
■ Triple fiters
HK-399PW provides two built-in
grass filter wheels - ND
(100%,25%,6.2%,1.6%) / EFF
(Clear, Cross, Snow Cross, Soft
Focus) and ECC [Electronic Color
Compensation] (3200K /4300K
/6300K /8000K), totally triple filters.
By the random combination of
these filters, whatever colour
temperature condition is, suitable
lighting and depth of field can be
retained and the camera can be
operated with same operation
flexibility as conventional top-end
broadcast cameras. All these triple
filters can be servo / remote-control
from OCP-399 / MCP-120.
■ P (Personal). FUNCTION switch
Functions frequently used can be
assigned to the P.FUNC switch.
This camera has two types of
switches - push type and toggle
type - aiming at the improvement of
operation and prevention of misoperation.
■ Pivoting triax connector
This enables various angle of shooting
without giving damage on triax cable.
■ Easy operating Intercom / PGM control
It provides Intercom / PGM control on the
side panel. Operator can control those levels
independently with keeping watching VF.
■ INCOM & RET switch
For operator’s convenience INCOM
MIC & RET Switch are available on
camera handle.
■ Memory Card (Smart Media TM )
Camera operating condition can be stored
into a memory card. Camera setup is greatly
simplified by loading the data stored in the
memory card.
Furthermore, software version-up for camera
head can be done via this media.
SmartMedia TM can be used as memory card.
