4Overview
Overview
The HXC-100 is a 2/3-type high-definition portable video
camera equipped with CCD units for 2,200,000 pixels, which
can be used as a standalone camera as well as in a studio in
combination with the HXCU-100 or HSCU-3001) Camera
Control Unit.
The camera incorporates the latest image capturing device
and digital signal-processing LSI, and it performs newly
developed digital transmission with the camera control unit
(CCU), thus yielding high picture quality and high stability in
image creation in addition to superior camera functions and
operability.
1) An HXC-100 and HSCU-300 can be connected if both units are of
version 1.10 or later.
Features
High picture quality and high performance
The latest 2/3-type Progressive IT CCD units for 2,200,000
pixel achieve high sensitivity and low smear. In addition, the
14-bit A/D converter and an original developed signal-
processing LSI provide high picture quality of optimal grade.
Multiple formats
The camera covers 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94P, 1080/50i, and
720/50P.
With its wide-range down-converter, the camera also enables
output of high-quality SD signals (525i/625i) from the camera
and the connected CCU, establishing an optimum camera
system for SD-system operations.
Newly designed integrated unit with low center
of gravity
The camera has stylish appearance with low-slung design.
Even when used in combination with a studio-use viewfinder,
stable operation is achieved, thanks to its low center of gravity.
Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting
A new handle design has been adopted. A slight protrusion of
the upper front part of the handle enables stable holding of the
camera while you are shooting, by holding the front part of the
handle. Furthermore, a slide mechanism is located at the
viewfinder attachment position. Any difference in weight
balance caused by having a different lens attached can be
counteracted by adjusting the viewfinder attachment position,
in combination with the movable shoulder pad position. This
provides the best balance for shooting with the camera on your
shoulder.
Position-adjustable shoulder pad
The position of the shoulder pad can be adjusted for stable
shooting according to the build of the camera operator, the
type of lens in use, or the shooting style.
A low-repulsion shoulder pad (position fixed) is available as an
option. (Part No.: A-8286-346-A)
Function-assignable switches
The camera has buttons to which various functions can be
assigned on the side panel and the rear. You can activate your
desired function, such as electronic color-temperature
conversion, instantly when shooting by assigning it to one of
these buttons in advance.
Buttons on the handle are also available as function
assignable switches.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function (ALAC) is
provided with this camera. This automatically reduces
chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens that
supports auto aberration compensation is attached.
For details on lenses supporting auto aberration
compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony
service representative.
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal, which
can be added only on images on the viewfinder screen in order
to facilitate focusing in various situations: Functions for
coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the VF detail signal by
adding modulation, thickening the VF detail signal, and
automatically compensating the VF detail level according to
the zoom position.
Focus Assist Indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen provides
a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be easily
determined by observing fluctuation of the level indicator as a
guide.
“Memory Stick” 1) operation
The camera is equipped with a “Memory Stick” port, which
enables setup data storage and software upgrading using a
“Memory Stick.
1) “Memory Stick” and are trademarks of Sony
Corporation.
Various color-reproduction functions
Selection of multiple gamma tables
Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables
are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values
enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic range,
which are different from those achieved with conventional
video gamma.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition to the standard 6-axis matrix function, the camera
has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the hue
and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions
independently. This is quite useful in color matching among
multiple cameras.
5
Overview
Knee saturation
Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in
highlighted areas can be compensated.
This enables reproduction of natural skin tones under strong
lighting.
Low key saturation
Hue and chroma in low-key zones can be compensated. Thus,
compensation for color reproduction in all zones is enabled in
combination with matrix color compensation and knee
saturation functions.
Versatile detail control functions
Skin-tone detail function
This function allows control (emphasis or suppression) of the
detail level for just a certain hue or chroma area in the image,
by creating a detail gate signal from color components of your
specified hue, such as skin tones.
Detail boost-frequency control
The boost frequency can be adjusted from 20 to 30 MHz. This
allows the detail thickness to be set appropriately for the
subject, thus enabling more subtle image expression.
H/V ratio control
The ratio between horizontal and vertical detail can be
adjusted.
White/black limiter
The white and black details can be limited independently.
Easy menu-based setting
Selections and settings for viewfinder display items, safety-
zone marker
1) or center marker,2) screen size marker, etc. can
be made quickly and easily, using setup menus displayed on
the viewfinder screen or an external monitor.
1) Safety zone marker: A box-shaped marker displayed on the
viewfinder screen which indicates 80%, 90%, 92.5%, or 95% of the
total screen area
2) Center marker: A cross-shaped marker which indicates the center
of the viewfinder screen
Wide variety of viewfinder display options
Along with items such as operation messages, a zebra
pattern,1) a safety-zone marker, and a center marker, camera
settings may also be displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Furthermore, there are various cautionary and warning
indications to be occasionally displayed, making it simple to
check the status of the camera.
1) Zebra pattern: A stripe pattern displayed on the viewfinder screen
which indicates the portions where the video level is above about
70% or 100%. Used to check the video level of the subject.
Digital triax transmission
The camera uses an industry standard dual-shield coaxial
(triax) camera cable for connection between the camera and a
CCU. Newly developed original digital transmission
technology is built into the camera, and high-quality pictures
can be transmitted between the camera and CCU, regardless
of the cable length.
Versatile choices of viewfinders
Multiformat monochrome CRT viewfinders, HDVF-200 (2-
type) and HDVF-550 (5-type) can be selected for use in studio
and portable systems.
Color LCD viewfinders, HDVF-C35W (3.5-type), HDVF-
C550W (5-type), and HDVF-C730W (6.5-type), are also
selectable to cover various applications.
Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from
the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.

To adjust the white balance
1Select the built-in filter according to the lighting
conditions with the filter select knob (1: Clear, 2:
1/4 ND, 3: 1/16 ND, 4: 1/64 ND).
2Place a white pattern, as shown below, with the same
lighting conditions as the subject, and zoom in on it.
A white object (white cloth, a white wall, etc.) near the
subject may be used in place of a white pattern.
Be careful not to have any spots of high illumination in the
rectangle.
3Adjust the lens iris opening.
With a manually adjusted lens: Set the opening to an
appropriate value.
With a lens which has automatic iris control: Set the
lens’ automatic/manual iris control switch to
automatic.
4Select white balance memory A or B with the WHITE
BAL switch and push the AUTO W/B BAL switch
toward WHT.
Automatic white balance adjustment begins.
During adjustment, the message “AWB: EXECUTINGwill be
displayed on the viewfinder screen.
After about one second, the message “AWB: OK” will be
displayed, and the adjustment process will complete.
The adjusted value will be automatically stored in the selected
memory (A or B).
When using a zoom lens with automatic iris control capability,
hunting 1) may occur. Adjust the lens’ iris gain control (labeled
IG, IS, S, etc.).
1) Hunting: The automatic iris responds over and over, and the image
repeatedly darkens and lightens.
For more information, refer to the operation manual for the
lens.
About white balance memory
There are two white balance memories: A and B.
When you execute automatic white balance adjustment, the
adjusted white balance value and the setting of the filter select
knob will be stored in either memory A or B, selected with the
WHITE BAL switch.
The white balance values stored in memory will be preserved
even when power is turned off. When power is turned on
again, the white balance in memory corresponding to the
current WHITE BAL switch setting is retrieved.
If automatic black balance or white balance
adjustment fails
If the adjustment process does not end successfully, the error
message “ABB: NG” or “AWB: NG” will be displayed on the
viewfinder screen for approximately three seconds.
If this error message is displayed, try the adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed after several
attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.
Setting the Electronic Shutter
This section explains the different modes which can be used
for the electronic shutter and gives the procedures for setting
the shutter mode and shutter speed.
When a CCU or an external control device, such as an RCP/
RM, is connected, the electronic shutter is controlled from the
external control device or the HKCU-FP1 mounted on the
CCU, and the switch on the camera is disabled.
About the shutter modes
The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter
of the camera and the shutter speeds that may be selected are
as follows:
1) The values in the table are those with 59.94i. With other formats, the
available values may be different.

With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be constant,
but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue components
varies with the power supply frequency. This phenomenon is
known as “flicker.” When using the electronic shutter under
these lighting conditions, there are certain cases in which the
flicker is more noticeable. In particular, color flicker is evident
when the power frequency is 60 Hz. In areas where the power
frequency is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 second
will reduce the flicker.
Selecting the mode and speed of the shutter
The mode and the shutter speed in Standard mode are set
using the SHUTTER switch.
1Push the SHUTTER switch from the ON position to the
SEL position.
The current shutter setting will be displayed in the
viewfinder for about three seconds.
Example: “Shutter: 1/250”
2Push the SHUTTER switch to the SEL position again
before the display disappears. Repeat this action until
the desired mode or speed is displayed.
Setting the Local Time
When using the camera for the first time, set the built-in clock
to the local time, using the <DATE> page of the
MAINTENANCE menu displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Adjusting the Flange Focal Length
Adjustment of the flange focal length (the distance between
the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is
necessary in the following situations:
The first time a lens is attached
When changing lenses
If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle
when zooming
The flange focal length can be more precisely adjusted by
using the focus assist indicators.
See “Displaying the focus assist indicators” (page 18) for the
focus assist indicators.
The various parts of the lens used in adjusting the flange focal
length are in different positions on different lenses. Refer to the
operation manual for the lens.
