The Z-HD6000 is a high-performance HDTV portable production camera.
Hitachi has implemented the latest imaging technology by using newly developed 2.6 million pixel 3MOS sensors to create outstanding HD images for new achievements in high sensitivity and no vertical smear.
Each essential part of the Hitachi Z-HD6000 camera system has its own DSP processor. Unique, independent DSP IC's are used for camera head processing, the transmission system and Camera Control Unit (CCU) processing. Hitachi's new, powerefficient digital signal processors are designed to work with future 2K imaging technologies, offering excellent return on investment.
The Z-HD6000 achieves an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio specification of 60dB using Hitachi's proprietary low-noise circuit technology. Standard sensitivity is rated at F12 (59.94Hz)/F13 (50Hz) at 2000 lx. Clear images are obtained with little noise, even at high gain.
High horizontal resolution performance of 1100TVL (Luminance channel) is the pinnacle of picture sharpness and is an attribute of the most transparent signal processing path of any Hitachi digital camera manufactured to date.
Modern HDTV lenses can still produce optical distortions. One of these called "Lateral chromatic aberration" can be reduced in certain lens models when used with the Z-HD6000 camera system. The Hitachi function is called RLAC (Real-time Lens Aberration Correction) and it dynamically corrects images using correction data provided by the lens, through a digital interface with the camera.
The Z-HD6000's Black stretch function allows for better reproduction of dark or underexposed areas by evenly raising the luminance response without changing the pedestal or white clip/ knee settings. It is especially useful in high contrast image venues.
A new and useful function implemented in the Z-HD6000 is Ultra- Gamma, which provides seven different responses to dramatically increase exposure latitude of the camera in shooting conditions where lighting and scenery vary widely in intensity.
The Z-HD6000 provides enough AC power to drive both a teleprompter and monitor through a Hybrid Fiber or Digital Triax CCU.
The studio ON-AIR or Floor Monitor can be connected by SDI (digital) video directly from the camera head offering high quality critical viewing.
Hitachi uses dependable XLR-professional type audio connectors for the 2 intercom and 2 MIC/LINE audio facilities.
Focus Assist aids the camera operator in finding correct focus in the viewfinder . The Area Marker detects edges inside the area, while a focus indicator shows the actual detail level by a horizontal line.
Z-HD6000 offers a Gray-Scale Auto-Setup function which automatically adjusts video parameters that can negatively affect images you are trying to capture and faithfully reproduce. Gain, Gamma, and Flare are corrected using a common 11-step gray scale chart and stored in memory.
