HDC-X310K ^{Previous Model}

Progressive Mode

Incorporating Sony's innovative Advanced Frame Accumulation (AFA) technology, the HDC-X310K can output progressive HD signals (25PsF/29.97PsF), 2-3 pull down-converted signal from 23.976PsF (59.94i) in addition to interlaced HD signals (50i/59.94i). Interlace and progressive modes can be easily selected from the camera set-up menu. o 50i output mode: 50i or 25PsF selectable o 59.94i output mode: 59.94i/29.97PsF/23.976PsF (with built-in 2-3 pull-down function) selectable

Auto-Focus Function

While maintaining compatibility with interchangeable manual-focus lenses, the HDC-X310K comes packaged with a convenient auto-focus lens. Two auto-focus modes are available and can be selected on the supplied lens. One-push auto-focus readjusts the focus each time the button is pressed, while auto-tracing focus automatically tracks the focus in a dynamic manner. Auto-focus function is only available when using the VCL-719BXS focus servo lens included in the HDC-X310K package.

Flexible Image Controls

The HDC-X310K provides highly advanced image-control functions such as a TruEye feature, skin-tone detail, and colour 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-X310K, 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-X310K is set to 23.976PsF progressive mode, the camera outputs a 2-3 pull-down trigger signal for frame locking to other HDC-X300 series cameras.

Remote Control Capability

The HDC-X310K is compatible with the RM-B150/B750 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel and MSU-900/950 Master Set-up Unit. These remote controllers cover the complete range of control parameters that the HDC-X310K provides, from basic camera control to sophisticated operations.

Optical ND Filter and Electronic CC Function

Optimum light and colour control is easily achieved using the built-in optical Neutral Density (ND) filter wheel and electronic Colour Correction (CC) function. The HDC-X310K uses electronic colour correction to eliminate the need for optical colour 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 (Option)

The HKC-SV1 is a servo unit that allows the optical ND filters of the HDC-X310K to be controlled remotely from the RM-B750/B150 Remote Control Unit, RCP-700 Series Remote Control Panel, or MSU-900/950 Master Set-up Unit.
