  Outline and features
The Z-3000W , Z-3000is a new concept 2/3-inch CCD
camera that stresses fundamental camera
performance.
Advanced functions are realized by the new single
chip digital signal processor that improves gradation
response, color reproducibility and perceived
resolution.    The DSP is fully digitized from processor
to encoder and incorporates a built-in noise reducing
function.
The design fully comprehends the needs of on-site
camerawork, with a rugged diecast frame that is light,
has a low center of gravity and is convenient to
operate.
Premier Performance Starring the Hitachi Z-3000
Digital Camera.
Outstanding Features
Ù
ÙÙ ÙResolution
Horizontal resolution of 850 TV lines is achieved
by the 2/3 inch 640,000 / 410,000 pixel CCDs with
microlenses and digital double speed signal
processing circuit.
Ù
ÙÙ ÙSwitchable 16:9/4:3 (Z-3000W only)
The aspect ratio is switchable between 16:9 and
4:3 to provide broad freedom for program
production.    Picture quality is also preserved by
using a digital system.
Ù
ÙÙ ÙNewly crafted DSP
Hitachis pinnacle holding LSI technology
combines the    entire system from processor to
encoder into a single chip to even further reduce
the size and power consumption, while enhancing
stability.
The 10 bit A/D converter and 13 to 18 bit
processor promote high S/N and wide dynamic
range.
Ù
ÙÙ ÙSignal to noise ratio
An S/N rating of 65 dB is attained by adding low
noise circuit technology to a newly developed
digital noise reduction circuit.    Even at    high gain,
clear low noise images can be obtained.Ù
ÙÙ ÙSensitivity (standard 2000 lux,    F11)
High gain (+24 dB) and Ultra-Gain (+12 dB) can be
combined for up to +36 dB gain increase.
Operation is enabled down to 0.5 lux (F1.4) and
0.8 lux (F1.8).
Ù
ÙÙ ÙSetup card
Camera setup data can be saved to a setup card
(Compact Flash) and recalled when required.
Flexibility is offered to meet a wide assortment of
scene environments.
Ù
ÙÙ ÙVersatile CCD drive functions
ÔPreset type 5-step electronic shutter speeds.
ÔLock Scan to image computer monitors without
flicker.
ÔAuto electronic shutter (AES) mode for
maintaining a fixed video level.
ÔCC frame mode for improved vertical resolution.
Ù
ÙÙ ÙBetter picture quality from digital processing
ÔHighlight chroma and auto knee
Color reproduction of highly luminous signals is
improved by the highlight chroma circuit, while
auto knee automatically compresses high
luminosity signals.    These add up to wide
dynamic range.
ÔFlesh tone detail
Smoothed and softened complexion flatters the
talent without sacrificing overall scene detail
ÔVariable detail boost frequency
The    center frequency of the detail
compensation signal is variable to allow selecting
the proper signal to match    the scene.
Ô6-vector and linear matrix
Full colorimetry control is built in with linear
matrix compensation for color reproduction plus
independently variable hue and saturation for six
colors to provide wide latitude for subjective
expression
ÔSpecial gamma
Adjusts the gamma rising gain to improve
reproduction of dark scene components.
ÔFlare compensation

ÔDo not open the viewfinder cover.    There is
danger of touching internal high voltage
components.
CAUTION
ÙWhen connecting and disconnecting lens,

NOTE
ññññññññññCCD characteristic phenomena
ññññññññññ
The following types of phenomena are innate characteristics of a charge
coupled device (CCD) and are not malfunctions.    Be aware of these when
using a CCD camera for broadcast or other demanding applications.
Smear
When a bright object is picked up, thin trails appear above and below the image.
The effect is more pronounced at high electronic shutter speeds.
Fixed pattern
When operate at high temperature, a fixed pattern (vertical stripes, white dots)
can appear.    The pattern is more easily seen when the camera sensitivity is raised.
