HXC-100
© 2009 Sony Corporation
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.
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 Camera Control Unit.
Buttons on the handle are also available as function
assignable switches.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
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.
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.
Features
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.”
Optimized handle shape and VF slide
mechanism for stable shooting

are trademarks of Sony
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.
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
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)
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.

Knee saturation
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-
C730W (6.3-type), and HDVF-C950W (9-type), are also
selectable to cover various applications.
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.
Prevention of electrical shock
When the power connection is unsafe, the power supply from
the connected Camera Control Unit will be shut off.
Versatile detail control functions
System Configuration
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.
Peripherals and related devices for the camera are shown in
figures.
Note
Production of some of the peripherals and related devices
shown in the figures has been discontinued. For advice on
choosing devices, please contact your Sony dealer or a Sony
sales representative.
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.

Adjusting the Black Balance and White
Balance
In order to maintain high picture quality when using the
camera, it is necessary to set the black balance and white
balance appropriately for the conditions.
Note
Adjusting the Shoulder Pad Position
When a CCU or an external control device, such as an RCP/
RM, is connected, the black balance and white balance are
controlled from the external device or the HKCU-FP1 attached
to the CCU, and adjustment on the camera is disabled.
1
You can shift the shoulder pad in the range of 28 mm (1 /
8
inches). This adjustment helps you get the best balance for
shooting with the camera on your shoulder.
Black balance adjustment
The black balance needs adjustment in situations like the
following:
• The first time the camera is used
• When the camera is used after a long period of disuse
• When the surrounding temperature changes greatly
• When the gain value is changed using the setup menus
Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every
time the camera is turned on.
To adjust
1 Raise the lever in the center of the shoulder pad to unlock
the shoulder pad, 2 slide the shoulder pad backward or
forward until it is in the most convenient position, and 3 move
the lever down to lock the shoulder pad in the selected
position.

even when the camera power is turned off.
Notes
• During black balance adjustment, the iris will be
automatically closed.
• During black balance adjustment, the gain switching circuit
will work automatically, and the viewfinder screen will flicker
several times. This is not a malfunction.
Preparatory Settings

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).
To adjust the white balance
1
Select 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).
Note
When using a zoom lens with automatic iris control capability,
hunting may occur. Adjust the lens’ iris gain control (labeled
Filter select knob

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.
2
Place 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.
A rectangle centered in the screen:
The length of the sides must be at least 70% of the
height and width of the screen.
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.
Within this rectangle, there must be an area of
white greater than 10% of the entire screen.
Note
Setting the Electronic Shutter
Be careful not to have any spots of high illumination in the
rectangle.
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.

Adjust the lens iris opening.
With a manually adjusted lens: Set the opening to an
appropriate value.
Note
With a lens which has automatic iris control: Set the
lens’ automatic/manual iris control switch to
automatic.
When a CCU or an external control device, such as an RCP/
RM, is connected, the electronic shutter is controlled from the

DIAGNOSIS
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.

Condensation
If you move the camera from a very cold place to a warm
place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on
the lens or inside the camera.
The camera has no built-in condensation indicator. If you find
condensation on the body or lens, switch the camera off and
wait for the condensation to disappear for about one hour.
Phenomena specific to CCD image sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are
specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors.
They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-
precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on
the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays.
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and is
not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen
• when operating at a high environmental temperature
• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)
The problem may be alleviated by automatic black balance
Smear
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight or
flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced on the
screen, or the image may be distorted.

Message
Meaning
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear
jagged or flicker.
VF RPN BUSY
RPN compensation was attempted from
an external device while being operated
using the camera menu.
Consult Sony service personnel.
About digital triax transmission
A powerful error-correction function is incorporated for the
transmission between the camera and CCU. However, if an
error occurs on long-distance transmission because of
external noise or for some other reason, the compensation by
interpolation that partially uses the previous picture may
operate.
NO MEMORY STICK
A “Memory Stick” operation was
attempted with no “Memory Stick” in the
slot.
MEMORY STICK
ERROR
An error occurred during access to a
“Memory Stick.”
FORMAT ERROR!
A “Memory Stick” operation was
attempted with an unformatted “Memory
Stick.”
In digital triax transmission, the following video delay in
transmission may occur:
• The video delay in transmission between the camera and
the CCU is approx. 9 msec to 12 msec.
• A delay of about 1 frame occurs on the viewfinder display if
a camera image is sent back from the CCU to the camera as
a return signal.
MEMORY STICK
LOCKED
File writing was attempted with a write-
protected “Memory Stick.”
FILE ERROR
An error occurred while reading a file
from a “Memory Stick.”
OTHER MODEL’S FILE You attempted to read a file of other
models having no compatibility.
• The prompter video will delay approx. 5 frames in the
standard mode. (For the prompter video, either the standard
mode or the low-delay mode using simplified images can be
selected on the CCU).
FILE NOT FOUND
The file you attempted to read does not
exist in the “Memory Stick.”
• An appropriate delay is applied to the MIC 1 and 2 audio
signals from the CCU according to the video delay.
• It takes a certain time until the video signal transmitted
between the camera and the CCU becomes stable after
power is applied. This is not a malfunction.
Using a “Memory Stick”
When a “Memory Stick” is inserted in the camera, the file data
can be stored on the “Memory Stick,” which enables you to
share data among cameras.
About the distances of triax transmission
The maximum and minimum transmission distances allowed
for triax cable connection are shown in the table below. The
distances may vary according to the conditions, such as cable
degradation.
Usable types of “Memory Stick”
You can use a “Memory Stick,” a “Memory Stick Duo,” a
“Memory Stick PRO,” a “Memory Stick PRO Duo,” and a
“MagicGate Memory Stick” with this product. You can use a
“Memory Stick Duo” or a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” without any
adaptor. However, the MagicGate copyright protection is not
valid with this product.
Allowable transmission range when using triax cables with the
following characteristics:
1)
3.8 dB to 45.6 dB at 100 MHz (including the loss at
connectors)
