The Sony HDC 950 with HKC-T950 adaptor camera is a 3 CCD 2/3 inch High Definition camera where the optical block (HKC-T950) is split from the main camera body for utilisation as a lightweight and compact camera head without loss of picture quality and functionality. The camera, which is switchable across all the common HD formats (see below), can be used as part of a camera chain with SMPTE fibre back (fibre to triax adaptors also available) and CCU, or as a standalone unit for use with a HD microwave link or alternatively direct to tape, allowing for seamless integration into the HD broadcast and production environment.

The Sony HDC950 with HKC-T950 adaptor can be hired as a standalone unit or as part of a range of ACS high definition systems from remote heads to stabilised mounts and provides the perfect solution for High Definition POV, camera tracking and aerial broadcast applications without the need to compromise on camera performance.
