Features

The HDW-750 can handle a very impressive contrast range. For the most challenging of light settings and associated scene conditions, a number of useful operational features are available that allow image optimization in real-time to help capture the desired mood of a shot.

  Feature   Benefit
Colorimetry

  The HDW-750 produces pictures with astonishing color reproduction accuracy. The Multi Matrix function also offers unique possibilities for creative intervention by allowing selective color enhancement of alteration. Multi Matrix allows a particular color to be selected and its hue changed over a range of approximately 20 degrees.


Color Balance

  Color Balance is widely accepted as one of the key settings for any shot. There are a number of ways of setting this when working with the HDW-750./.


Paint Functions

  Paint functions permit color levels to be adjusted on set according to the cinematographers creative needs. The picture can be changed electronically to make it warmer or colder. This feature can be used very creatively, particularly with scenes with mixed color lighting.


Contrast Range

 
Auto Tracing White Balance

  This function allows automatic tracing of whilte balance in siutations where overall color temperature of the lighting fluctuates.


Adaptive Detail Control

  Allows the image detail enhancement in the highlight area to look more natural


Skin Tone Detail

  This control the detail level of objects with specific color tonality allowing for a separate image enhancement (or de-enhancement) to occur in those color areas while not affecting the rest of the scene content.

Knee Saturation Control

  The Sony TruEye processor is one of the most innovative features of Sony's ADSP development, and makes possible to reproduce very natural colors in a high contrast scene environment. Without TruEye, a color distortion can occur in which highlights take on a yellowish hue.
