Sony HDC-3100L Overview

The HDC-3100L 2/3" CMOS SMPTE Fiber Broadcast Camera from Sony provides pristine imaging at rates up to 1080p60 with 4K capture available with an optional CCU. A global shutter creates crisp image quality without the "Jello" effect found with rolling shutters. Features include an integrated ND filter wheel with servo control, a color correction filter, rich focus functions, and backwards compatibility with Sony HDC-2000 series components. This modular camera is housed in a lightweight yet strong magnesium alloy body and incorporates SMPTE-standard fiber and SDI interfaces.

Optical Fiber Transmission
The integrated SMPTE-standard LEMO fiber connector enables the HDC-3100 to be used with separately available compatible CCU units for optical fiber transmission.
CMOS Sensor with Global Shutter
The HDC-3100'S 2/3" CMOS image sensor's global shutter eliminates any "Jello" effects and banding noise found with rolling shutters, producing crisp images with low noise and high sensitivity.
Format Flexibility up to 60p
  • Provides native 3G-SDI output in resolutions up to 1080p50.
  • Optional 1080p60 license is available separately.
  • Offers 4K output via the separately available CCU unit's 12G-SDI and quad 3G-SDI interfaces.
Fine-Tuned Imaging
Fine-tuned imaging provides low-key saturation, powerful gamma functions, and rich vibrant colors, even in low-light settings.
Simultaneous HDR and SDR Production
The HDC-3100 captures HDR imaging, supporting Sony's SR Live workflow with simultaneous HDR/SR production with reduced inventory needs.
Remote-Controlled ND and CC Filters
The built-in ND filter wheel and color correction filter can be controlled via a remote-control panel (RCP), master setup unit (MSU), or directly from the camera head.
Rich Focus Functions
  • A Viewfinder Detail function provides image-enhancing edge signals to your viewfinder.
  • It enables quick and precise focusing and includes a focus assist indicator and focus position meter.
Lightweight Durable Construction
  • The HDC-3100's magnesium alloy body provides exceptional lightness and strength.
  • A wide handgrip, a low center of gravity, and an adjustable shoulder pad provide stable handling.
IP Production Compatibility
Use with the separately available HDCE-TX30 IP extension adapter to output ST 2110 signals directly without requiring a separate CCU.
