The HDK-79GX is a state of the art full digital HDTV camera with superior picture quality and high reliability for studio and field HD production. The HDK-79GX incorporates a newly developed FPGA together with advanced full digital process ASIC to achieve outstanding picture performance. This camera is designed from the start based on 16-bit A/D and matching 16-bit DSP to maximize the benefits of high bit quantization. Especially for the dark areas of the picture, the higher gradation for gamma and other circuits improves the reproduction, providing for more natural color in the shadow areas of the picture.
