Developed in-house by Panasonic, the advanced digital signal processor
provides optimal DTL signal processing for horizontal, vertical, diagonal,
dark, and highlight parameters to produce beautiful images with minimal
noise. In addition to the usual matrix circuit, the AK-HC1500 has a colour
correction function that uses 12-axis independent colour adjustment to
provide ideal hue and saturation adjustment of individual colours. Also, a
chrominance retain circuit prevents colour de-saturation in highlight areas.
The digital signal processor enables processing over a wide dynamic range,
minimising saturation in highlights and blocking in dark areas for more
detailed ©(pression throughout.

Multi-format capability with new 2/3-inch CCD in a new-standard HD camera
The 1-mega pixel IT-CCD imaging system offers excellent cost-performance,
and the 2/S-inch imaging size is ideal for multi-purpose use. This is a true
global camera with HD multi-format capability. Compatible with both 720p
and 10001 formats, the AK-HC1500 has a high degree of versatility. It
prepares you for taking the next step in HD production.

Uhls advanced CCD was developed in-house by Panasonic. The improved on-chip
lenses and CCD stracture achieve a standard sensitivity of F10.0 at 2,000 Ix and
a smear ievel of less than -130 dB.
