Sony HDC-1500/1550/1400/1450 Cameras
A versatile addition to your professional camera gear, the Sony HKC-T1500 HD CCD Block Extension Kit is designed to enhance the functionality of your HDC-1400/1500 series HD camcorders. This innovative "split" adapter separates the image sensor assembly from the camera body, allowing for an extension of up to 50 meters via an optional multicore cable.
This extension kit brings a new level of flexibility to Sony's multi-format HD cameras. The tethered CCD block and lens can navigate into hard-to-reach areas, enabling uniquely framed POV shots. Whether you're shooting handheld, mounting on a car, or attaching to the end of a jib, this adapter makes it possible.
Despite its compact size, the HKC-T1500 does not compromise on image quality or shooting formats. It maintains the full range of HD progressive and interlace modes, from 24p to 1080i, ensuring the highest resolution in a compact and versatile form factor.
When the CCD block is fitted to the split adapter, it forms a compact unit, perfect for shooting in tight spaces such as inside a car or on a motorcycle. It can be handheld or fitted to any traditional camera mounts.
The lightweight design of the imaging assembly makes it ideal for prolonged handheld shooting where weight is a critical factor. Even when used in the split adapter, the HDC-1500 retains full performance, delivering a resolution that surpasses other dedicated compact cameras.
The HDC-1500 optical assembly can be quickly converted between normal and "split" operation, eliminating the need for a specialist compact camera. Once the camera is fitted to the HKC-T1500, there are no limitations to the operating format. All HD format standards are available, including Interlace 1080i modes - 1080/59.94i, 50i, Progressive 1080P modes - 1080/23.98p, 29.97p, 24p, 25p, 50p, 60p, and Progressive 720P mode - 720/59.94p, 50p.
In summary, the Sony HKC-T1500 HD CCD Block Extension Kit is a compact, lightweight, and versatile solution that enhances the capabilities of your HDC-1400/1500 series HD camcorders, delivering high-resolution images in a variety of shooting formats.
