More format flexibility
The HDC-3170 can output 3G-SDI signals in a range of formats right up to 1080/50p. So you can benefit from maximum production convenience – and your viewers can enjoy premium picture quality.

Next-generation digital triax transmission
The HDC-3170 supports the latest third generation digital triax-based camera/CCU transmission system. This can carry high-quality Full HD images over distances up to 1,800m (With 14.5mm diameter triax cable. Maximum transmission distance varies with camera system configuration) while integrating smoothly into current triax infrastructures.

Get the look
Broaden your creative possibilities and achieve exactly the look you want in any shooting situation. Low-key Saturation ensures rich, vibrant colors in low-light areas. Powerful gamma functions give absolute control over fine-tuning tonal values, contrast and detail.

The go anywhere camera
The magnesium alloy body of the HDC-3170 offers exceptional lightness and strength. Sure, stable handling is enhanced by the camera’s low center of gravity, easily adjustable shoulder pad and widened hand grip area. Also ideal for handheld operation, HDC series studio cameras offer exceptional user ergonomics in a wide range of studio and field-based production environments.

Seamless integration
