I-MOVIX and Vision research partner to develop New Line of UltraMotion Solutions
posted:
Specially designed for live broadcast use
Combining the renowned quality and usability of I-MOVIX's award-winning SprintCam technology and Vision Research's Phantom® v series camera range, SprintCam Vvs HD operates at frame rates from 25 to 2,700 fps in 1080i50 or from 25 to 5,800 fps in 720p60, and provides instant replay at native HD resolution and image quality.
"Working with I-MOVIX allows Vision Research to continue to focus on what we do best — building digital high-speed cameras," said Rick Robinson, vice president of marketing, Vision Research. "Over the past few years, these cameras have seen growing use in ultra-slow-motion applications for broadcast. We've added some features to the cameras to make them more appealing in the broadcast market, but rely upon partners like I-MOVIX to help provide a true 'broadcast ready' solution."
Specially designed for live broadcast use, SprintCam Vvs HD can be specified in a standard camera version or optimized for shoulder-mounted portable shooting, providing an outstanding level of convenience and creativity in ultra-slow-motion action. Some of the new features include a dual output allowing the camera operator to shoot and record at the same time, segmented memory, a replay variable speed function for setting up speed-ramps in playback to seamlessly transition from live action to super slow-motion and back), and integration of both live- and replay-view on the viewfinder.
The SprintCam Vvs HD is available for sale
"Our relationship with Vision Research extends the range of choices available to customers seeking an industry-leading UltraMotion system," said Laurent Renard, CEO of I-MOVIX. "Vision Research's latest-generation Phantom camera delivers very high performance and is the camera-of-choice for many broadcasters and filmmakers. Now customers will be able to use Phantom as part of a fully integrated and easy to use broadcast-ready SprintCam system. The SprintCam Vvs HD is available for sale as a fully broadcast-integrated out-of-the-box product or, for those who already own a Phantom camera, as a customized full broadcast integration solution."
SprintCam Vvs HD complements the SprintCam range of ultra slow motion solutions, together with the newly enhanced SprintCam V3 HD announced in January 2010. The award-winning SprintCam range, which also includes the SprintCam Live V2.1, offers industry-leading features, performance, and usability for any broadcast, commercial, movie, or scientific shoot.
