With its new 2,048 X 2,048 active pixel CMOS sensor, Vision Research
introduces the advantages of high-speed digital imaging to the
world of 2K and HD media production. This new Phantom is not just
a high-speed camera, but an instrument that gives the cinematographer
35mm depth of field either at HD or 2K resolutions! The Phantom
HD now combines the visual quality of high-definition imaging
with the high frame rates of specialty cameras. Whether your imaging
needs encompass broadcasts of rapidly moving sports events, the
production of commercials, a music video, an award-winning documentary,
monitoring a rocket launch, or possibly you are an innovative
cinematographer working on a special film project that needs "a
new look" to tell the story, the flexibility and virtually limitless
control of the HD will provide you with outstanding results.

CREATICE CONTROL
|
Now there is a camera that gives you complete creative control
over time. The Phantom HD allows you to select any frame rate
from 1 to 1,000 fps in increments of one frame per second at HD
resolution. Shift the frame rate a little and move the scene to
a slightly future viewpoint. Or shift the frame rate a lot and
move the scene to some long passing moment in time. With the Phantom
camera's shutter, variable to 1/500,000 second, and radically
adjustable framing rates, you have seamless control of the duration,
speed and time of a story element. Of course with the Phantom
you will know exactly how your shot looks immediately. The Phantom
HD's sensor is truly unique, capable of 2K imaging for cinema,
or HD for projects geared towards television production, and the
vertical image size can also be changed in 8 pixel increments.
Pixels measure 12.5 microns, and 14-bit A/D converters provide
sensitivity and image quality that has to be seen to be believed.
These features insure excellent image quality even at speeds of
1,000 fps, regardless of the application.

MULTI-STANDARD COMPLIANT OUTPUT
|
The HD has allocated formats for standard HD 16:9 (1920 X 1080
pixels) and 35mm mopic at 1.85:1 using an active pixel area of
25.6mm x 13.85mm (2048 X 1108 pixels) making this camera fully
compatible with all 35mm equipment as well. The HD can be configured
for "live" broadcast or studio production and has a continuous
video output that includes HD (720p, 1080p, 1080i) standards.
Multiple triggering and recording modes can also be tailored to
your application. Pick your viewing option, the Phantom HD is
compatible with any +12vdc YPrPb viewfinder or monitor making
shooting any subject clear and precise. The camera can also be
controlled and image files downloaded using a Gigabit Ethernet
to PC connection, and files can be converted TIFF stacks, MOV,
or AVI formats using the included Phantom software package.

FLEXIBLE MEMORY STORAGE
|
The Phantom HD arrives with 8 Gigabytes of internal memory standard,
16 Gigabytes as an option. But this is just the start of methods
we provide to store your work. Take advantage of the hot-swappable
non-volatile solid state recorders -- our Phantom CineMags. These
low profile modules (available early 2007) mount snugly to the
top of the camera body and store 256 or 512 Gigabytes each. When
one of these storage magazines is filled, its CineDock station
allows downloading of the images to a PC running the Phantom application.
