The Series starts on Saturday, 21 October in Detroit. One camera will be behind home plate and the second behind 1st or 3rd base. The Phantom V10 is integrated into Inertia Unlimited's X-MO system, providing slow-motion playback in a number of sporting events around the U.S.A. Ongoing collaboration between Vision Research and Inertia Unlimited has lead to Phantom cameras becoming the de-facto standard in slow-motion Inertia Unlimited uses Phantom V10 in their X-MO system for playoffs If you catch any of the National League or American League playoff games on FOX this year and see any of the slow motion replays, you are seeing a Phantom V10 in action. The Phantom V10 is being used as the high-speed camera component of Inertia Unlimited's X-Mo system at all playoff games. The following is from Inertia Unlimited: Inertia Unlimited has been the driving force in the development of HD high speed cameras for broadcast TV. X-mo shoots up to 1000fps at 1080p, 2000 fps at 720p, and up to 6500 fps NTSC or PAL. At lower resolution, it can shoot more than 140,000 fps. The new X-mo is not only HD, it also has the advantage of producing an immediate HD-SDI replay directly from the camera. In the past, there was always a delay or slower frame rate replay due to the slower Ethernet output, making directors and producers less likely to use it than other replay cameras. With no delay, and greatly improved picture quality, the HD X-Mo is becoming a staple in sports broadcast and other non-broadcast applications. X-mo can be configured for many different applications. The most commonly used lenses are the Canon f1.4 55x9mm, the Canon f1.7 15x8mm, the Angenieux Optimo T2.8 24-290mm and the Optimo T2.2 17-80mm. X-mo can be shot handheld, mounted to a robotic system or setup in full studio configuration. With a typical X-mo package, video is sent back to the TV truck over two strands of fiber or can be recorded locally. Telecast Rattlers utilize one strand for video that is sent to a HD frame synch. The second strand is used for data control/shading of the camera. The camera contains 6Gb of flash memory that acts like a buffer. At 720p resolution approximately 6500 frames of video are available. Replays work from the camera by pressing a trigger switch either at the camera or the computer at the out point of an event. The practical length of what replay time is available determines the number of frames in the replay. Typically this length is or 18 to 30 seconds including head and tail. Upon triggering, normal output is interrupted and a replay is substituted. When the replay is complete, the camera returns on its own to capturing pictures. SOURCE: Vision Research, Inc. Wayne, NJ - Vision Research, Inc. was awarded a $6.2M contract for high-speed digital cameras from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, located in China Lake, California. The contract includes up to 65 Phantom V10 color and monochrome cameras to be delivered through July, 2008. The cameras will be used in the Naval Air Warfare Center's digital video test and evaluation improvement and modernization program. "We are proud to have won this competitively procured business from the Navy; it validates the capabilities of our recently introduced Phantom V10 camera," said Andy Jantzen, Senior Vice President of New Product Development at Vision Research. The Phantom V10 camera has a 2400 X 1800 pixel resolution -- the highest resolution in the high-speed video instrumentation industry. Its active pixel technology as well as selectable 8- to 14-bit digitization provides superior light sensitivity. It can take up to 480 pictures-per-second (pps) at full resolution or up to 150,000 pps at lower resolutions. Combined with other standard Phantom camera features such as Extreme Dynamic Range ?and finely controllable shutter speeds down to 2 microseconds, V10 images have breathtaking quality. Applications for the V10 range from test and evaluation in government, military, and academic fields to special effects for cinema -- reinforced by the camera's HD-SDI output capable of supporting all high-definition output formats. Vision Research, Inc. designs and manufactures high-speed digital imaging systems used in measurement and entertainment applications. Their broad line of cameras, marketed under the "Phantom" trade mark, span a variety of application domains including Defense, Automotive, Engineering, Scientific and Medical Research, Industrial and Commercial, Sports and Entertainment, and Digital Broadcast and Cinematography.

Vision Research prides itself in the sensitivity, the high resolution and quality of images, the robust yet easy to use software interface, the reliability and versatility of their Phantom camera family which continue to be the benchmark for all other high-speed digital camera manufactures. VRI cameras add a new dimension to the sense of sight, allowing the user to see details of an event which is too fast to see, but too important not to. Stealth Camera, Super-Slo Mo Systems go deep for Fox at World Series Oct 19, 2006, 04:47 PM Email this article Printer friendly page By Ken Kerschbaumer The New York Yankees didn't even come close to making the World Series this year but at least their production truck made the cut as Game Creek's Yankee Clipper will be used alongside Dome Productions Trillium truck at Comerica Park, home of the AL champ Detroit Tigers. New Century Productions (NCP) is getting the call for the St. Louis Cardinals with NCP VII and VIII handling production duties. For Jerry Steinberg, Fox Sports SVP, operations, the biggest challenge is dealing with the logistics of moving around crew and gear. The rainouts during this year's NLCS series didn't help things as everyone lost a travel day and had to jet between New York and St. Louis at 6 a.m. following games that didn't end until well after 11 p.m. "Having our crews jump on and off charters with no sleep and setting up to do huge shows was a challenge," he says. Fortunately the Tigers helped out the situation somewhat by taking care of the Oakland A's quickly. Grass Valley Kalypso switchers and Calrec Alpha 100 consoles will form the backbone of the productions. Up to 30 Grass Valley HD cameras will be used during the games alongside Inertia Unlimited's X-Mo super-slow motion camera system. The system, which can record up to 2,000 frames per second, will add drama to shots of broken bats, head-first slides and fastballs zipping into home plate. X-Mo, which can grab images at up to 2,000 frames per second, has a 10-pound camera and a Windows XP laptop to record live images and make them instantly available for playback. Native resolution includes 1080p and 720p and uses two strands of single-mode fiber to send video and data to the production truck where a single channel of EVS can handle replays. "We'll adjust the frame rate to somewhere between 300 and 500 frames per second because the games are at night," says Steinberg. Also new this year will be the use of an aerial camera from Stealth Aerial Cameras. Unlike the four-corner versions that zip over the field in football Fox Sports will use a point-to-point system to have the camera flying along the first base line. The camera uses a Panasonic AK-HC 1500G camera. "ESPN has used but this is the first time it will be used for a World Series," says Steinberg. "The AK-HC1500G is the world's first compact HD multi-format camera," says Jeff Merritt, Panasonic Broadcast product manager, "We've combined exceptional picture quality in a small size that makes the camera easy to operate and flexible to use." The camera uses a new 14-bit A/D converter; a digital signal processor and a 2/3-inch IT-CCD creates broadcast quality imagery. An improved on-chip lens achieves standard sensitivity of F10.0 at 2000 lux and a smear level of less than -130 dB. Two or three Diamond cams will be on the field as well and, as usual, dozens of microphones will once again make the viewers at home wondering how Fox manages to grab every sound imaginable. Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Electrovoice, and Sony mics will be featured.

X-Mo is Different 21 questions to ask if you are shopping for a high speed camera. 슈퍼슬로우 HD카메라에 관한 기본적인 질문 (HD고속카메라 중계방송에 관한) 1. How long does it take to start to replay an image? In X-Mo's case, no time, nada, none, zero. 2. Is that a help in quick turnarounds like sporting events? How long does it take for a pitcher to throw another pitch? How long until the next snap? Sometimes even a few seconds wait is too much. 3. How much equipment needs to be used with the camera? X-Mo consists a 10 pound camera and a common Windows XP laptop computer. That's it. One Pelican case is enough. It's pretty safe to say, the more equipment you show up with the less reliable a system becomes. In fact once X-Mo is painted it can happily work without any computer at all. 4. What kind of lens does X-Mo use? Any Sony B4 mount lens will do from a ENG wide angle to a 101x studio lens. The camera operator has all their familiar controls. 5. What kind of viewfinder does X-Mo have for the operator? No matter what the eventual output format the camera operator is framing with a HD viewfinder. It is absolutely live with no delay. Focus and tight tracking shots are a breeze. The camera operator has peaking and other familiar controls for the video to help. 6. Speaking of the camera operator can we use our own local operator? Absolutely. In fact, we prefer that you do. They will have no learning curve whatsoever. 7. Who else is needed? A technician is required to set up X-Mo. This person will also do replays. If there are a number of events in a particular city we will train a local technician which can be paid for directly by the client. Training typically is very easy and takes about 2-3 games. A local computer savvy technician can pick it up in a little as one game though. 9. What formats does X-Mo support? Natively X-Mo produces 1080p, 720p, NTSC and PAL SDI (4:3 and 16:9). There is absolutely no up conversion. We carry a HD framesynch to genlock the camera to the truck as well as cross convert the 1080p to 1080i. 10. How does the signal get to the truck? We supply 2 strands of single mode fiber which handles the video and data control. We can attach to SMPTE, SC, or ST fiber for long runs or can send the video down copper if the run is short. We of course provide all fiber, fiber adapters and converters as part of the package. We hand off a gen locked signal of your choice to the truck. 11. How do I replay the shot? Unlike some super mo systems which require 3 channels of EVS, X-Mo only needs a single channel of EVS or similar or a tape machine in the truck. If you don't have one we can provide it. 12. How does a replay occur? The camera records all the time. Internally there is memory which acts like a buffer which can store a maximum of about 6500 frames at 720p. When we see something we like, after it is complete (like a swing) we hit a trigger which marks the out point of the replay. The next frame of the output is the start of the replay. When the replay is done the camera returns to recording automatically. 13. What if I don't like the replay? Do I have to wait for it to play out before I can record again? No. Replays can be instantaneously aborted and the camera immediately returned to recording. 14. What if the shot I want occurs just after the camera is triggered? No problem, we can set the camera to capture up to 15 triggers in a row and then replay any one of them or all of them. We can delete any of them and replay them at variable speed. 15. What does the truck see when there isn't a replay going on? Live video comes out of the camera and can be seen in the truck. Although it was done at the Olympics and on HBO we don't recommend you rely on X-Mo for live video. 16. How long can X-Mo record for. In terms of real time we can record about 6500 frames at 720p (and about half of that at 1080p). Say we are recording at 1000fps, that translates into about 6.5 seconds of real time. Of course that replay would produce a replay of more than 100 seconds. Normally we replay between 1000-1500 frames. 17. What is the highest frame rate you can record at? Native Resolution Standard Frame rate 1920x1080 1080p* 1000 1280x720 720p 2000 720x486 NTSC >4000 720x576 PAL >4000 *We convert the 1080p to 1080i before we hand it off to the truck as we framesynch the video 18. What are the different ways the camera can be set up? Handheld, robotic, ENG on a tripod, and full studio buildup with rear controls. 19. How long does it take to set X-Mo up? From scratch we are typically ready to fax in about 2 hours. 20. How long have you been involved with broadcast high speed cameras? We shot the MLB World Series 4 years ago. Since then X-Mo has shot many of the world's biggest sporting events. 21. All this sounds more than a little geeky. You guys can't have a background in broadcast? Everyone who works for us have a deep background in broadcast sports. We are shooters, editors, producers and have more than a few Emmy's to our name. We understand what works conceptually and practically in the harsh environment of traveling sports television. 본문내용 추가 텍스트 문서 그림삽입 삽입위치 본문좌측 본문우측 본문상단 본문하단
