HDCAM

I understand that it mimics the internal workings of the older HDcam cameras but surely that is not the point.

The film was shot digitally on the HDCAM format and was mostly handheld (aside from a few static composite shots).

Other digital productions like Superman Returns or Apocalypto recorded to the HDCAM tape format.

The film was shot in HD and is available for exhibition on DCP and HDCAM.

Most productions using the Sony HDCAM cameras therefore used lenses from Zeiss, Angenieux, Canon or Fujinon.

Shutterstock footage is available in a variety of formats, including DVCAM, HDCAM and Betacam.

The main competitor to DVCPRO HD is HDCAM, offered by Sony.

Like Betacam, HDCAM tapes are produced in small and large cassette sizes; the small cassette uses the same form factor as the original Betamax.

JVC's D-VHS and Sony's HDCAM formats could store that amount of data, but were neither popular nor well-known.

SMPTE 367M, also known as SMPTE D-11 and HDCAM, is a standard for the compression of high-definition digital video.

For example, George Lucas shot "Attack of the Clones" with Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM camcorders outfitted with high-end Panavision lenses.

Used by Sony in their HDCam High Definition recorders (not HDCAM SR).

The film was shot by Dutchman Dirk Van Der Velden on the Sony HDW-750P High Definition HDCAM Camera.

Sony HDW-F900 camcorders record in a high-definition format called HDCAM, which is designed to rival film in image resolution and to adapt well to a variety of other video formats used around the world.

In 1998, with the introduction of HDCAM recorders and 1920 x 1080 pixel digital professional video cameras based on CCD technology, the idea, now re-branded as "digital cinematography," began to gain traction in the market.

In 1997, Sony bumped its Betacam series up to HD with the HDCAM standard and its higher-end cousin HDCAM SR.

At introduction, P2 cards offered low recording capacity compared to competing, video tape-based formats (a miniDV tape holds roughly 13 GB of data, and an S-size HDCAM tape holds 50 GB).

Sony branded HDCAM cassettes are black with an orange lid, and HDCAM SR cassettes black with a cyan lid.

At HDTV resolutions, based on specifications, quality is higher than HDCAM but lower than HDCAM SR; unfortunately, no objective tests have been done comparing these formats.

Digi-Guys are also a subsidiary of Ignition Entertainment and early adopters of the U.K based Quantel IQ system and Sony's HDCAM SR format further solidifying their emphasis on a digital work environment.

COM, a leading searchable database of standard definition and high definition professional video equipment rentals (including HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, XDCAM HD, AND D5) whereby equipment can be located according to zip code [6].

Digital HD tape photographed movies such as Star Wars Episode II, Superman Returns, and Miami Vice often record to a 1080p format, however, these were mostly produced using the competing HDCAM and HDCAM SR formats from Sony.
