In June 1999, George Lucas announced that Episode II of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy would be the first major motion picture to be shot 100% digitally. Sony and Panavision had teamed up to develop the High Definition 24p camera that Lucas would use to accomplish this, and thus the first CineAlta camera was born: the Sony HDW-F900 (also called the Panavision HD-900F after being "panavised").
A key difference between 1080i and 1080p is how the lines of resolution are displayed. Both offer 1920x1080 pixels, but the display method is different. In 1080p, the "p" stands for progressive scan. Each frame is drawn line by line, from top to bottom, creating a complete image in a single pass.
The new camcorder was the first camcorder below $3,000 to offer full 1080 HD resolution with a three-chip sensor. Resolution: Sony claims "full" 1080 HD; Sensor: changed to 3 × 1/4" ClearVid CMOS; Light sensitivity: worse by 33% (4lux) Zoom: increased to 20× optical zoom (30× digital) Lens/filter: decreased to 62mm/bayonet mount
Cellphones, digital single-lens reflex and compact digicams, laptops and personal media players offer video-capture capability, but most multipurpose devices offer less video-capture functionality than an equivalent camcorder. Most lack manual adjustments, audio input, autofocus and zoom. Few capture in standard TV-video formats (480p60, 720p60 ...
The PXL2000 consists of a simple aspherical lens, an infrared filter, a CCD image sensor, a custom ASIC (the Sanyo LA 7306M), and an audio cassette mechanism. This is mounted in a plastic housing with a battery compartment and an RF video modulator selectable to either North American television channel 3 or 4.
The result is a very sensitive digital IR camera. [28]: 32 While it is common to use a filter that blocks almost all visible light, the wavelength sensitivity of a digital camera without internal infrared blocking is such that a variety of artistic results can be obtained with more conventional filtration.
Introduced in 1985, this was the first one-piece camcorder using full-size VHS cassettes. The camera uses a 1/2-inch colour Newvicon tube with a consumer-grade lens barrel giving a 6 times zoom with macro, normal focussing down to 4 feet (1.2 metres), and a minimum illumination of 10 lux.
The camera is capable of recording in both HDV and DV formats, on MiniDV, though it's unable to record 24p in the DV format. The camera uses a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor, which is shared with other consumer high definition cameras manufactured by Canon, such as the HV10, HR10 and HG10. The replacement for the HV20, the HV30, was released in March 2008 ...
