Panavision Genesis

Genesis™ Digital Camera System (Product One Sheet)

The result of many years of close collaboration with its technology partner Sony, Genesis™ combines high performance electronic imaging with world-renowned Primo® cine optics for unprecedented imaging versatility.

Genesis™ was designed with an “electronic intermediate” in mind, utilizing a unique gamma and colorimetry that enables seamless intercutting with most 35mm film emulsions. The nominal ISO T400 sensitivity can readily be extended to ISO 1600 for low light situations. Shutter angles from 0.8 to 360° and frame rates from 1 to 50fps will enable further compatibility with Panavision’s family of film cameras.

Features:
Super 35mm sized sensor
Equivalent to 35mm depth of field
Utilizes all existing spherical 35mm lenses, including PRIMO® Primes and Zooms
Size, weight and ergonomics suitable for hand-held, studio or SteadicamTM
Utilizes many of the existing Panaflex® accessories
Dockable Sony SRW-1 VTR (no cables)
1 to 50 frames per second
12.4 mega pixel, true RGB sensor (not Bayer pattern)
Greater dynamic range than available digital cameras
Nominal exposure index of 400
10 bit log per color output

這部Genesis望上去比ARRIFLEX D-20複雜得多,先前在邵氏片場聽Supertechno Telescopic Crane時曾經提過這部機。拿起價目表看看,它現租$27300,比租一部Plantium還要貴上$19000左右。我仍未看其中的詳情,希望這貴得有道理吧,更希望這是一個穩定的系統,不要像D-20般「仍在改良中」...有時間我會再更新的。
