Johannesburg based Sasani Studios has purchased six full high definition (HD) Grass Valley LDK 8000 camera chains with stereoscopic 3D capability, as well as a substantial HD routing system to link to the control rooms.
Says Andre Vorster, Sasani Studios senior system engineer: “The camera has the ability to support multiple HD formats natively and incorporates a flexible solution for both fiber and triax connectivity. LDK 8000 HD cameras ensure precise picture matching, rich production values and uncompromised technical quality.’
The LDK 8000 incorporates Grass Valley’s unique HD Dynamic Pixel Management (DPM™+) imaging technology, which features three 9.2 million pixel imagers. By manipulating the imagers at a sub-pixel level, the camera can produce native full resolution images for any HD acquisition format, with a consistent pin-sharp resolution, while offering a very high sensitivity.
