The UHD model uses a 4/3-inch custom sensor with a global shutter and CIS’ own Clairvu image processing engine (FPGA) “that ensures image quality that matches traditional three-chip broadcast cameras,” claimed Sean Ward, OEM sales manager, ClearView Imaging, European distributor for CIS. Its existing VCC-HD1 HD camera is often used as a goal or stump cam, and the UHD camera will be aimed at the same market, although it will be about twice the size (the prototype was larger again), making it about the same size as the VCC-HD10/30ZM (the model with built in 10x or 30x zoom lens).

This year there were several new cameras, numerous lights and camera support products, and a variety of other equipment making their debuts, many of them suitable for use in sports production.ĬlearView Imaging was showing a prototype of a new miniature Ultra HD camera from CIS, which should be available by June. Broadcast Video Expo at London ExCeL has become so well established, not only as the main show in the UK but also as one of Europe’s main shows, that exhibitors are increasingly likely to launch new products there rather than wait for NAB.
