Knight Rider (cont.)
Using a suction cup mount and c-stand arm, Barber was able to mount HD-RH1 virtually anywhere on the car itself. “The majority of the interior shots were accomplished with the Iconix,” Barber continued. “Shots of the car driving itself, the steering wheel turning, all of that kind of thing. The Iconix is such a small, light camera that we could put it anywhere—we would do mounts on the outside of the door as the car was driving, looking over the empty driver’s seat and into the passenger seat.”
In addition to the Iconix HD-RH1, the “Knight Rider” production team used the Sony F23, recording out to an SR1 deck. “Both the Iconix and the F23 record to an SR deck, so there were absolutely no compatibility issues for us,” Barber explained. “And the image quality was phenomenal—complete inter-cutability. We set up a rig in the trunk of the car with special slots for the SR1 decks and the Iconix controllers. We would just slip in the deck, and instead of all this grip gear, I had the black paper tape, so I could mount the Iconix exactly where I wanted it and we were able to go right away. The Iconix simplified our workflow, and it gave me creative freedom.” A first for a camera this size, the HD-RH1 system can capture and output video in both NTSC and PAL formats in all HD resolutions, including 720p, 1080i and 1080p while supporting frame rates of 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames-per-second (fps). The HD-RH1 incorporates an expansive array of features found only on top-of-the-line HD ENG and EFP camera systems while utilizing an innovative signal processing architecture. This POV camera system, which includes a very robust separate camera head and processing controller unit, is the smallest high performance HD camera in the industry. The lightweight HD-RH1 remote camera system is comprised of a 1.32” x 1.50” x 1.92” POV camera head weighing 2.5 oz.; a 3.5 lb. universal HDTV controller unit measuring 8.4” x 1.8” x 12”; power supply, and 3, 6 and 10 meter cables. | |
