Field also used the Iconix during the Kennedy Center Honors telecast, which aired on CBS last December. The HD-RH1 camera system was employed during the tribute to Leon Fleisher to capture reverse over-the-hand shots of pianist Jonathan Biss as he performed. “For the Kennedy Center Honors, we used a suction cup to mount the camera to a very expensive piano,” Field explained. “With such a prestigious stage event, we work hard to ensure that the cameras are inconspicuous. The Iconix allowed us to achieve all that, and still get shots otherwise not possible for this type of performance.”
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. | |
