Iconix HD-RH1 Video Camera Allows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to Capture Killer ShotPoint-of-View Camera Enables CSI: Production to Acquire High Definition Shot for Highly Anticipated ‘Monster in the Box’ Episode
Santa Barbara, CA April 3, 2007 – Iconix Video, a leading developer of advanced high-definition camera systems and maker of the world’s smallest professional quality HD video camera, announced today the use of the Iconix HD-RH1 camera on the hit television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The camera was utilized in one of the series’ most highly anticipated episodes, “Monster in the Box,” which aired on CBS on February 15, 2007. One of CSI’s main storylines this season features a possible serial killer who leaves behind miniature models that are exact replicas of murder scenes. In “Monster in the Box,” lead character Gil Grissom, played by William Petersen, returns from a long sabbatical to finally open a box that had been sitting on his desk for over four months. Finding one of the serial killer’s replicas inside, a long tracking shot, made possible by the Iconix HD-RH1 camera, takes the viewer seemingly from inside the miniature, looking up at Grissom as he carries it down a hallway and through CSI headquarters. Featuring a camera head about the size of a golf ball, and weighing a mere two ounces, the remote head system of the Iconix HD-RH1 can keep pace with larger HD video cameras, yet is versatile enough to offer 35 different format and frame rate combinations. According to Michael Slovis, Director of Photography for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, there was no other way to complete the shot within the production timeframe and budget, and the Iconix offered such high quality data that it was indiscernible from footage shot on film.  |
