BobbiPlett Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hello, i just found out that there will be a new camerasystem from Sharp: http://www.sharp-world.com/corporate/news/171107_2.html The interesting thing to me is, that the camcorder will have a MADI audio input? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MADI So I really wonder why a camera should have an input like this? Who records more than 50 channels in one camera? Anybody knows why to use this input? What are use cases? Perhaps it is for big sport events? Thanks for your answers and greetings from germany.

chrismedr Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 my understanding is that this camera was pretty much specially designed for the olympics in japan (they certainly won't replace ARRI for feature films and the camera is very expensive). NHK decided to film the olympics in 8K and so far there are not many cameras out there that are really suitable for 8K real-time transmission. So I guess the audio inputs/outputs were chosen with that focus in mind as well. whether or not it makes sense to do sports broadcast in 8K is another matter, usually with fast motion there is more to gain with higher frame rates due to motion blur (8K at 30fps results in the same amount of data as 4K at 120fps).

IronFilm Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Wonder if the 8K is..... Sharp? (I'll let myself out now....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilagaana Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Sharp is $70k+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 What's also interesting: An ENG style camera with super 35 sensor instead of 2/3. Did the popularity of FS7 and Amira influence the developers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's rather that cramming 8K on a 2/3" size sensor would result in pretty poor sensitivity and dynamic range due to the tiny pixels. also developing lenses for that sounds like a huge challenge. focusing an 8K image at a sports event with super35 depth of field will be fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
