Mi sembra ingombrante, meno bello e leggero del Merlin ( un “vero” stabilizzatore che svincola la massa della camera dal corpo) ma si tiene con entrambe le braccia, con un remote permette di operare muovendo un dito e puo essere usato come supporto disassato della fill light.

Il DVCPRO non è fatto per l’editing e supporta le ripetute generazioni assai peggio del codec di Avid o Cineform che sono oltretutto ottimizzati per le CPU invece che i DSP Embedded: richiedono molte meno risorse e sono very smooth:
http://www.cineform.com/technology/H…ysis051011.htm
http://www.cineform.com/technology/quality.htm
Esiste anche RayLight.
Naturalmente nulla può superare gli streaming non compressi di Aja, BlackMagic o Convergent Design. Quest’ulima brand ha poi appena messo in commercio unan vers del multibridge PCIe dual link che supporta 2K 4:4:4
Il datarate del 720p è più basso del DV, ovvero 2.9 MB/s
