AMP VISUAL Purchases X10 System

AMP VISUAL TV Group, France's leading provider of broadcast services, has purchased X10, the new continuously streaming ultra-slow motion system from I-MOVIX.
The first of a new kind of "always-on" live ultra-slow motion solution, the X10 delivers groundbreaking 300fps real-time continuous streaming in 1080i.
The X10 greatly outstrips the performance of existing continuous slow-motion systems, which are restricted to three times slower than real time, or 75fps. Setting a new standard for performance and versatility in a variety of live broadcasting situations, the X10 can be used at 25-300fps in continuous mode, and it delivers ultra-slow motion of extraordinary quality.
"The I-MOVIX X10 solution provides ultra-slow motion with the ease and flexibility of a traditional broadcast camera — which is essential in all shooting sessions," said François Valadoux, chief technical officer of the AMP VISUAL TV Group. "I-MOVIX has developed a product that is fully integrated with the OB van, with features that are fully compatible with our setup, and easy–to-use functionalities such as the new joystick-equipped control panel, the OLED viewfinder, and the return video inputs. The X10 system is also 3D-ready and equipped for other future developments."
The X10 system is a fully broadcast-integrated solution and includes the latest high-speed HD camera, a camera control unit, an operational control panel, and a slow-motion remote panel (for use in ultra-slow-motion replay mode). X10 is used with the industry-standard EVS XT3 production server and LSM remote-control recorder. The camera connects to the camera control unit (CCU) via a SMPTE hybrid fiber cable, enabling long-distance optical fiber transmission and control through a single connection.
