I-MOVIX X10 UHD Cams For Cricket 4K

News Image
Chicago camera provider Fletcher Sports has provided I-MOVIX X10 UHD cameras in Australia and New Zealand to bring live, 4K coverage of the Cricket World Cup to theatre audiences in the host countries and in India.

Shooting at 1000fps during daylight, Fletcher's I-MOVIX systems are reconfigured to 300fps when the floodlights come on for the latter stages of games.

"The images are crisp, the replays are fantastic, and the X10 UHD slows down the action to a degree that can’t be achieved with any other camera," said Dan Grainge, Vice President, Fletcher Chicago Inc. "The changing light conditions during these games aren’t a problem. The camera is so flexible that it takes literally a couple of seconds to go from day to night operation.

Fletcher Sports is the largest worldwide user of I-MOVIX systems, with over twenty installed, including eight of the latest X10 UHD 4K cameras.

At the last SuperBowl, the company deployed five X10 UHD systems to shoot in 4K for the HD broadcast. The 4K shots were used to provide '4K Zoom' – the ability to frame a wider slice of the scene, then zoom in after the action to show the point of interest for the HD broadcast.

X10 UHD RF extends the operational flexibility of the X10 system by supporting wireless shooting in HD productions. For very high-frame rate ultra-slow motion in HD sports coverage, X10 UHD RF operates in USM (Ultra Slow Motion) mode to deliver instant replays of up to 3,000 FPS in 720p or up to 2,000 FPS in 1080i.

X10 UHD RF is the latest version of the X10 product line and combines features of the X10 technology with ultra HD image resolution and the RF transmission capability. Similarly to X10 UHD, the X10 UHD RF integrates the Vision Research’s Flex 4K high-speed camera, and can be configured fully integrated with industry-leading production servers.
