Proton Camera Innovations Launches PROTON FLEX

News Image
As part of a suite of new releases being unveiled at IBC 2024 by German start up Proton Camera Innovations (Booth 11.A06), the company has launched its PROTON FLEX, a miniaturised camera that uses a flexible design to maximise performance in any live production that requires heat and space management.

The PROTON FLEX has an overall profile which measures just 28mm x 28mm and weighs just 37g, and which separates the lens from the main body using a flexible flat ribbon cable. By separating the lens with the sensor on one side from the video processing chip with the power supply on the other side, the PROTON FLEX achieves the best performance from both elements, whilst maintaining a discreet profile that can be flexibly integrated in a range of operational contexts. For instance, in the case of motor sports and helmet-mounted applications, the divided lens/video processing construction allows for better weight distribution, whilst for applications where operational temperatures are a concern, the PROTON FLEX can withstand like similar cameras outside temperatures of up to 75°C. In essence, the PROTON FLEX provides a level of operational flexibility which significantly increases the creative potential of the camera, offering broadcast operators options limited only by their imagination.

All of this comes with no compromise to visual clarity and sharpness. The standard lens, that can be easily replaced by other lenses, offers a 97°-degree view, whilst the 12-bit sensor and camera body operate to deliver exceptional image quality. The PROTON FLEX incorporates two separate PCBs (Printed Chip Boards), leveraging the power of a VEGA microprocessor to deliver crisp Full-HD 1080p images.

The PROTON FLEX - like the other members of the Proton line-up - is ideally suited to live broadcast with a particular applicability in sports productions; whilst it has been designed to accommodate environments where weight distribution, reduced space and temperature are an issue, its counterparts – the PROTON RAIN and original PROTON CAM – are designed to accommodate weather-sensitive/durability-centered contexts and size-sensitive applications respectively, with the original PROTON CAM taking the title of smallest camera currently available on the broadcast market. In this way, the range as-a-whole provides both flexibility and specificity, allowing users to tailor their camera choice to their exact needs, and innovate in previously unexplored creative contexts and spaces.
