LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES WITH THE PHANTOM 65: DESIGNED FOR CINEMATOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS
Combining a unique CMOS sensor design with powerful digital technologies to produce a coveted 65 mm format

Claimed as being not merely a replacement of film or video with a newer technology but rather as "a new way of seeing time", the Phantom 65 digital wide screen camera permits the user to experience control over shots in ways that have not been possible before.

What are some key features of the Phantom 65?
Smart tools
With 10 megapixel resolution, frame rates to 140 frames-per-second, shutter angle from 1 - 360 degrees and the ability to control frame rates in increments of 1 frame-per-second, the film maker has an increased variety of tools from which to choose.

Exposure time is no longer dependant on the camera's frame rate or limited to a few shutter openings. The Phantom 65 allows the exposure time to be set in increments of one microsecond. Applying shortened or lengthened exposure times results in achieving a variety of different visual outcomes. Use the adjustable shutter control to stop fast action for a sharp image, or to increase motion blur to soften an image and create a sense of movement.

Instant feedback
Unlike film production, the Phantom 65 provides an immediate view of the last take allowing the film maker to determine if a scene requires a re-shoot while the lighting, crew, and characters are still set and ready and therefore lowering production costs.

Preset aspect ratios
A selection of preset formats for classics 65 mm (2.28:1) cinematography as well as 2.35:1, 2.21:1 and 1.85:1. User selectable aspect rations can be set in 8-pixel vertical increments.

CMOS sensor
The CMOS sensor's 14-bit depth provides a dynamic range and colour universe that delivers images rivaling those obtained with film.

Download and storage
Images can be sent to a removable memory pack such as the 512 GB Phantom CineMag memory magazine that can hold about 30 minutes of images at 24 fps. There is, of course, a cost saving as storage on film is no longer necessary.

Images can be downloaded to a disk array either from the CineMag memory's docking station or directly from the cameras using Gigabit Ethernet and can be stored in Phantom's raw format, TIFF DPX, uncompressed Quick Time, AVI and a number of other formats.
