MULTI-STANDARD COMPLIANT PHANTOM HD GOLD: COMBINING EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY WITH HIGH SPEED RECORDING
Has become the standard in Film and Television for extreme slo-mo.

Combining the visual quality of high-definition imaging with the high frame rates of specialty cameras, the Phantom HD GOLD makes possible impressive results using a 35mm field depth either at HD or 2K resolutions.

Whether your imaging needs encompass broadcasts of rapidly moving sports events, the production of commercials, a music video, an award-winning documentary, monitoring a rocket launch, or possibly you are an innovative cinematographer working on a special film project that needs "a new look" to tell the story, the flexibility and virtually limitless control of the Phantom HD GOLD will provide you with unforgettable footage.

Smart Tools
Managing Frame rates to produce different visual effects: The Phantom HD GOLD allows the user to select any frame rate from 1 to 1,000 fps in increments of one frame-per-second at HD resolution. Incrementing the frame rate by a small amount, moves the scene to a slightly future viewpoint. Incrementing the frame rate by a larger amount moves the scene to some long passing moment in time.

Managing the shutter speed: Having a variable-to-1/500,000-second shutter speed and a radically adjustable framing rate, the user has seamless control of the duration, speed and time of a story element.

Managing the output: The Phantom HD GOLD can be configured for "live" broadcast or studio production and has a continuous video output that includes HD (720p, 1080p, 1080i) standards. Multiple triggering and recording modes can also be tailored to your application.

Choosing the storage media: The Phantom HD GOLD is available with a choice of storage media, using:
*** 8, 16 or 32 Gigabytes of internal memory
*** hot-swappable non-volatile solid state recorders -- the Phantom CineMags® with a capacity of 256 or 512 Gigabytes each is uniue to the market because of its compact size and light weight.
