Capturing stunning, live
sporting shots |
Filming at the Superbowl |
The
use of Vision Research’s digital high-speed cameras at many
of the world’s most prestigious and highest-profile sporting
events is a testament to the performance and reliability
of the camera technology. With the capability of recording
at incredible speeds at high-definition resolutions, Vision Research’s
digital high-speed cameras’ ultra-slow-motion replay far exceeds
the capability of traditional slow-motion cameras.
The tremendous skill of professional athletes is magnified when
seen in ultra-slow motion. The technology captures stunning never-before-seen
details such as the ripple of an athlete’s muscles, the intensity
of concentration in an athlete’s eyes, or the path of a water
droplet from a swimmer’s gliding stroke. |
