High Definition Update - Paul Wheeler Interview
In July 2005, I wrote an E-Zine with the heading " high-definition - When? & Quot; At the time, we have seen little demand for equipment HDCAM abandon some clients in the United States, seven months later, the situation has changed dramatically. We added two Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM camcorders (Sony at the top of the line HDCAM cameras for television and / or film) on our stock in January 2006 because of growing demand, and see this as the beginning of a trend. And we have just taken an order for multiple cameras to shoot in March with six HDW-F900s.
Interview With Paul Wheeler - Available Soon DVD
With to this increase in demand, we recently hired Paul Wheeler BSC, is an experienced film and digital cinematographer who wrote the book & quot;, high-resolution and 24 Cinematography P & quot; to run a number of seminars for us. While he was here, I am with him. We are going to provide the DVD, with the editing of the interview. If you want one, contact me at cal@procamtv.com.
BBC - Theatre and the High Definition
One of my first questions was about Paul, apparently sudden leap in demand for HDCAM. Paul responds: " Five years ago, the BBC said within two years all of them will record a high-definition. Three months ago, they said everything that we record for a period of two years will be on high-definition so trying to predict what will happen, it is very difficult. BBC who wish to move in this direction have not yet moved as quickly as they want. But it is not a technical problem. This is a problem with convince producers that the use of the new technology is safe. And I think this year (2005), we have only begun to see confidence in the system, and I very much hope that we will now see a cascade effect. In cases where a few very expensive period drama has been done to HD, they look exactly like a very expensive period drama. And that for me is a great starting point, which I hope would have happened a couple of years ago ".
Sky TV and High Definition
Sky TV also reported that they are on track to launch HDTV plans in 2006. BSkyB Chief Operating Officer, Richard Freudenstein, said recently that the sharp improvement in image quality will allow BSkyB achieve its goal of ten million customers in 2010. " innovations and leadership are at the heart of the Sky brand & quot;, he said. " By introducing HDTV, our goal is to raise the bar again & quot;. BSkyB expects that the sale " standard HD " TVs will accelerate as equipment prices continue to fall and the availability of HDTV programming and the High grows.
Nonfiction Definition
Paul said increased use of HD in documentary and factual programming has been stronger than in drama. " We had more actual programming in HD, we have fiction, and I think that the main drive is the fact that you can sell it round the world. You can only sell real drama, if you make it in England to the English nation, but you can change the commentary to the actual language very easily, and I think that there are more opportunities for the International Sale of work or documentary evidence, therefore, the benefits , transparency in the transition from whatever you shot him in any want to sell it, are even more advantages ".
Sony HVR-Z1 (HDV) against Digital Betacam
The most popular high-resolution camera is Sony HVR-Z1. It is intended for low-shoots and camera to replace the Sony DSR-PD170P. The main advantage is the Z1 has a wide screen so smart shoots true wide screen. In PD170P has a wide screen setting, but because it has a 4:3 chip this option produces worse images on the Z1. Most of our customers, a record in DVCAM, rather than setting HDV when they use Z1 and get excellent results.
In some of the articles I saw Z1 compared with Sony DVW-790WSP camera with picture quality similar conclusion. According to Paul: " If we take the output directly from the Z-1 and stick it in a decent monitor, and do the same in the B-channel Digi-Beta, and you flick between the two you will be quite impressive. But there are other questions as to why you chose the chamber. One is the recording format and Digi-Beta-format significantly more stable and reliable than the M-2 Peg compression used in the process of HDV ". This, Paul said, especially in post production concern, especially if you are doing & quot; just a little post production ".
The other matters to be taken into account are the actual lens and reliability of the camera. The lens on a Digi-Beta is a far more universal and faster response than the lens on the Z1 and if you are shooting slightly disadvantaged 790 performed far sterner stuff.
Paul " view is that & quot; think From (in the Z1), as a replacement for your PD170, but I do not think that this is as a replacement for the highly skilled, very reliable, very strong record in the process Digi-Beta. This is not ".

Summary
High definition, of course here. I have never seen the format took off so quickly. We have a marked increase in demand in January and interest, and requests are growing. I encourage you to learn as much as possible about High Definition cameras available, the range settings, you can shoot at that and accessories normally required. The July E-Zine covers much of this, Paul Wheeler DVD covers more, and the next E-Zine will cover usually required accessories.
Until then, happy shooting!
