How long can I record with my HS-2?
The image in my monitor appears green:
This happens when the monitor is connected to the “RAW Out 1 / 2” as the camera is displaying the RAW signal. Connect monitor to the “HD-SDI out 1/ 2” for the standard high-quality view.
My lens will not connect to the camera mount:
This can occur if you attempt to use an incorrect IMS, or non IMS mount lens.
Check and ensure the correct IMS mount for your specific lens. An IMS mount must be used even with PL mount lenses, or you risk damaging the sensor.
Sensor Size in Pixels / millimeters:
31,36 diagonal / 22,18 x 22,18 mm
Pixel Size (V x H)?
0,011 x 0,011 mm (square Pixel)
Active sensor area (maximum recordable area):
2016 x 2016 pixels max. recording in IT mode. 2048 x 1536 pixel max. recording over HD SDI. To achieve 2048 pixels, the HD SDI format will be framed by vertical black bars on both the left and right sides.
Native color balance of the sensor:
Is it possible to get 4:4:4 through HD-SDI?
No, 4:2:2 is the only output available through HD-SDI.
Are there issues of flicker or rainbow effects in the viewfinder?
We have not received any complaints in use, or found any of these negative effects in our testing. However, you may find them appearing in playback if you shoot using non flicker-free lighting.
Can the camera do ramps and can they be compensated for by shutter speed?
There is no official RAMP implementation. Consequently, it is not possible to change the frame rate during recording. We recommend ramping during postproduction.
Is the sensor protected against damage from bright lights or lasers?
No. Although the camera does have an infrared / low-pass filter in front of the sensor, it will not protect it from damage direct bright lights or lasers. We advise that you never leave the camera without a body or lens cap, and that you shade the sensor changing lenses.
Is the camera able to run in post trigger mode? (e.g. continuously record in a loop to the memory)
Yes, the camera actually has 5 different trigger modes:
- „Ringbuffer“ – This is the one you are asking for. (Continuously record in a loop to the internal memory)
- „Sequence“ – The camera begins to record with pressing „REC“ – and stopps automatically when RAM is full
- „70/30 trigger“
- „50/50 trigger“
- „30/70 trigger“
3 - 5 are mixtures of sequence, ringbuffer and center trigger.
Are there any overheating issues?
We had no problems with overheating at set. The camera uses an active cooling system. To get the best image quality the sensor should have a temperature of 50°C. The max. temperature inside the camera is about 60°C.
If sensor or other electronic parts reach this temperature you will get a red-blinking information in the Handunit.
To avoid overheating on hot sets, shadow the camera from direct light and / or use a fan.
Have there been any issues on with condensation on the sensor / filter in humid conditions?
Not in our experiences. We did not have that much humid conditions to face problems with that.
Does the camera support Cooke ipins or Arri LDS?
The camera does not support this function.
How does a Global Shutter work?
Global Shutter means that the pixels are exposed at the same time. Therefore no distortions occur in case of quick movements (eg Panning).
(No Rolling Shutter Effects!)
Is HD Playback right after recording possible?
Yes, it is possible. Due to the fact that the RAW Data stream will be debayered into a HD stream via FPGA technology which hasn’t any computing time. |
