Speed Effects Achieved with Frame Rate Conversion
You can create a variety of speed effects by running sources recorded with the variable frame rate function through the frame rate converter. The AJ-FRC27 Frame Rate Converter extracts the effective frames from the input source, then outputs the data at the desired frame rate. It also includes a built-in line conversion function for converting to 1080/24p images.
Gamma Corrector for Easier Recording and Editing
Images recorded in cine gamma (F.REC) mode are flat and low in contrast, similar to a direct negative-to-positive reversal. This produces an excellent film-like quality, but it's difficult to check the images on a TV monitor. The AJ-GBX27 HD Gamma Corrector greatly improves acquisition and editing ease by giving F.REC images a telecine look for monitor use.
The AJ-GBX27 also makes it easier to produce TV broadcast clips from movie content.
Varicam Content for a Host of Uses
By freely combining the Varicam's 24/30-fps frame rate, gamma curves, and variable frame rate functions, you can create virtually any type of image content.
•Movie film use: Post-edited images can be printed onto film for cinema viewing. The resulting images have almost the same tonal quality and undercranking or overcranking speed effects as footage from a film camera, but with higher sensitivity and lower cost.
•HD theater use: Varicam sources are ideal for use in HD theaters that use a high-brightness, high-resolution HD projector. Because it does not use film, Varicam footage offers greater flexibility in program changes and inserts. It also offers low-cost production and use.
•Commercial and music clip use: The combination of Varicam and a nonlinear editing system offers many advantages, including film-like images, easy content changes, and low overall costs.
•TV program use: The 30-fps frame rate and conventional video gamma curve also let you create video-based TV programs.
