Remote POV applications = ProHD for all seasons
More and more, remote TV cameras are an important part of local news, as a major
station in a major market may operate a dozen or more fixed remote locations for
traffic and weather. Do the ProHD camcorders fit that bill? Yes indeed. Although
the ProHD models are camcorders and not just cameras, these models are ideally
suited for POV applications, for the following reasons:
Attractive price-performance ratio
Full HD resolution native capture of 1280x720
Excellent capture of fast freeway traffic with 60 frame progressive
Streaming output of compressed broadcast quality HD over 1394
Compressed HD signal is only 20Mbps
Remote control capability of lens and camera functions
Interchangeable lenses –right lens for the application
Small and light weight enough for mounting in housing
1394-to-ASI and 1394-to-IP streaming converters available
The TrollCam HD Connection. Troll Systems, a leading supplier of complete
camera/housing/remote control systems, offers the TrollCam HD system
