High Def takes Flight at Image Central
Videoscope congratulates
Image
Central and Image Pacific
on acquiring a top line High Definition Flight
Pack.
The versatile four camera flight pack provides all the technology for a full
HD production shoot, packed into ten road cases.
The Flight Pack was engineered by Sony of Canada Systems Integration Group
under Project Manager, Les Lum and built at Videoscope by our Engineering
Department Staff. |
 |
|
The Flight Pack Includes:
* four Sony HDC-1550 multi-format HDTV cameras with
* four Fujinon ENG/EFP HDTV lenses: super wide angle, wide-angle ENG lens,
standard ENG style lens,
HD telephoto lens,
* four Sony HDW-1800 HDCAM™ decks
* EVS HD broadcast server
* a 46-inch Sony KDL46XBR2 HD LCD panel
* fed by an Evertz Multi Viewer, which can show up to 12 sources
simultaneously plus camera tallies.
(Program, Preview,4 cameras, 4 decks,
plus 2 extra sources.)
* a FOR-A HANABI HVS-1000HS HD/SD production switcher
* three FOR-A FA-9000 HD/SD signal processors
When Image Pacific first brought their request to build an HD Flight Pack to
Videoscope Sales Rep Gord Haas, he felt Sony should be directly involved to
ensure full equipment compatibility. He brought in third party equipment as
required and offered the services of our own Engineering Department to put
it all together.

For three weeks, under the watchful eye of Videoscope Project Manager, Lee
Burke, the Videoscope conference room became a jumble of the latest HD
products, road cases, installation technicians, tools and several thousand
feet of cable.
Out of this, a flight pack emerged!
To provide the maximum flexibility, each ECM
road case has extensive patch bays for video and audio built into the back.
Installation, wiring, testing, and commissioning was on a tight schedule
with the first rental date booked while the flight pack was still in pieces.
Delivered on time, and fully tested, the Flight Pack had its first
performance in a club on Queen Street West in Toronto.
Flight Pack One is already flying around Canada and
running smoothly.

Image Pacific anticipates a growing demand for HD
field production in Vancouver and Toronto, for both the movie and broadcast
industries.
There are future plans for a second HD flight pack and an HD mobile truck as well. |

Image Pacific

video documentaries and film featurettes,
