Precautions on Handling This product has been designed with safety well concerned; however, all electrical appliances may cause electrocution accidents or equipment damage if used in an inappropriate manner, or under unsuitable conditions. Therefore, please follow the instructions on handling this product, listed below: (1) Do not remove the cover or disassemble unless absolutely necessary, to prevent damage and electrocution. (2) Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use. Leaving the POWER switch ON when not in use may result in not only the battery running out, but also equipment damage or accidents when using an AC pack. (3) Remove the battery from the camera if not using the camera for a long time. The battery runs out if left inserted in the equipment, even if it is not used. (4) Do not expose the camera to a strong vibration or shock. A strong vibration or shock may cause equipment damage. (5) Do not lift or hold the camera by the projection parts. Lifting or holding the camera by the viewfinder or the lens causes the center of gravity of the camera to become unstable so you may drop it. Moreover, the connection parts between the camera and the viewfinder, or the camera and the lens may be exposed to unnecessary pressure, which may cause equipment damage. (6) Always install the accessories after placing the camera on a fixed position. When installing a lens or microphone, fix the camera on a stable place (e.g. on a table, a tripod, etc.), to make the installation easier and to prevent dropping the equipment. (7) Avoid use or storage in the following conditions: • Extremely high/low temperature • High humidity • Strong magnetic field • In direct sunlight for a long time, or near a heater • In rain without the rain cover • Exposed to water drops/spray (8) Avoid moving the equipment rapidly from an extremely cold place to a warm place. Condensation may occur in the CCD part. (9) When shooting an important scene, always hold a trial in advance to check the videotaping and recording. (10) Regarding the Lithium Battery • Do not use an unspecified battery. • Explosion or liquid leak of the battery may cause fire or injury. When changing or discarding a battery, please contact Ikegami's sales or operation quarters. (11) Wipe the dirt/dust off the camera using a dry, soft cloth. If the stain is hard, soak the cloth with water or detergent, wring well, and wipe. If you use detergent, wipe off the detergent with a cloth that was soaked in just water and wrung well. When wiping, always turn the power off, and take care not to put water in the camera. 4. Regular Maintenance Recommended This product includes parts that wears out and have a limited life even in proper use or storage. Therefore, regular maintenance (once every 3 years or 8000 hours use) is recommended to extend the life and safe use of this product for a long time. Please contact Ikegami sales and service centers or Techno Ikegami Co., Ltd. for the regular maintenance and repair of our products.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • Videography Feature Advances in Tapeless Acquisition by James
    Advances in Tapeless Acquisition Page 1 of 3 Videography Feature Advances in Tapeless Acquisition By James Careless Dec 26, 2005, 13:37 It's been 10 years since Ikegami and Avid Technology demonstrated the revolutionary Editcam FieldPak at NAB 1995. A year later, Ikegami showed the FieldPak integrated into its DNR Dockable Disk Recorder, the first non-tape recording unit designed to connect directly to professional video cameras. Soon after came the DNS-101 single-piece camcorder, recalls José Rosado, Ikegami's Editcam product manager. "Although it represented a quantum leap in existing technology and a harbinger of future broadcast engineering trends, the technology needed several more years of refinement before it could be adopted by broadcasters. These units were replaced by the DNS-201W camcorder and the DNR-20 docking recorder." Ikegami has continued to improve its product line, but it's no longer alone in the tapeless tech field. Companies including Hitachi, Panasonic, and Sony have developed and are now selling their own tapeless recording systems. These systems are gaining interest from professionals. Bob Ott, vice president of marketing for Sony optical and network products, says the company's XDCAM tapeless solution has already sold more than 8,000 units worldwide. It can be argued that as demand for tapeless solutions increases, the days of videotape supremacy grow shorter. Here's a rundown of how a number of manufacturers are addressing the needs of video professionals with tapeless technologies. Focus on Hard Disk Focus Enhancements' first HDD video recording system, the FireStore FS-1, hit the industry in 2001.

    NOT MEASUREMENT SENSITIVE National Aeronautics and NASA-STD-2818 Space Administration June 10, 2015 DIGITAL TELEVISION STANDARDS for NASA Version 4.0 NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD FOREWORD This standard is approved for use by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters and all NASA Centers and is intended to provide a common framework for consistent practices across NASA programs. It was originally developed by the NASA Digital Television Working Group (now part of the NASA Imagery Experts Group) and by the NASA Office of the Chief Information Officer, Architecture and Infrastructure Division, to assist the development and implementation of Digital Television (DTV) systems that support the Agency. Since the 1980s, the technology and equipment used for the acquisition, contribution, production and distribution of television has been moving from the traditional world of analog signals, recording formats and signal processing into the digital realm. Digital video systems, starting with cameras and recorders for image acquisition, through systems for program contribution and production, to final signal distribution are now in use in most television facilities. The commencement of commercial terrestrial DTV broadcasting in October of 1998 signified the initial availability of end-to-end DTV capability in the United States. This culminated with the end of full power analog broadcasting in June of 2009. The U.S. standard for terrestrial DTV broadcasting established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is based on work originally recorded in document A/53 prepared by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) in 1996. In addition to specifying a method for broadcasting a digital representation of the traditional U.S.
