Infoseite // Which camera for professional reporting?



Frage von paris3:


Hello, I'm new in this forum and hope to help because I am not technically good enough familiar. I do as a journalist in France for several television German TV channel, ZDF usdas. So far this has worked quite well with Beta SP ... ZDF because now it has converted to 16:9 is now no more. I'm in the jungle of different camera formats now completely overwhelmed, and everyone tells me something else, or any French cameraman wants me weismachen that his camera is the best. From the quality of the ZDF would accept: Digital Beta, Beta SX, DVC Pro 50 - but not very widespread in France DV CAM. Now I read anywhere of AG-HPW500 or SONY PMW EX-1, etc, etc. My question is: Who is working professionally for big German TV channels and can give me a standard TV format recommend gladly accepted and will not BetaDigital is? What are the alternatives? Does the purchase price one from her interesting camera, which would satisfy the demands? What is important accessories for a professional reporting? Thanks for all the answers.

1. With a system to work is not only a system to use. Many turn to HDV, DVCProHD, XDCAM (HD) and play than anything else, such as Digibeta or DVCPRO50 from. A system is therefore not surprising that recording format and output format must match. Solve them yourself. With so many formats, which today makes no sense anymore. Therefore take the best HD Camera and always converted into the right format. Actually, the only format currently MPEG-2 Full Profiles in 4:2:2 and 50 Mbit / s. This is wonderful from a variety of HD formats generate.
2. Solve yourself of tapes as a recording and Ausspielformat. It's much faster to work with memory cards, because the data are immediately without real-time views available in the NLE.
Especially with the current contributions, it is practically his data on a server. Satellite transmission, ATM - nobody needs to post more. Far too expensive. A quick Internet access and the data as an MPEG-2 with 50 Mbit / s (exact specifications in the technical inspection guidelines available) to an FTP server to upload. This allows almost all broadcasters now. Yes, you have not a single tape competence.
3. Purchase SD no longer matters. Only HD equipment. Advantage: better picture quality with SD and future security. DVCAM is dead is dead DV Beta SP is dead and the others (Digibeta, DVCPRO50, IMX) are doomed to death. In five years there is only HD on the transmitters.
4. Learn about and interested in you for the format. Ignorance of technology was in vogue among editors, but is now in the age of VJs deadly.
5. Get familiar with your editing system. To convert files around now is normal and important!
6. My tip: the SonyEX1. If only HD on to memory cards and offers little money for an extremely good picture quality. To do this you need a new editing system (tip my MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2). You must always herunterkonvertieren before submitting to the server and upload or off. Approximately at a used-Digibeta VTR.

Antwort von Pianist:

You said: Digibeta, Beta SX and DVCPro50. Digibeta would you not, for whatever reason always synonymous. Beta SX not get you, because in Germany only a one-digit number of cameras sold, and they are all in possession of the home shopping channel QVC. Remains DVCPRO50. Ikegami currently sells some demo equipment, including an HL-V79W. The camcorder is between 4:3 and 16:9 switchable and will cost EUR 11,690, practically mocking cheap. They have a good lens, a good tripod (for example, Sachtler Video 18) and the usual accessories like Batteries, head light, etc.

So for around 20,000 euros can you best with well-preserved and used technology to equip you so s.sich for PAL TV ratios in the current top-operate.

If you want more than just news films, will of course be a Sound (SQN, Microphone, Angel, or wireless technology) is due.

BTW: It is not true that man with Beta SP 16:9 no can do. If you have a camera docked with BVV-5 you need to just in front the camera head against a switchable 16:9-exchange model, for example, an Ikegami HC-400W. When playing on a modern omnivorous or IMX Digibeta machine synonymous SP see excellent shots from. There can only be that you like the station then a little to cut the money. You need durchrechnen, which is more favorable.

Thus, the present day. There are various tests on the Internet, dozens s.Diskussionen in forums, dogs s.Fotos, exhibition equipment at trade fairs. Everything about the EX1.

Let's see whether it works and what is more for people interested in this camera. Now she is the first time on stock available. BTW: Currently running of Monday through Wednesday in each ZDF at 14.15 clock 30teilige the documentary "SOS Animal Babies." It was completely with four HD Editcams (worldwide) rotated because a HD-second recovery will take place. Only by eliminating the cost of tape was this series ever be economically feasible, say the producers.

Antwort von PowerMac:

I declare to me this way:

This is a different type of technology, their accompanying mentality from another period. Digibeta stuff was always expensive. It was synonymous well and was therefore of all that is something to be considered synonymous used. Only men were allowed to correct camera s.die Digibeta. The thing was expensive, so it must be synonymous still expensive and professional. Who once for 100,000 marks a major equipment bought, sold, they are not happy for 5000 euros. It is not true in the minds of older generation into that today's cameras are better and cheaper. In my experience, cavort the Digibeta value estimator mainly in the public service. Just last week I was with an older documentary cameraman of HR discussed. But even he sets a HDX-900 (DVCProHD) a. Personally, I could with SD no longer start. All company and want to get HD. HD brings higher quality reserves, synonymous when something of a transmitter only as SD will be sent. Even the public service broadcasters are in the not too distant time send HD. ARD / ZDF in the next two years. It is worthwhile in view of the above is no longer in SD to invest. A discarded match Digibeta grad still purely because if you are sure is still several years in SD and 16:9 production. Really I find it ludicrous that some people actually still a buy 970 new.

Antwort von paris3:

Thank you for the numerous, very insightful answers! Synonymous, I think that you are a journalist (in) today technically should know better, otherwise it would no longer ... Mostly, I completely cut contributions, isolated to the sender but synonymous material. Can you then - if it is synonymous expensive - the material from your computer back to tape off? And: What is with the storage capacity of the EX 1? Is it synonymous for longer matters, or rather news / magazine articles brief for? Merci!

Space


Antwort von PowerMac:

The EX1 uses memory cards and it has two slots. During the filming, you can be uninterrupted ever insert a new card and stop out. The capacity of a camera with memory cards is logically determined by the number of memory cards and their capacity.
You can with two tickets for updates or a live music video filming or 20 need two weeks if you go to Peru. Therefore, the camera itself suitable for every application. The question is, how much memory you can afford and want.

Antwort von FranzK:

Interesting.
Another question: Is it really true that the quality of the HD cams Digibetas in the shadows are? I found the quality of television reportage s and similar contributions always top. What is it with (lower) depth (eg as a stylistic device '), are the HD cams as synonymous superior?
And an EX1 as I hear now the measure of all (HD-) things?
Thank you for the insightful answers - Franz

Antwort von PowerMac:

No, television is the stuff HDW-900 is currently probably the measure of all things.

Antwort von PowerMac:

It was previously synonymous with inferior and / or cheaper cameras make good films. But this camera (EX1) is for damn good price. It actually builds s.das Concept of Panasonic DVX100/SonyPD170 to. These are the typical VJ cameras, how they are used daily. This follows the success of the Panasonic HVX200 and the SonyZ1, it's the HD successor, with the Z1 HDV recorded on tapes, the Panasonic but on memory cards. Both were good, with different strengths and weaknesses. Sonykopiert the HVX200 in some way and has almost the ultimate small camera built. The best of all at the same time and they can almost everything. Suitable for the latest posts, or synonymous for scenic shooting. The specifications are impressive and the handling is synonymous. Noteworthy are the large image converter and the right Optics. The Camera is a remarkably pleasing Evolution, not revolution. So far, the best thing ever in the price range. And from their HD, you can create great SD, which is synonymous with the quality of Digibeta can keep. For me, everything speaks for the Camera.

Can we not say that. If the recordings for all eternity no HD evaluation is planned, but what you s.sich today no longer expect, then remains at normalauflösenden cameras are still significantly better noise behavior when in low light rotates. You can with a DVW-790 easily rotate at +18 db at the high-resolution cameras, the more likely you should not do that yet. So if in doubt (and where possible) put more light. And you have much more precise, so a whole. More specifically, the sharpness, nor accurate exposure, even more careful about what everything in the picture to see and read.

Najaaaaaa - it stays with the small cameras, as always with the small cameras was: You will always laughed a little, you need to enforce and defend your professionalism. With a big camera you've been there much easier, especially in public spaces, as we have already written many times. And ultimately, the quality is only "fairly good", but can be technically and physically, are not of great quality s.die cameras heranreichen.

It really depends on the nature of your orders from the camera is suitable for you.

Of course, a shoulder camera is always great from his handling. This I see as synonymous. But for little money, there is just no little quality, but decent quality. You searched for a lot of money for good quality synonymous. About your Camera synonymous costs by a factor of ten more than EX1! The quality is not so much the better.
For sharpness and aperture, the EX1 offers synonymous, with a real manual Optics. Therefore, it is synonymous to "hot"!

Well, prices are easier to compare as soft factors such as the image quality or ease of use. Between the small and the big cameras are always some gaps remain, as is already the Manufacturer for. Most shows a direct comparison synonymous of the very significant differences. Too little of the new Sony camera, I can say nothing, because I never had in his hand and still not synonymous recordings of her have seen. There remain weaknesses Halbzoll chips, Long-GOP compression and a rather meager data. All this does not necessarily negatively impact on the final product, but the risk is higher than for a large camera. Headquarters Vulnerability is usually the viewfinders, which is simply not good enough to display the Picture really can be assessed. With my viewfinders cost almost exactly as much as the whole SonyEX1.

As an entrepreneur, you should always synonymous following invoice in mind to: What does it cost me, when certain images are not usable and the client so upset about is that a long-standing cooperation is terminated? As would be the much more expensive camera was considerably cheaper. That's why I voted for the plucked sound always been my SQN, synonymous with the sound to full control. You have now just 100 percent reliable quality.

Since I inthe past synonymous numerous fashion shows have filmed it, I know that this is especially a good Weitwinkligkeit asked.

The EX1 is therefore synonymous first choice here, because they are already without WW-converter, a starting focal length of 31.5 (converted to small-film) has.
A good converter lenses are the 22mm possible.

And because of the MPEG compression test you should not worry. The fairy tale ollen worse with motion images are available on the LCD playback equipment and a bad cut due to the encoder.
