A-cam dII - The camera loves you
On Friday the 12th of September 2008 Ikonoskop introduces it’s new digital motion picture camera: A-cam dII. A-cam dII offers professional image quality with high-resolution images, ready to use out of the box.
Why compress the reality?
That is what we asked ourself and decided not to do. A-cam dII is the only camera providing totally uncompressed images in RAW format. It means: Let the camera do the capturing and let the computer do the necessary processing. It's as simple as that.
What You See Is What You Get - High Definition
When recording in 1920 x 1080 pixels you can master directly to HD-cam, HD-cam SR or any other full HD-formats that you have available. If you need to print your footage to film you can use the native 1.78:1 aspect ratio without any loss of pixels. A-cam dII records what you need. Uncompressed. Period.
That is what we call WYSIWYG-HD.
The fastest memory in the world
A-cam dII records to the 80 GB Memory Cartridge developed by Ikonoskop. At 240MB/second it records at almost twice the speed of the second fastest memory card on the market.
One 80 GB Ikonoskop Memory Cartridge has a capacity of 15 minutes of footage, audio and metadata.
Like digital Super-16
A-cam dII's Super-16 sized sensor opens up for the use of Super-16 mm lenses. This enables you to use the best cine and prime lenses available. Our sensor and the technology around A-cam dII is built on the knowledge and experience from our much acclaimed A-cam SP-16 motion picture camera.
One camera - several lenses
As one of the few camera manufacturers in the world to support all the de-facto industry standards of lens mounts we believe that A-cam dII will be the camera for You. Use your Leica M, PL, C-mount and even IMS and continue to capture cinematic moments in a digital world.
Good looks
A-cam dII is small, light and versatile with an appealing ergonomic design. To us, function has to team up with design to even be considered.
A film camera must never be intimidating, not to the user and not to the object. A-cam dII weighs less than 1.5 kilos and is arguably the smallest professional digital motion picture camera on the market. A-cam dII is designed for people. And tripods.
Ikonoskop
A-cam dII is brought to you by Ikonoskop, the innovators behind the A-cam SP-16. With a proven track record as one of the world's most innovative and experimental design-driven camera manufacturers.
