Data on a CineMag can be downloaded via a Phantom CineStation IV, or the camera,
using 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet. The 10Gb Ethernet transfers data at up to 600 MB/second on
optimized systems.
Cine Raw files are compatible with many of the video industry’s top editing programs, or
they can be converted to a variety of formats (h264.mp4, Apple ProRes.mov, avi, tiff, etc.)
using PCC software with the camera.
IMAGE MONITORING & VIDEO OUTPUTS
Phantom UHS camera models have two 1.5G HD-SDI outputs on the rear of the camera and
a component video/12V power viewfinder output on the side of the camera. The systems
supported are: 720p at 50, 59.9, 60 Hz, 1080p (also psf and i) at 23.9, 24, 25, 29.9, 30. These
make it easy to use a small on-camera monitor or viewfinder for composing the shot and
watching a smooth playback without being tethered to a computer.
The feed from the video outputs are identical and can show either live video or playback.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Programmable I/O: Assign and define signal parameters. See Programmable I/O Signal
Architecture section for more information.
Image-Based Auto-Trigger (IBAT): Trigger the camera (or a number of connected
cameras) from motion detected within the live image.
Multi-Cine: Support for up to 63 partitions.
Burst Mode: Generate a precise number of frames with every frame sync pulse.
Quiet Fans: Turns the fans off to eliminate vibration.
Continuous Recording: Automatically and continuously saves Cines to external storage.
10Gb Ethernet: 10GBase-T (RJ45) Ethernet port for very fast data transfer.
Exposure in PIV Mode: Also known as Shutter Off Mode, Exposure in PIV turns off the
shutter to maximize achievable exposure with minimal frame overhead.
P12L: The P12L feature is for situations where 12 linear bits of an image need to be
downloaded. For most situations, the standard 10-bit packed method is sufficient, has no
visible data loss and is significantly faster to download.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a network protocol enabling the automatic
assignment of IP addresses when using a DHCP router.
