micro2 – Next-Generation Miniaturized HDTV Camera

The micro2 camera represents the next evolutionary step from the micro: it is based on a new sensor and uses improved image editing software for even better picture quality. Thanks to HighProfile compression, its built-in H.264 encoder provides high-quality video suitable for broadcast. Moreover, it can be seamlessly integrated into a range of production workflows via a DVB-ASI interface (SMPTE310, EN50083-9). The camera supports analog as well as digital synchronization, which makes it ideal for 3D and panoramic shots.
