Hd Cams And Formats

Interlaced refers to a format where fields are weaved together to form an image. In interlaced scanning, the image is displayed by alternating between odd and even lines, creating a complete picture. This format is commonly used in older televisions and displays.

HD (High Definition) begins at a level of resolution of 700 lines or more. This means that in order for a video or image to be considered HD, it must have a minimum resolution of 700 lines. This higher resolution allows for a clearer and more detailed picture, providing a more immersive viewing experience for the audience.

The correct answer includes a list of media formats mentioned by Mike, excluding the ones discussed in class (presumably referring to the P2 cards). The listed formats are digibeta, beta, VHS, SVHS, and DVCPro. These are all different types of video recording formats that were commonly used in the past, with each having its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of quality, storage capacity, and playback compatibility.

A 32G P2 card would hold 32 minutes of 1080p footage because the size of the card determines its storage capacity. Since the question specifically asks for the card size that can hold 32 minutes of footage, the 32G option is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Pansonic P2HD Varicam.

A good rule of thumb when calculating minutes vs. file size for tapeless formats and 1080 footage is that the file size is approximately 1G per minute. This means that for every minute of footage, the file size will be around 1 gigabyte. This estimation can be useful for determining the amount of storage space needed for a certain duration of footage or for estimating the transfer time of files.

A card wrangler is the person responsible for transferring the footage from the memory cards used in a camera to a computer during a shoot. They ensure that the footage is safely and efficiently transferred, organizing and managing the cards to ensure a smooth workflow. The term "card wrangler" implies the task of handling and managing the memory cards, making it the most suitable option for the person in charge of this task.

The term "720" in HD footage refers to the number of lines of resolution horizontally. HD footage with a resolution of 720 lines horizontally provides a high level of detail and clarity in the horizontal direction.

The $15,000 price tag was NOT a drawback to using the RED camera. This suggests that the camera was affordable and accessible, unlike the other options listed. The other drawbacks mentioned include limited recording time per card, the high cost of a prime lens, and the need for additional personnel.

Mike supports or has supported the shows "Biggest Loser," "Dallas Cowboys," "Dallas Mavericks," and "HDNet" with gear.
