Vision III Imaging, Inc....3D Lens Adapter

The new generation of Depth Enhanced Imaging Technology, like the v3 lens adapter from Vision III Imaging, Inc., when used together with HD video cameras and lenses, provide a visual transparency never achieved before, creating a dept of field perspective only available in stereoscopic 3D. These recently developed lens adapters or lenses, can be used in all areas of visual production, including HD television shows, HD commercials, HD cable programming, HD documentaries, HD movies, and HD sports.

I enjoyed taking a look at this short video. These scenes were taken using a RED ONE camera, with a v3 MOE PL-Mount Prime Lenses (24 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm  and 135 mm), shooting at
24 fps.

This new imaging technology, when added to camera lenses in a flypack system will, in my opinion, provide the best transparent HD video quality every achieved using a multi-camera switcher in a studio or on location.

What is a Flypack System?

A "Flypack System" is a portable system that consists of all the necessary gear to monitor, switch and record audio and video at any location using available power or a power generator.  It can be transported on an airplane, boat or truck to any location worldwide, and the set up time is usually less than one hour depending on the number of cameras and power accessibility.

In today's market the High Definition flypack system is becoming the industry preference because of how compact, lightweight and powerful it can be.  An example of a portable system that has become very popular is the NewTek TriCaster TCXD850 system. It incorporates up to 8 video inputs, two digital recorders, full monitoring, virtual sets and streaming capabilities, all in one box.

Consider that all these services are also available in half day rentals providing a low cost alternative to go live on the net, anytime, within your budget. This is ideal for companies in need of internet exposure with limited advertising budgets.

I believe the Newtek portable systems meet and exceed today's equipment performance requirements for on location recording and transmission; especially in the area of HD quality video, virtual sets and web streaming.

Who is this blog for and what is this blog about?

This blog is for anyone looking to buy or rent a low cost, self-contained, portable, High Definition video production system that can be easily transported to any location to record any event utilizing up to eight cameras, recorders and a complete communication package.

Small advertising companies, houses of worship, schools and any company using video as a resource in their daily performance to promote and sell their services and/or products, should be aware of the new generation of portable High Definition equipment that is now available.

Companies like Sony, Panasonic and JVC, are leaders in providing significant high quality, high definition equipment that rivals even their own top of the line cameras in quality and performance, while still keeping the cost down. Even companies like Cannon and Nikon are developing high performance cameras capable of video recordings in the 1080p realm, considered to be the best high definition recordings at an affordable cost.

These new generations of cameras all have a common denominator: they can easily be integrated into a "Flypack" system to provide high quality, multi-camera recordings anywhere it is needed.
