UltraMedia™
The system of choice around the world
Worlds’
Leading Electronic Aerial Camera System
 UltraMedia
is the latest in an award winning series of ultra high performance aerial
broadcast camera systems from FLIR Systems. UltraMedia is totally digital
and uses the industry standard Sony BVP-T70 or BVP-550 camera. Mated to the Sony
camera is a 72x Fujinon lens (36:1 with x2 extender) for really close shots and
the ability to standoff when air traffic control limits your air crew’s access
to the scene of broadcast events. Longer focal lengths require better stability
and the UltraMedia delivers with a major advance in stabilization technology
that means the image your audience sees is virtually jitter free even at maximum
zoom.
 | INCREASED
MAGNIFICATION – GREATER STANDOFF DISTANCES |
| Long

extended focal length capabilities offer nearly a 50% increase in image
magnification over competing systems -- for capture of high impact footage
from even greater altitudes. |
| UNPRECEDENTED
STABILIZATION – SUPERIOR IMAGES |
| <10
micro radians stability peak (<5 micro radians rms.) Advancements
to FLIR’s proprietary 5-axis gyro-stabilized gimbal design, the
UltraMedia provides ultra-stable, ultra-crisp images far superior to any
other system in its class in the world. |
| PROVEN
PERFORMANCE – UNMATCHED SUPPORT |
 Backed
by 20 years of experience, FLIR Systems Ultra Media products have earned a
reputation for outstanding performance and reliability and they have become the
system of choice for broadcasters throughout the United States. FLIR technology
matched with Flying Pictures’ operational experience provides a solution that
is now renowned throughout the world for a level of service and support that
leads the industry.
Sony BVP-550 DSP
Camera
The
BVP-550 can connect to a PC for remote computer diagnostics and status display.
An "integrated imaging capsule" lets users easily swap out the
4:3-aspect-ratio CCD imager FIT block, replacing it with a 16:9 block.
The
Broadcast/Production
Camera housed in the UltraMedia employs
a new Power HAD CCD imager and a 12-bit advanced DSP. Improved dynamic range and
lower noise expand picture-making capabilities. Increased control over image
enhancement allows picture sharpness to be optimized for all forms of scene
content. More flexible control of overexposed pictures allows for creative and
artistic adjustments.
This
is the perfect camera for the freelance shooter who plans for the new DTV era:
for news gathering and documentaries, it makes superb pictures in low light, and
for production it combines this same high quality picture capture with an
extended range of creative video controls. It is available as standard 4:3 or
16:9 widescreen.

The
Digital Television (DTV) reality starts with field acquisition. The "Studio
Quality" delivery of DTV to the home requires that the images be captured
at the highest possible quality level.
Acquisition
systems for DTV have several unique requirements. News production requires
camcorders with switchable aspect ratios and differing compression methodology;
studio/OB cameras require multiple aspect, multiple format output capability;
field production camera systems must support formats that excel in
multi-generation performance. Sony's acquisition systems are also task-oriented,
feature low compression, and are 4:2:2 and 4:1:1 systems. The dream of high
definition systems at an affordable cost is now a reality, as is the need for
these systems to work in an PAL/NTSC/SDTV environment.
Production
Sony
complements the enormous image-making potential of our post production systems
by offering the most complete line-up of digital and analog camcorders and
portable acquisition systems available. For the maximum creative freedom in
either HDTV or SDTV, Sony has the right imaging tools to fit your production
requirements.
