Global Shutter camera sensors are nothing new to the broadcast proAV industry, however, when it comes to capturing ultra-fast motion within the field-of-view, motion anomalies become more of a challenge. Global Shutter sensors perform better in these environments as all pixels are exposed simultaneously. Rolling Shutter sensors roll through the sensor array in sequence (usually top to bottom) which can cause warping or motion blur in extreme speed environments. This is not to say one is better than the other, each play a role and have a purpose in video production.
Marshall has announced the launch of the Marshall CV568 and CV368 camera models with applicable feature sets for sportscast, newscast, racing, eSports, OB vans, or for any speed or low-light conditions.
The CV568 (pictured above) is a miniature HD POV camera with Global Shutter and Genlock Sync features. Built around a 1/1.8″ Sony global sensor with 25% larger pixels and interchangeable M12 lens mount (comes with a 4.4mm – 84°), the CV568 features tri-level sync which allows multiple cameras to be plugged into HD workflows already in sync (genlock), allowing for seamless transitions between cameras with minimal amount of delay.
Other features include:
- Simultaneous HDMI & 3GSDI outputs
- Interchangeable M12 Lenses – comes with a 4.4mm (84°)
- Global Shutter with Tri-Level Sync (Genlock)
- SMPTE 424M (2.97Gbps) – 3GSDI: 1920x1080p @ 50, 59.94, 60fps
- SMPTE 292M (1.485Gbps) – HDSDI: 1920x1080p @ 23.97, 24, 25, 29.97, 30fps; 1920x1080i @ 50, 59.94, 60fps; 1280x720p @ 50, 59.94, 60fps
- Low Light sensitivity (0.05 Lux) with ability to capture IR wavelengths
- Image Mirror/Flip, Digital Zoom, Digital Image Stabilizer
- Microphone/Line Level input with 2.5V Mic bias
Meanwhile, the CV368 (pictured below) features:
- Simultaneous HDMI & 3GSDI outputs
- Flexible CS/C Lens Mount (lens sold separately)
- Global Shutter with Tri-Level Sync (Genlock)
- SMPTE 424M (2.97Gbps) – 3GSDI: 1920x1080p @ 50, 59.94, 60fps
- SMPTE 292M (1.485Gbps) – HDSDI: 1920x1080p @ 23.97, 24, 25, 29.97, 30fps; 1920x1080i @ 50, 59.94, 60fps; 1280x720p @ 50, 59.94, 60fps
- Low Light sensitivity (0.05 Lux) with ability to capture IR wavelengths
- Image Mirror/Flip, Digital Zoom, Digital Image Stabilizer
