Dalsa stunned the digital cinema world at with its introduction of Origin, a new high resolution digital cinema camera a few months ago at NAB 2003. DMN's Jack Lloyd takes a closer look at the budding behemoth, talking with Dalsa Origin's creators and finding out more about this promising new development. Will this be the defining technology of digital cinema?
Despite the fact the camera (see photo) was little more than a work in progress and that its output wasn't seen on a monitor that could do it full justice, inside was a brand new sensor Dalsa has developed that was capable of eight million pixel resolution, capturing images at 4K x 2K (actually 4046 H x 2048 V), or four times the resolution of HDTV in pixel count.
OK...Me stepping in. This very camera is undergoing it's real-time run downstairs, with 7 cinematographers checking it out.,,,as I type this. I've found some info online about this new camera, but I have open access to the tech-manuals...which are now sitting on my desk. I can read them., but not copy them
Oh...what a joy to be able to see this camera in action.
