F65 4K and HD Live Production Kit

Overview

production system camera suitable for 4K and HD productionsproduction system camera suitable for 4K and HD productions

The F65 Live System combines the F65 top-end 8K Super 35mm single sensor Motion Picture camera together with

the SKC-4065 4K live camera adaptor, CA-4000 4K fibre transmission camera system adaptor and BPU-4000

baseband processor unit. The F65 Live System provides cameramen with the same variety of components as any

Sony HD system camera, including a wide choice of viewfinders with a unique Focus Assist function specially

designed for 4K live operations, video returns, tally, intercom and zoom and focus controls. Video technicians

(“shaders”) operate in the control room with traditional RCP/MSU control panels and keep all the standard

operations as with any Sony HD studio camera. All parameters are remotely available to render the best picture in

any environment. With the variety of outputs on the BPU-4000 you can have a simultaneous 4K and HD live

operation, matching Sony HDC Series cameras perfectly. The F65 Live System also offers the capability to create

very high quality HD cut outs from the 8K resolution images (with the SZC-2001 licence option for the BPU-4000) or

operate as a 2x speed 4K slow-motion camera (with the SZC-2002 licence option for the BPU-4000).

F65 top-end Motion Picture 4K camera with 8K sensor

Hailed for its 8K sensor resolution, wide colour space, high sensitivity and ultra low noise, the Sony F65 is the

reference for top end digital Motion Picture cameras. Using the CA-4000 camera adaptor thanks to the

SKC-4065 and BPU-4000 baseband processor, the F65 connects to Sony's principal HD camera control units,

remote control panels and master set-up units.

•

SKC-4065 4K live camera adaptor

As the RAW interface of the F65 is different from the PMW-F55, the SKC-4065 enables the CA-4000 to fit onto

the camera body. It also interfaces the main commands with the camera itself, including multi-format,

shutter, ND filter and gain.

•

CA-4000 4K fibre transmission camera system adaptor

F65RS 1

This effectively converts the F65 to a live system camera, with a SMPTE fibre interface and a full set of

connections for audio, tally, prompter and more. The SKC-PB40 power booster option for the CA-4000 is

mandatory to use with the F65.

•

BPU-4000 baseband processor unit

This vital link “debayers” the RAW signal from the F65 into 4K baseband video and also down-converts 4K to

HD, performs HD cut-outs (with the SZC-2001 license option) and enables 2x speed 4K slow-motion (with the

SZC-2002 license option). For traditional multi-camera shading and control, the BPU-4000 can connect to

Sony HDCU-2000/2500 Camera Control Units, RCP-1000 series remote control panels and MSU-1000/1500

master setup units.

Features

F65 Live System

The F65 Live System allows you to shoot in 4K and HD in the same way as any other studio camera. The CA-

4000 optical fibre backend transmits the 4K RAW signal from the PMW-F55 to the BPU-4000, which processes

the RAW signal in real time. To attach the CA-4000 to the F65 requires the SKC-4065 4K live camera adaptor.

•

Simultaneous 4K and HD output

The BPU-4000 can output 4K, or QFHD, at the same time as HD. The RAW signal is processed in real time,

enabling full creativity with the 7x standard Gamma, 4x HyperGamma or S-Log2 Gamma curves.

•

HD cut-outs from 4K

The BPU-4000 allows you to create up to 2x HD virtual camera outputs in parallel to the 4K Live signal. This

enables you to create several views from a single camera, making HD live production more efficient. This

feature requires the SZC-2001 license option for the BPU-4000.

•

4K and HD 2x slow-motion

With the SZC-2002 license option for the BPU-4000, the F65 Live System allows you to capture 4K slow-motion

at 2x speed (100p). A HD slow-motion 2x speed output is also available from the HDCU-2000 series (100i).

•

Versatility of applications and accessories

The F65 Live System is suitable for many types of applications thanks to its flexibility. It also supports a wide

range of accessories fully compatible with Sony HD system cameras, such as viewfinders, remote control

panels and Camera Control Units.

•

Super 35mm CMOS sensor with 20 Megapixels

The F65 features superb image quality in HD/2K and True 4K. The F65 has a 14-stop latitude, high sensitivity

and ultra-low noise. It offers filmic colour reproduction with an unrivalled colour gamut.

•

Rotary shutter

The optional mechanical rotary shutter eliminates the rolling-shutter effect common to CMOS sensors.

•

Built-in ND filters

Four Neutral Density (ND) filters are supplied with the rotary shutter option.
