Does the HDCAM work well with cranes and motion control systems?
The HD camcorder can be easily adapted to all of the many tools of movement used in film and high-end video production: dollies, cranes, jibs, helicopter, steadicam, etc. Since the HD analog signal out of the camcorder is not viewable on conventional monitors such as are built into the steadicam, or might be used on a jib arm, its important to plan for an accommodation. The conventional monitor can be replaced with an HD monitor, or a small portable downconvertor can bridge the HD camera output to a conventional monitor.
