A Viper is an HD camera head. That is, an HD camera without a built-in recorder. The Viper can output an HD signal to either an HD disc recorder or to an HD tape recorder. The Viper can also output a non-TV format-based HD picture, 4:4:4. On location this signal is recorded on a hard disc or to HDCAMSR and is the highest quality HD picture available at the moment. Also the Viper is the only HD camera that can record full height (1080) lines cinemascope aspect ratio pictures.
