Phantom HD Q&A

The Phantom high def camera system is not to be confused with phantom power, the 15V juice some microphones need to record. It may, however, be confused with the Varicam, because it records digitally at high frame rates:

Phantom HD:
-1920x1080 images
-up to 1000 fps at that size
-at true 2K (2048x1556), can do 700 fps

Phantom65:
-4096x2440 up to 120 fps
-imaging area equivalent to 65mm film (wow)
