Crosscast launches XCAM 1050, a high-speed HD micro camera

The German company's proposal promises 1050fps at a cost below 65% of other options on the market.

Crosscast has launched its new XCAM 1050, a FullHD micro camera capable of capturing up to 1050 frames per second.

Second generation of this series of Crosscast cameras, it has been designed with multi-camera broadcast or filming environments in mind. The new model incorporates a unit for iris and focus control, and a fiber adapter.

The German company promises that the use of this camera can lead to up to 65% savings compared to other high-speed camera systems. Since the camera is designed with high-speed playout capability, no external equipment is necessary for live production.

Equipped with a CMOS sensor, the XCAM150 allows recording up to 1050fps (350fps native) with high speed and direct output simultaneously. The camera barely weighs 128 grams, and measures just 53x42x44 mm. This allows it to be attached to all types of poles and cranes such as Polecam.

En cuanto al control de iris y foco, la unidad externa controla la posición de foco e iris de la lente, con la posibilidad de reconocer y reposicionar posiciones precisas. Puede controlarse a través de Crosscast OCP o mediante los sistemas Chrosziel y CMotion.

El adaptador de fibra, por su parte, permite trabajar a largas distancia con dos salida de dos canales (directo y playout de alta velocidad).
