Panavisions Genesis

The Genesis is Panavision’s® premier digital camera. It offers an unmatched track record for reliability and a proven industry standard workflow for on-set efficiency and trouble free post production. Genesis is more than a camera; it’s a complete system that answers your need for high quality recording formats, a sophisticated onset color display for error-free filming and an on-set real time DPX creation tool that can help catch problems before you leave the location. Its size, weight and ergonomics make it ideal for studio, handheld or Steadicam® use.

For the DP, shooting with Genesis means no compromise on depth of field control, portability, sensitivity, dynamic range or color. Genesis was designed as a Panavision camera. It uses all of the existing Panavision 35mm spherical film lenses, most notably the Primo® lenses and all of the same accessories as the 35mm film cameras. The camera has a 12.4 megapixel Super 35mm sized sensor, a nominal exposure index of 400, a speed range of 1-50 fps, a shutter angle range of 3.8 to 360 degrees and the depth of field is equivalent to that of a 35mm film camera. The 360 degree shutter gives one additional stop of exposure, with increased motion blur. The nominal EI 400 sensitivity can be extended to EI 1600 and above for low light situations, by the careful use of shutter and gain.

With a true RGB sensor, the camera has the same number of pixels for each of the primary colors, unlike some digital cameras that have half as many red or blue pixels as green. The camera was designed with digital intermediates in mind. It has the ability to record to either the Panavision Solid State Recorder SSR-1, or to the Sony SRW-1™ videotape recorder and both units can dock directly to the camera, giving you total portablitliy without cables running to an external recording device. All functions such as record start/stop and format options are controlled directly from the camera. With the SSR-1 you can capture up to forty-two minutes of completely uncompressed 4:4:4 footage

With the GDP – the Genesis Display Processor, you don’t need to worry about complex and unnecessary post procedures before you can view your picture. The image processing is built right into the camera. You can see your true image during shooting and make changes while the camera is rolling. The Genesis offers dual viewfinder outputs, integrated lens control for focus, zoom and iris, user-selectable menu terminologies such as shutter angle or shutter speed and camera control via Panavision RDC (Remote Digital Controller) or Sony MSU (Master Setup Unit), RMB (HD Remote Control Unit) series controllers.
