Chapter 1: Camera Overview

Camera Overview
1
Introduction The Phantom Flex4K is a digital cinema camera capable
of shooting standard sync-sound or ultra slow-motion
frame rates up to 1,000 frames-per-second (fps) at
4K resolution, and up to approximately 2,000 fps at 2K.
A proprietary super-35mm 4K CMOS sensor provides
ultra low-noise images with exceptional detail and a wide
dynamic range.
The on-camera control menu is designed to adjust all
important camera settings and eliminate the need for a
computer on set or in the field.
Raw and video workflows are supported. CineMag IV
recording media uses the latest in non-volatile storage
technology to store image data quickly and safely.

Recording Options
Sensitivity & Exposure Index The low noise performance of the Flex4K sensor allows
for the ‘effective ISO’ to be dialed in with the camera’s
Exposure Index function, with minimal compromise to
image quality.
Exposure index (EI) range: from 250 to 1250
Recommended EI: 800 - 1000
Controlling the Phantom Flex4K is easier than ever with
a full-featured on-camera control interface for both basic
and advanced camera operation. Set up universal capture
and recording parameters before the shoot, while retaining
access to the more commonly adjusted parameters like
frame rate and exposure settings at the push of a button.
Capture, trigger, playback and save controls can be found
on both sides of the camera in order to provide a seamless
workflow for different shooting environments.
Control is also possible with Phantom PCC software or a
handheld Phantom Remote Control Unit (RCU).
Each Phantom Flex4K ships standard with both Windows
(PCC) and Mac-based download solutions. Vision Research
is providing one license of the popular Glue Tools Cine
Toolkit, and Séance™download software for the Mac. This
provides the ability to download Flex4K raw files in Mac
OSX, and direct compatibility with most Quicktime-based
edit and color grading software.
Select ‘Loop mode’ for the fastest high-speed workflow.
Loop mode records into the RAM buffer at the camera’s
top speeds, then once the camera is triggered the files
can be quickly off-loaded to an installed Phantom
CineMag IV.
For longer record times use run/stop (R/S) mode and
record directly to a 2TB CineMag IV at up to 120 frames-
per-second at 4K (max 90 fps to the 1TB CineMag IV).
This is an excellent option when ultra high-speed is not
required.

Workflow Solutions
Chapter 1: Camera Overview

Like previous Phantom cameras, the Flex4K records
Vision Research’s proprietary Cine Raw format. These
files are captured in 12-bit and efficiently saved to the
CineMag IV in a 10-bit ‘packed’ format. The Cine Raw
files are compatible with many of the industry’s top editing
and post production software packages, or they can be
converted to a variety of formats using software provided
with the camera.
As an alternative to Cine Raw, the Flex4K offers a high-
quality, compressed recording format. Choose to capture
files directly in Apple ProRes 422 HQ to the CineMag IV.
This increases record duration, decreases file size, and
simplifies the process straight out of the camera. Note
that when working with ProRes, there are limits to the
resolution (full 4K or 2K only).
A third workflow option is recording the 3G-SDI video
playback with a video-based field recorder. These devices
are easy to find, easy to use, and take advantage of the
camera’s in-camera video scaling for high-quality video
via two 3G HD-SDI outputs.
The Flex4K allows various configurations for monitoring
the image via the camera’s four total HD-SDI outputs,
and one return. Each output is customizable for monitoring
with frame guides, or as a clean output for use with field
recorders. The outputs can also be switched from
displaying standard gamma to a pre-set Log curve.
All HD-SDI outputs support video scaling for a sharp
1080p output of the camera’s full sensor. Two of the 3G
HD-SDI outputs can also be combined for a 4:2:2 ultra-HD
signal, which will allow the full resolution to be viewed on
4K production monitors.
The viewfinder and monitor feeds can be set to always
show a live feed, so the DP can follow the action and
frame up the next shot while the last shot is still being
saved or reviewed from the other outputs. Zoom (focus
assist) and threshold (exposure assist) functions are
also available.
