Probably one of the industries best-kept secrets…The Codex Action Cam.
Now you need to pay close attention if the images are captured on Codex or captured by Codex!
Whether you’re making commercials, TV or movies, sometimes your camera package is just too big for the situation or location you’re trying to shoot in.
Enter Codex Action CAM...
A complete shooting, capture, transcoding and data management solution for situations that require a compact form factor and low weight.
Codex Action CAM itself is a tiny remote head camera for shooting at up to 60fps.
It comes packaged with the Codex Camera Control Recorder that delivers full remote control of the camera, plus the proven workflow of the industry-standard Codex recorder.
Action Camera | Witness Camera | POV Camera ...the creative possibilities are endless.
Compact package – the Action CAM camera head measures 45 x 42 x 53mm. The Codex Camera Control Recorder is only 83 x 139 x 188mm.
Lightweight & Flexible – A single co-ax cable connects the base unit and camera head, carrying video, control signals and power. With industrial grade cables, the base unit and camera head can be up to 180m apart. A camera set, consisting of the recorder and two camera heads, weighs just 1.5kg.
Extended Dynamic Range – packing 14-bit image-processing, a 12-bit RAW output and Codex’s industry-leading debayering, Action CAM performs exceptionally well in normal and extreme lighting conditions.
CCD Sensor Technology – Action CAM uses a Kodak 2/3” CCD sensor, which provides great light sensitivity, signal-to-noise, temperature stability and no visible fixed-pattern-noise. A global shutter means there is no distortion of fast-moving objects.
Native S3D – with Action CAM, 3D shooting is easy. Connect two camera heads to the Codex Camera Control Recorder, and the signals undergo exactly the same processing.
Without any fuss, you get completely synchronous 3D output and identical image properties, such as white balance and contrast. This makes shooting S3D simple and straightforward, saving time and money in post production.
Upgraded C-Mount – Action CAM makes back focus adjustment quick, easy and precise, thanks to a special mechanism consisting of a sturdy locking lever, firmly securing the adjustment, and an accurate back focus wheel that rotates independently of the lens mount.
This makes it possible to use C-Mount lenses for professional production, giving you everything you expect from larger lenses in a small form factor.
