Hi-Definition (HDCAM) is the latest cutting edge digital technology in cinematography and internationally recognized as the medium of Broadcast of the future due to its flexibility and greater capacity of Information.
HDCAM, from Sony Business, typically takes in 7 times more information than a conventional (Standard Definition) broadcast camera. The improvement to the image quality is immediate and clear to the user and viewer, even if, for transmission purposes, the pictures are "down-converted" to Standard Definition. With HD, the quality of movie production is taken to another level, with the average movie viewer experiencing enhanced picture and sound quality.
"We are constantly striving for excellence in image quality and program delivery. The technological advancement provided by the new Sony HD Cameras meets this requirement," explained Ahmed Al Sheikh, Head of Dubai Sports Channel. "As a leading Broadcaster, what better venue to demonstrate HDCAM High Definition Television to a world audience: the Dubai World Cup 2004, One of Dubai's most prestigious events on the sporting calendar."
"Those following the Dubai World Cup coverage this year will encounter a new level of viewing experience, one of higher quality," said David Castle, A/V Production, Marketing Manager, Sony Business Middle East and Africa. "We are delighted to be working closely with the Dubai Sports Channel team in filming the Dubai World Cup and capturing the excitement of the thoroughbred finish with the latest in Sony technology."
