recording up to 120 fps in Full HD mode.
The DVX200 features an integrated
and newly designed Leica Dicomar 4K f2.84.5 zoom lens. Leica's quality standards
serve to suppress the occurrence of ghosting and flare. Additionally, three manualoperation lens rings - focus, iris and 13x
zoom (cam driven) - provide comfortable
control similar to an interchangeable-lens
camera. The camera's multi-step zoom
control provides fast response and smooth
zooming, and the zoom control on the
handle enables variable-speed zooming.
The camcorder also features an enhanced
image stabilizer, including a five-axis hybrid
image stabilizer and 4x correction-area
image stabilizer, as well as a micro-drive
focus unit that improves focus speed, tracking and capture performance.
Other professional features include
time-code in/out, 3G HD-SDI and HDMI 2.0
(4K) video outs, easy focus and zooming,
and programmable buttons. The DVX200
records 4K (4096x2160)/24p as well as UHD
(3840x2160) and HD (1920x1080)
60p/50p/30p/25p/24p in either MP4 or
MOV file formats. There are two SD card
slots to facilitate backup and relay recording. For professionals working worldwide,
the master frame rate is selectable between
59.94Hz (23.98Hz), 50.00Hz and 24.00Hz.

Dedolight Illuminates Ledrama
Dedolight has introduced the
Ledrama-D daylight LED panel and the
Ledrama-B bi-color LED panel. Both products offer exceptional control and are ideal
for large productions where high output,
low power consumption and precise color
rendition are essential.
The Ledrama-D offers a panel light
suitable for the largest studios and produces
an output of 700 lux at 20' while drawing
only 220 watts. The Ledrama-B is ideal for

mobile applications, offering a smooth and
continuous transition between tungsten
and daylight with smooth dimming from
100 percent to zero. When tuning from
daylight to tungsten, every LED is active.
Utilizing premium-quality surface-mount
LEDs and new optical elements, the
Ledrama-B provides high efficiency and
reach with perfect color rendition; the
fixture utilizes passive cooling, is totally silent
and, like the Ledrama-D, produces 700 lux
at a distance of 20'.
Both Ledrama models offer standard
DMX control, operation from 90-260-volt
AC or external 28-volt DC, excellent powerto-light efficiency, and a rainproof housing.
Additionally, honeycomb, diffusion and filter

holders are coming soon.
Both the Ledrama-D and Ledrama-B
are available in three sizes: Ledrama
(31.5"x22.8"), Ledrama Large (47"x15.7")
and Ledrama Small (15.7"x15.7").
Paul Tepper, president of Dedotec
USA, Inc., explains, "The entire panel is
covered by an array of micro lenses that help
focus the light correctly and offer an impressive light output over a large distance. With
these lenses, we are able to produce a 45degree beam of light, as opposed to the
ultra-wide 160 degrees of other studio LED
panels."
