SKIP CITY | Sai-No-Kuni Visual Plaza

The Studio has adopted a multi-format camera system to provide a place for various types of production, such as shooting broadcast programs (HD/SD), commercial programs, digital cinema and even programs for the Internet. The studio can also be used as a satellite studio, thanks to its glass windows installed on wall surfaces.

You are able to switch to 1080/60i, 24P, and 30P with a single touch (although some changes on camera and VTR settings are necessary). The 24P/30P system also goes with the latest effects process keeping the same quality as a 60i system so as to provide various works for various needs. (Not including character generators and television opaque projectors.)

The camera system consists of three HD studio cameras (HDC-900s), compatible with new progressive 2/3 inch CCD, plus one handy camera (HDC-950). The video switcher is an MVS-8000. The system is connected to VTRs and other peripherals through a digital domain, and a full complement of software ensures high-quality production. Down conversion from HD allows the production of SDTV programs. Though the system is digital HD, it operates almost the same way as with conventional production. So even staff trying out the system for the first time can operate it easily. Furthermore, SD material can be up-converted for HDTV.

By using the DMX-B7000 scene memory, the preset content of each scene or program can be instantly re-created, making the system extremely convenient to use.

A telephone remote is available so that CD or MD players can provide sound effects, or to import all types of digital effecters or telephone audio into programs, or to play VTRs and other equipment. Also available are various types of microphones, A-type wireless equipment, boom dollies and a PA system.
