AquaVideo and RED Revolutionize U/W Motion Pictures!

HOT NEWS: AquaVideo was the first company to house the RedOne Digital Cinema Camera and in March 2011 became the first company to house the new Red Epic camera. (www.red.com). Quite simply, the Epic is the finest digital motion picture camera in the world, bringing resolution higher than 35mm film at up to 120 frames per second (300 fps at resolution greater than full 1080P HiDef). At a price point around $30K and the ability to use high quality Canon and Nikon lenses as well as traditional cine lenses, it is also within the range of most serious professionals and well to do amateurs. And slightly reduced performance "lite" versions in the $6000 to $13000 range will be introduced in the fall of 2011.

(Previous info about the RedOne: The RED Digital Cinema Camera, similar to Digital SLR technology in the still photo world, is challenging traditional film-based feature (check out the film "KNOWING" for a major motion picture shot on RED) and highend nature/documentary production, with a price less than $20,000 compared to $50K to $120K for the comparable Panasonic and Sony video cameras. Utilizing a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor the REDONE provides 20 times the resolution of standard television and 4 to 6 times that of even high definition television. Perfectly shaped for an underwater housing, it allows us to create a professional underwater system that is truly revolutionary in size and picture resolution. AquaVideo has created a housing that displaces just over 50 pounds (compared to 80-120 lbs. for broadcast HD and film cameras). In fact, the housing is not much larger or more expensive than those for midrange prosumer Camcorders like the Sony Z1, Panasonic HVX200, etc. This is the first system that provides true 35mm motion picture film quality in an affordable underwater system.)
