AquaVideo and RED Revolutionize U/W Motion Pictures!

HOT NEWS: 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.

NEW! Panasonic has brought DVCPro100 HD recording (100 mbits recording as opposed to 25 mbits for HDV) as well as Varicam camera features to the prosumer market with its ~$7500 HVX-200. AquaVideo was the first to ship housings for this revolutionary camcorder and it was featured as a cover story in Studio Monthly magazine. Housing for the Panasonic AG-HVX200 HiDef DVCPro100 camcorder is $2899. www.aquavideo.com/pdfs/Panasonic%20HVX200housing910.pdf

Underwater Lighting: AquaVideo's SuperNova 250 and 350 watt tungsten halogen lights have been the industry standard for quality, reliability and high power for over 20 years. Although our 50/60 watt HID brought SuperNova™ quality to the HID market, recent improvements in our halogen lights make them the best choice for most users. Our Underwater Lighting Guide sorts fact from fiction. Click here for more info.
