Thomson’s LDK 6000 mk 2 World cam has the identical prism based imager and 2 by 3 inch CCD sensors used in the Viper camera. Three 9.2 million pixel (1920 by 4320) HD-DPM+ (Frame Transfer) CCDs, 12 bit A to D conversion and 22 bit digital signal processing permit capture of full resolution HD 1920 by 1080 or 1280 by 720 images in either the 1.78:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio using Thompson’s dynamic pixel management. The World cam can output the following formats to HDCAM, DVCPRO-HD or D5-HD recorders: 1080psF at 23.98, 24, 25 or 29.97 fps; 1080p at 23.976 fps; 1080i at 50 or 59.94 fps and 720p at 23.98, 25, 29.97, 50 or 59.94 fps.

Sony’s CineAlta camcorder has a prism based imager with three 2 by 3 inch FTT 2.2 million pixel CCD sensors and 12 bit anolog to digital conversion to capture 1920 by 1080 progressive images in the 16:9 aspect ratios. These images are sub sampled to 1440 by 1080 for recording on HDCAM tape using Sony’s PsF recording scheme. The CineAlta can also capture images at the following progressive frame rates 23.976 fps, 24 fps, 25 fps, 29.976 fps or 30 fps and in interlaced mode at 50 fields per second and 59.94 fields per second.
