The artemis Cine HD Pro from Sachtler revises the traditional functions of previous systems, offering a new 1.8-inch post with a no-tool clamp and a refined gimbal with more control, higher precision and nicer handling. Dual video processing allows HD/SDI and SD video signals to be used simultaneously, and hot-swap technology allows continuous powering, even while changing batteries, so that the camera, monitor and radio channels can stay live. HiCap wiring provides more than 200 watts to the camera and can work in tandem with the hot-swap technology for longer battery operation. The modular design of the artemis systems also allows previous systems to be upgraded with the new CT2 1.8-inch post and gimbal, and the functionality of the Cine HD Pro can be expanded with available modules. Estimated Street Price: $40,000 (with monitor). Contact: Sachtler, (845) 268-0100, www.sachtler.com.
