In its first appearance at the NAB 2024 trade show, PROTON Camera Innovations is set to unveil the PROTON CAM, claiming the title for the smallest broadcast-quality camera globally.
Despite its minuscule dimensions of 28mm by 28mm and a weight of merely 24 grams, the PROTON CAM packs an array of superior specifications that set it apart in the competitive camera market.
Unmatched Image Quality and Features
The camera stands out with its 12-bit sensor technology and advanced FPGA processing, enabling it to capture high-resolution images with exceptional clarity and dynamic range. It offers a broad 120° viewing angle and superior performance in low-light conditions without distorting the image, thus offering broadcasters unprecedented flexibility and creative possibilities.
Enhanced Audio and Low Power Consumption
Unlike its counterparts, the PROTON CAM integrates a tally light and stereo audio capabilities, surpassing the common offerings of mono audio without a tally light. This enhancement broadens its applicability in various production settings, requiring synchronized audio capture and camera status indication. Additionally, its efficient power usage not only extends battery life but also minimizes heat generation, ensuring stable operation under challenging conditions.
Diverse Applications
The camera’s compact size, low power requirement, and superior image quality make it an ideal choice for drone cinematography, enhancing the scope for capturing aerial footage in live sports and film productions. In sports broadcasting, it introduces new dimensions for immersive viewing experiences by allowing placement on players, referees, or equipment, providing unique angles and perspectives. The PROTON CAM’s discrete nature also benefits the production of live events, concerts, reality shows, and films, offering cinematographers a versatile tool for innovative storytelling and high-quality visual capture.
Expertise and Innovation at PROTON
Marko Hoepken, the CEO of PROTON, highlighted the company’s significant experience in developing miniaturized cameras and its commitment to maintaining complete control over its research and design process. This ensures the highest standards of innovation and quality in their products. He emphasized that while the compact size of the PROTON CAM is a unique selling point, it does not compromise on functionality and performance. PROTON looks forward to showcasing these advantages at NAB 2024.
