In contrast to the HS-1, the HS-2 boasts integrated functions and components, making an additional computer unnecessary for operation. The HS-2’s 35mm sensor features a global shutter to allow capturing at high speeds. The camera’s DigiMag DM-2 offers up to 2TB of storage, and an on-board monitor enables real-time preview. Additionally, as a two-stream camera with dual-link HDSDI output, the HS-2 can support a raw workflow, and an external de-bayer box allows real-time de-bayering of raw data into standard definition. The entire system can also be completely controlled by a small and lightweight control device. Other features of the HS-2 include 1,500 fps recording at 2K resolution, 2,000 fps recording at 1080p, 600 ASA sensitivity, 9 stops of latitude, PL lens mount and an optional optical viewfinder. The camera can record in YCC 4:2:2, RGB 4:4:4 or raw uncompressed. ZGC is handling North and South 70 March 2009 American distribution of the Weisscam HS-2.
