Hitachi cameras at Na Leo TV

hen the Hilo-based Public,
Education and Government (PEG)
broadcaster expanded its coverage to
include more sporting events, it chose
SK-HD1800 cameras from Hitachi
Kokusai to elevate the quality of its
productions and meet the rigorous
demands of live sports.
"We wanted to start producing
more live events such as high school
sports, but our existing prosumerlevel HD camcorders weren't up to the
task," said Matt Cordero, Production
Manager at Na Leo TV. "Our president
wanted a higher quality standard,
and we needed cameras that would
respond well in low light and could
zoom all the way down a football field.
"Our previous cameras also required
tons of cabling - including separate
video, communications, and power that was cumbersome for field use,"
he said. "I wanted the simplicity of
a single SMPTE fibre cable for each
camera, the higher quality of 2/3-inch
sensors, and the ability to use longer,
B4-mount lenses."
NLTV purchased four SK-HD1800s
and started using them in their studio
and field productions.
NLTV acqiured five Fujinon lenses three 22x, one 14x super-wide, and one
99x box lens for sports productions.
