Equipment
PolyCast uses two different camera sets. The high-end set consists of seven Panasonic AW-HC1800 High-Definition box cameras. This is Panasonic’s top model. These cameras are supplemented with three 17×7.7 and 3 22×7.6 Canon HD lenses. In addition, we have an HD handheld camera for fixed (i.e. conductor) shots. Our cameras can also be employed as handheld cameras so that a camera operator can stand on the podium or in the hall. Extra cameras can also be incorporated, such as cameras with large zoom lenses. This set is often used for large video productions and international broadcasts. The second set is a compact HD set. This set consists of Panasonic AW-HE 130 cameras. These cameras are perfectly suited for smaller productions, such as web streaming. Various combinations of both sets are also possible.
