The new Atom Two is claimed by Dream Chip to be the world’s smallest global shutter broadcast camera. Designed for live sports, cinematic production and high-speed broadcasting, it promises “exceptional image quality while eliminating motion distortion through its advanced global shutter sensor”.
The ultra-compact camera, which measures 29x29x33mm, uses a 1/1.8in sensor offering 13 stops of dynamic range; it can output HLG, PQ, or S-LOG3 for 13-bit HDR. It can record 1080p at up to 60fps. It includes a 3G-SDI output, as well as power and RS-485 ports, and offers multi-matrix support.
It comes with a wide-angle 4.5mm lens offering a 90˚ field of view, ideal for body-worn ref cams or for fixed PoV use and has a built-in stereo microphone. As it weighs just 55g, it is also suitable for use on a miniature drone. Its wide colour gamut means it can easily be matched to larger professional cameras without noticeable differences.
