Phantom Flex4K Digital Cinema Camera
4K digital cinema camera with ultra-high-speed capture and flexible production workflows.
Built on Phantom award-winning technology, the Phantom Flex4K provides the best of both worlds by offering features of a cine camera and those only found in a speciality high-speed camera.
This full-featured digital camera is capable of capture speeds ranging from standard frame rates to 1000 frames per second at 4K pixel resolution and 2000 frames per second at 2K pixel resolution.
The Phantom Flex4K also offers a flexible workflow, with the option to record either uncompressed RAW or with industry-standard compression. Data can be moved quickly using non-volatile storage, while a complete on-camera control menu reduces the need for a computer on set.
Note: This is a legacy Phantom camera. Newer models offer improved performance, workflow and support.
Advantages for Cinematographers
With the ability to shoot from inside-studio environments through to extreme and varied conditions, the Phantom Flex4K is designed with the cinematographer's convenience in mind.
Camera control is made easy and intuitive with a comprehensive on-camera control interface for both basic and advanced camera operation.
Capture and recording parameters can be set up before the shoot while still allowing immediate adjustment of common parameters such as frame rate and exposure settings.
Workflow Features
Offering 35 mm depth-of-field at 4K resolution, the camera's 9.4 megapixel sensor captures exceptional detail with impressive dynamic range and low noise, providing excellent image quality and low-light performance.
Clever temperature control and a streamlined design enable quick shooting while maintaining an ultra-stable image.
The Phantom Flex4K ships with both Windows and Mac-based download solutions. One licence of Glue Tools Cine Toolkit and Seance download software for Mac is also provided.
PC-only Phantom PCC controller software is included for downloading, file conversion and full camera control, including h.264 and Apple ProRes encoding for Phantom Cine RAW files.
The 64 GB internal RAM option enables loop mode for the fastest high-speed workflow, allowing recording into the RAM buffer at the camera's top speed.
Files can then be offloaded quickly to an attached Phantom CineMag IV hot-swappable recording media, available in sizes up to 2 TB.
Monitoring, Outputs and Accessories
Each of the camera's four 3G HD-SDI outputs and one return is customisable for monitoring with adjustable frame guides and/or clean output for use with field recorders.
All HD-SDI outputs support video scaling for a sharp 4:4:4 1080p output of the camera's full sensor. Two 3G HD-SDI outputs can also be combined for a 4:2:2 ultra-HD signal.
A Phantom-branded HD OLED viewfinder is part of the system. The EVF has full HD resolution, high-quality optics and a crisp, bright display.
By incorporating the camera's ancillary data, it includes custom Phantom Flex4K features such as overlay menus and display modes.
CineMag IV is a 2 TB, hot-swappable, non-volatile memory solution for Phantom digital high-speed video cameras.
Record into camera RAM and upload the recording to a CineMag in seconds, reducing camera downtime while saving cine files from volatile memory.
