Phantom VEO 340S and 640S for Film and TV

Phantom VEO for production workflows

Both the VEO 640S and the VEO 340S include features for Film / TV including on-camera controls, timecode in/out, 3G HD-SDI and HDMI monitor outputs and other additional programmable I/O signal availability, ruggedized connectors and compatibility with removable CFast 2.0 storage media. Additionally, the cameras' small 5" form factor, together with the Abel Cine Essentials kit, enable a number of different rigging options for portability and flexibility.

Available with a choice of three levels of on-board memory (18, 36 or 72 GB) and the C-Fast card, these two VEO models offer a a convenient and efficient workflow for high pressure production film sets or mobile shots. Cines are recorded to the camera's on-board RAM, trimmed and then saved to CFast media which can be swapped out when full. This workflow eliminates downtime by keeping the camera online, ready for the next capture. Multiple takes are possible with the ability to segment RAM memory into up to 63 segments. This allows fast and uninterrupted capture of multiple events without the need to transfer video. The desired workflow will dictate which of the two choices are viable.

The VEO 340S can provide 800 fps at full resolution and 1100 fps at the reduced resolution of 1920 x 1080. Many other variations to resolution and frame rate are also available.
