Abstract

Recently, there is more and more demand on broadcasting display environment that provides a sense of realism basically with high quality and high definition as in UHDTV, so various kinds of 4K cameras have been released. Super 35mm sensor 4K/UHD cameras being generally used can be usefully applied to the single camera-based system such as advertisements, dramas, nature documentaries, and culture programs. However, in the multicamera-based system such as entertaining programs, sports, and concerts, relay broadcasting may face limitations as there are restrictions of close-up or tight shots according to the distance. Besides, 4K lenses are not enough compared with the previous HD lenses' group, so there are limitations in camera photographing shots that have been realized in HD filming. Therefore, to complement this, the use of 2/3 inch sensor 4K/UHD cameras is being demanded, and it is also needed to use various lenses' groups to produce UHD image contents. Accordingly, this study used Grass Valley's LDX 4K/UHD camera to analyze its applicability based on the picture quality test at the use of HD lenses in 2/3 sensors and also the possibility of its efficient application.

최근 UHDTV와 같은 고품질, 고화질을 기본으로 현장감을 제공하는 방송 디스플레이 환경이 요구됨에 따라 다양한 4K 카메라들이 출시되고 있다. 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 Super 35mm 센서의 4K/UHD 카메라는 광고, 드라마, 자연다큐멘터리, 교양 등 싱글 카메라 제작 시스템에는 활용도가 높다. 하지만 예능, 스포츠, 콘서트 등 멀티카메라 제작시스템에서는 거리에 따라 클로즈 업(close-up)이나 타이트 샷(tight shot)의 한계점을 가짐에 따라 방송 중계에 제약이 따른다. 또한 4K 렌즈는 기존의 HD 렌즈 군에 비해 부족한 실정이라 HD 제작 시 구현되었던 카메라 촬영 샷에 제한이 따른다. 따라서 이를 보완하기 위한 2/3inch 센서 4K/UHD 카메라의 활용이 요구되고 있으며, 다양한 렌즈군의 활용으로 UHD 영상 콘텐츠 제작이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 Grass Valley 사의 LDX 4K/UHD카메라를 사용하여 2/3" 센서에서의 HD급 렌즈 활용에서의 화질 테스트를 통해 활용 가능성에 대해 분석하고, 이를 효율적인 활용 가능성을 제시하였다.
