Data Management: The VEO4K records to an internal 72GB RAM and has intentional limited bandwidth to ensure proper in-camera processing.. Once the RAM is full, you are able to transfer an entire clip or set ins and outs and transfer portions of the clip to the included CFast cards. Saving the full 72GB RAM takes approximately 12 minutes so plan your shots accordingly.

Sensor Calibration: Due to pixel sensitivity drift that is inherent to CMOS sensors, it is imperative to calibrate the sensor through the black reference process anytime the camera boots up or any changes are made to camera parameters like resolution, exposure, or frame rate. Black reference is also recommended anytime there is a substantial lapse of time of operation or change in operating temperatures.

Syncing: Incorrect sync settings will result in a scrambled or non-responsive image. If you encounter this issue on set, you will need to switch the camera to internal sync or attach an appropriate external sync source.

Lighting: You will need plenty and should plan for more than you think you need. An exposure calculator can be found under the Resources section of this page.

Setup: This kit includes lots of moving pieces. It would be ill-advised to expect to be able to quickly build this kit on set. We highly recommend no less than a full prep day for basic operation or a few days for taking full advantage of this package.

The Global Shutter is recommended for scientific measurements, light synchronization, or reducing shutter artifacts. When using the GS, black shading becomes imperative before each capture, you lose approximately 9 stops from your dynamic range, and the base ISO raises to 640, making it more prone to noise.

The Rolling Shutter broadens your dynamic range to 12.5 stops, has low noise with a base ISO of 320, but as with most rolling shutters, is more prone to digital artifacts, especially when using low quality lights.

This camera does have the 10Gb Ethernet option installed, but we do not send the required cable by default. If you require this feature, make the request in the special instructions box at checkout.

No. The VEO4K is only capable of outputting a maximum 1080p60.

We do! You’ll find a PL lens mount, V-Mount battery Kit here.

We also have Gold Mount battery options. You’ll find the VRI Phantom VEO4K EF Gold Mount Kit and the VRI Phantom VEO4K PL Gold Mount Kit.
