Ikonoskop a-cam dII Gets IBC interest

Aaton founder Jean-Pierre Beauviala and Ted Schilowitz from RED were top and tailing our IBC meeting with Daniel Jonsäter of Ikonoskop, makers of the new a-cam dII high definition RAW format motion picture camera.

The camera features a sensor that Daniel won't talk about because of NDA rulings but other specs are plentiful which include their media which is proprietary and writes at 240Mb/s, the workflow uses individual raw files in the DNG (Digital Negative) format which has been gifted to the industry by Adobe. The 2/3 inch sensor shoots 1920x1080 and the framerate is 1-60fps.

Daniel's company don't want a large distribution network and will sell mostly direct from the December this year. They don't see RED as a competitor but feel that RED has broadened their market by pioneering marketing.
