In the image creation field, including digital cinema
where image composition is in heavy demand, the RGB
4:4:4 system, with broadband chromaticity signals, is
employed as a creation system.
Installing HZC-UG444/UG444M/UG444W enables
direct output of RGB 4:4:4 signals from the camera head.
The RGB 4:4:4 signals are fed out from the SDI 1/SDI 2
connectors of the camera as Dual Link HD SDI signals
that conform to SMPTE372M.
