Inside this inconspicuous housing lies the heart of DEFINITY, the Central Imaging Unit, or CIU. A monochrome 15 megapixel LCD panel, high-precision DVI-LVDS converters, a third-generation dichroic filter system, holographic diffusers and an innovative tri-phosphor light source join forces to create an imaging device like no other in film recording.
DEFINITY's CIU can switch from square to rectangular, so-called anamorphic pixels that allow a horizontal resolution of up to 6K: Unlike conventional film recorders with their square or round pixels, DEFIINITY can switch between three different available pixel aspect ratios, thus recording formats like Cinemascope or HDV Anamorphic without loosing vital visual information or introducing unnecessarily stretched pixels in projection. Apart from knowing that it will generate the most stunning images, you will not have to spare many thoughts about DEFINITY's CIU: It is virtually maintenance-free and has a life that makes every other available technology pale in comparison. > 35mm Camera
