WTI’s HD Sidewinder
The new HD Sidewinder camera from Wireless Technology, Inc. offers several unique features that make it particularly well suited to the Mobile ENG and Broadcasting markets.
It's sleek, aerodynamic shape allows it to travel well at freeway speeds on the top of an ENG van. The curved outer housing smoothly directs the airflow over the camera tube at the rear of the camera during travel, preventing the camera faceplate from being damaged or contaminated by bugs, dirt, gravel or rain. The light weight 12.5 pound package, when compared with other P/T/Z cameras, presents much less of a load for camera masts to cope with during vehicle motion with the mast extended.

The pan motion of the camera operates through a continuous 360º, allowing the camera to remain on target, even if the ENG van must be in motion around the scene of the action. The 180º range in the tilt axis allows viewing of objects directly overhead or below as well.
The 1080i/720p resolution of the HD Sidewinder provides exceptional video quality. The HD Sidewinder also allows adjustment of critical camera video parameters such as Gamma and color balance. All of the standard features expected in modern cameras, such as backlight compensation are supported in the camera, as well as a wide selection of exposure modes, like shutter priority, iris priority, manual, spot and bright modes. The native YPbPr video output of the camera can be converted to HD-SDI with an optional interface device.
The HD Sidewinder offers an outstanding combination of features suitable for ENG and broadcast applications at a very affordable price.
