increasingly  open  and  the  depth  of  focus  will

Since the 720P/59.94 Hz format is used for recording
onto  the  tape  or  outputting  to  the  HD  SDI  OUT
connector, users now have the exciting opportunity to
create a whole new dimension of moving images with
clearer slow-motion images and blur effects—a world
which  was  hitherto  confined  to  the  field  of  film
production—in their own video...
