CFV II
The 16 million pixel digital capture unit can
produce 16 bit raw files at 33 Mbytes each at a rate
of 35 frames per minute.
FlexColor or Phocus then processes these files to
produce the quality expected from Hasselblad.
General overview
In very simple terms, the digital capture unit holds a light sensitive sensor in place at
the film plane. The electronic signals from the sensor are then processed and stored
as a digital file.
As an electronic color image is made up of three components − red, green and blue
which combine to form a so-called RGB image − the sensor’s task is to convert a
multi spectrum light image into three digital files (red, green and blue) for combination
later on.
The digital capture unit uses a CCD (Charged Couple Device) type sensor that has 16
million light sensitive areas on its surface each of which creates a pixel.
Each pixel in the sensor is filtered to create the three separate red, green and blue
files. Software then processes these electronic files as a package to produce the
various formats − RAW, TIFF, JPEG etc.
The three components of the image file are later recombined on the computer screen
to produce the familiar full color image.
•
The image file can be temporarily stored either in the digital capture unit with a CF
card, on a Hasselblad ImageBank-II or the hard disk on a computer. Processing of
these images is carried out in conjunction with the included FlexColor or Phocus
software. See the separate FlexColor or Phocus manual for further details
