Can Ikonoskop’s DII Digital Cinema Camera Coexist with Red?5 Reasons why I believe Ikonoskop has found a niche with the A-Cam dII
One of the most exciting launches at IBC this year came from Ikonoskop, a small company located in Sweden that has to-date catered to 16mm filmmakers and extreme sports applications. Their latest product is a digital cinema camera with a sensor size equivalent to a 16mm film frame. The A-Cam dII is a compact, lightweight camera that captures 1920 x 1080 12-bit 4:4:4 images to a high-speed flash storage cartridge. It supports framerates from 1-60.

Directors and sound crew can check audio levels, access a menu, and view footage on the embedded LCD screen on the opposing side of the camera body. The camera captures uncompressed, RAW DNG images along with two channels of 48k uncompressed audio and embedded image metadata.
