An HDTV film-complement format introduced by Sony in 1998. 1920 x 1080, progressive scan, 24 fps, 4:4:4 resolution. Using a 1/2-inch tape, the small cassette (camcorder) will hold 50 minutes while the large cassette will hold 156 minutes. E-Cinema’s camcorder will use three 2/3-inch FIT CCDs and is equivalent to a film sensitivity of ISO 500.

The format will compress the electronic signal somewhere in the range of 7:1. The format is based on the Sony HDCAM video format.
