1. About
1.1. The PS-Cam X35
THE CAMERA
The PS-Cam X35 a motion effect camera designed for normal shooting
rates and below and up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2) in slow motion, fast
motion, ramped motion, time lapsed motion for all purposes. On the analog
side there were analog film cameras with speed rates up to 150 fps known
as robust and flexible. On the digital side high speed rates were only available when using highly specialized camera systems. Now the PS-Cam X35
is a combination of a sync sound and high speed camera – a 2 in 1 camera.
So if going for motion effect no additional camera or operator resources and
budget is necessary.
The all-purpose concept of the PS-Cam X35 allows normal speed and
enhanced picture quality up to 11 T-stops with global shutter technology. It
provides slow motion capabilities up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2) maximum
to capture amazing results especially in human action. The onboard memory
(18 GB) allows recording of more than 4 minutes in normal speed (memory
with 9 GB or 36 GB planned). The standard switchable HD-SDI interface
in 1,5 G allows the integration into existing HD infrastructures and operation
with existing and future-proofed HD-SDI recorders.

5.1.1. Live Mode
The Live Mode shows a live picture of the camera while not recording. In this
mode you can do image settings like focus and composing.
5.1.2. Direct Recording
The PS-Cam X35 is capable to record directly uncompressed images with
highest picture quality onto recorders with exchangeable media, currently up
to 30 fps.
In this mode the camera captures similar to other cameras on the market to
exchangeable media however additional media and recorders are necessary
and available.
There is no extra download time necessary.
The switchable HD-SDI interface in 1,5 G ensures using existing and futureproofed HD-SDI recorders on the market. Every HD supporting recorder can
be attached such as Sony HDCAM SR, AJA Kipro or the PS DigiMag. Other
recorder examples are: Cine Deck, 1 Beyond, - Atomos Samurai, Codex. PSRAW may be not supported, please check your recorder.
The PS-Cam X35 offers a „One Button Recording“ function (based on the
ARRI One button function). This function sends a trigger signal to the connected recorder when the RUN button is pushed. The trigger signal starts
the recorder.
If you want to use this function verify your recorder supports “One Button
Recording” (if ARRI VariFlag is supported, it also works for PS-Cam X35).
Contact us if you have more questions.
5.1.3. Indirect and Super Slow Motion Recording
The PS-Cam X35 is capable to record indirect and Super Slow Motion with
an internal memory.
The advantages of the memory are:
1. The capability to capture at high frame rates
It is technically not possible to handle high speed rates in uncompressed
quality with neither
www.pstechnik.de 21
- commodity IT storage devices
- not tape based recording
2. No extra additional medium is necessary to record
The camera is capable to record up to 4 min in 25 fps without film mode
switched on instantly without additional storage devices and recorders.
There is an extra download time necessary to record the images from the
internal memory onto an external device.
The following table shows the recording time for the internal memory with
18GB and 36GB without film mode (Min:Sec at 1920 x 1080):

5.1.4. Types of record modes
Because the quantity of data acquired at high frame rates is large, the
recording is not sent directly to a recorder, but instead is buffered in the
camera’s internal RAM. The record mode determines how the image data are
written to the camera’s RAM memory.
Various modes are available for different functions:
Sequence:
Once recording has started, data is written once into RAM until it
is full, and then
the recording is stopped automatically.
Ring Buffer: Once recording has started, the data is written into the RAM
until the recording is stopped manually.
Image data that goes beyond the
possible RAM recording length, is overwritten
with new image data.
Direct Recording: Choose this mode to directly record the signal on an external recorder (e.g. DigiMag DM-2). In this case there is no RAM recording
limit. This is the only mode for direct recording. Recording speed is limited
by the chosen format.
Recording speed:
Trigger 70/30: This is a combination of the Sequence and Ring Buffer
modes. When recording is stopped, the camera continues to record for 30
percent of the possible recording duration before actually stopping.
Trigger 50/50: This is a combination of the Sequence and Ring Buffer
modes. When recording is stopped, the camera continues to record for half
of the possible recording duration before actually stopping.
Trigger 30/70: This is a combination of the Sequence and Ring Buffer
modes. When recording is stopped, the camera continues to record for 70
percent of the possible recording duration before actually stopping.
Ramping: It is possible to record up to 4 different ramps in the complete
RAM memory. To start, you have to go to the settings menu, set the RAM
memory in sequence mode and choose a frame rate for the project that will
be the start frame rate of the ramp. The chosen frame rate must be always a
full number (for example 24, NOT 23.98 or 29.97).
In the Ramping menu, you will have the option to choose how many ramps
you want to make. Then, you will set manually the end frame rate and the
duration of the ramp.
Once you are in the Timeline menu and start recording, a button called Ramp
will be activated. Whenever you want the ramp to start press the button. If
you want to record several ramps, the button will be activated again, after the
first ramp has finished and so on.
www.pstechnik.de 23
Timelapse: It is possible to record with intervals from 1 sec. to 365 days in
the RAM memory. To start, you have to go to the settings menu, set the RAM
memory in sequence mode and choose a frame rate for the project. The
chosen frame rate must be always a full number (for example 24, NOT 23.98
or 29.97).
In the Timelapse menu, you have the option to choose the interval and how
many pictures are recorded per interval (burst).
Once you are in the Timeline menu and start recording, Timelapse is already
activated. The first interval will be recorded with the pressing the record button.
Stop Motion: It is possible to record a defined number of pictures (burst
rate) per trigger in the RAM memory. To start, you have to go to the settings
menu, set the RAM memory in sequence mode and choose a frame rate for
the project. The chosen frame rate must be always a full number (for example
24, NOT 23.98 or 29.97).
In the Timelapse menu, you have the option to choose how many pictures
are recorded per interval (burst).
Once you are in the Timeline menu and start recording, StopMotion mode is
already activated. The each trigger will be recorded by pressing the record
button.

NOTE:
The longest exposure time always corresponds to the set recording speed.
Of course, a shorter exposure time can also be set.
www.pstechnik.de 28
Rec.Mode
Pressing the “Rec.Mode” line, a window opens, showing five different “record modes”. Once a mode is selected, it is applied and the window closes
automatically.
- Sequence
In this mode, the entire internal camera´s RAM memory is used for recording.
When the memory is full, the recording will stop automatically.
Example:
Possible recording length with the RAM at 150 fps: 20 seconds.
20 seconds after being started, the recording stops automatically.
- Ring Buffer
The entire internal camera´s RAM is written continuously. The recording ends
only when is stopped manually. Image data that goes beyond the possible
RAM´s recording length is overwritten by new image data.
Example:
Possible recording length to RAM at 150 fps: 20 seconds.
Once started, recording continues until it is stopped manually.
The last 20 seconds of the recording time are saved.
- Direct Recording
In this mode you can record directly to an external recorder without doing
a recording to the RAM first and then do a playout. The recording speed is
limited to the format chosen. The longest shutter is also limited to certain
values. Choosing a shorter shutter is always possible.
- Trigger 30/70, 50/50, 70/30
In this mode you can make a decision how much percent of the recordable
frames will still be recorded after you pressed the stop button. With this
mode you make sure that you get a certain amount of frames before and
after pressing the stop button and not loosing anything important.
Example:
You choose Trigger 30 / 70. A recording is started and is running as long
a you want (like in the Ring Buffer Mode). As soon as you press the stop
button the trigger mode is active and the recording will stop after recording
30% more of the recordable frames. So you have 70% of the action before
you pressed the stop button and 30% of it after you pressed it. In the other
modes only the percentage differs.
Segment
Divide the RAM into different segments to record to with this function. Every segment may relate to different settings to be saved by the Control Unit.
Playback of every separate segment is possible at any time, you just need to
select the concerning segment.
The following segmentations can be selected:
- 1 Segment 100%
Image Process
- Film mode: increased image quality by the dark reference function. The
recording capacity is decreased to 50%. Film mode is not supported by dual

What is the PS-Cam X35?
- It´s a motion effect camera designed for normal shooting an capable to
shoot rates below 24 up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2) in slow motion, fast
motion, ramped motion, time lapsed motion for all purposes.
- It´s a combination of a sync sound and high speed camera – a 2 in 1
camera. So if you´d like to go for motion effect you don´t need an additional
camera or operator resources/budget.
- It´s a motion effects camera for all purposes! - It´s a 24 fps normal speed
camera that’s capable to shoot up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2).
What is the difference of PS-Cam X35 to other digital cameras?
In one word – the motion effects!
- Slow motion, fast motion, ramped motion and time lapsed motion in combination with high picture quality and no resolution and quality loss in one
camera!
- The merge of sync sound cameras and digital high speed!
- This supports new creativity emotional visual story telling - allowing to
tell the story differently (be creative, tell a different story).
What is the difference to high speed cameras?
The X35 is a 24 fps normal speed camera with high picture quality that’s
capable to shoot slow motion up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2). In contrary
the HS-2 is a high speed camera with a high picture quality that´s capable
to shoot normal speed rates at different price points for a range of budget
requirements!
What is special about this camera?
- Reliable: all-purposes workhorse for every day shooting with reliable and
high picture quality in normal speed and slow motion. Have a look for allcategories Documentary, TV drama, commercial etc. with reliable workflow in
HD!
- Effective: motion effects fps in slow motion, fast motion, ramped motion
and time lapse for a different creative visual language.
- Efficient: 2 in one. One camera instead of two on the set. The combination
of sync sound cameras and digital high speed! Saves money for operators
and material.
What are the challenges of producing a sync sound camera with a
high speed one in one product?
- Sensor and image processing, global shutter, cooling etc.
- High speed censor and buffer integration with production relevant parameters such as sync and Timecode and 3D.
www.pstechnik.de 42
Why build something like this when there are kind a few high speed
cameras and now 35 mm sized digital cameras?
- There is not just only high speed. There is slow motion, fast motion, time
lapse, and ramped motion. There is no camera in the market able to do it!
It´s a motion effect camera designed for normal shooting and capable to
shoot rates below 24 up to 750 fps (1.500 fps MK2) in slow motion, fast
motion, ramped motion, time lapsed motion for all purposes.
- It´s a combination of a sync sound and high speed camera – a 2 in 1
camera. So if you´d like to go for motion effect you don´t need an additional
camera or operator resources/budget. Effective to tell a story differently.
What is the ease or difficulty in switching between high speed and
normal speed recording?
Switch the operation in the menu to another frame rate – no Power ON/Off
necessary.
Does the camera use compression, what codecs does it use?
- Uncompressed
- 422 HD 10 Bit
Does the camera have a new CMOS sensor, what are the specifica-
tions?

What is the native resolution of the CMOS Sensor? How does it
translate into a 1920 x 1080 frame?
The native resolution of the single sensor is 1920 x 1080. It is translated to
an HD image by a common (de)-Bayer pattern.
What is the aspect ratio?
www.pstechnik.de 43
The X35 will record images with an aspect ratio of 1:1.78 (in other words 16
x 9).
What is the optical image size?
The image size of the X35 for the active pixels is 21.1 x 11.9 mm, which is
24.2 mm in diagonal.
What is the pixel size of the censor?
The pixel size is 11 µm.
What will be the resolution when the X35 records RAW?
The X35 resolution in RAW will be 1920 X 1080.
Can the X35 handle 720p HD?
Yes. It handles 720p by windowing the 1920 X 1080 censor. In this case,
the optical image size is 14.1 x 7.9 mm
How does it work in slow motion? Is there any resolution loss with
750 fps (1.500 fps MK 2) ?
No. The high-speed mode does not window the sensor like other cameras.
The resolution and the image size remains at *1080 with 21.1 x 11,9 mm.

Codex provides its own mounting kit, which is similar to the ARRI Mounting kit. P+S Technik will provide a Black Magic Solution. Other solutions for
Convergent Design and AJA are under consideration.
Could the X35 use the ARRI viewfinder?
Unfortunately P+S Technik cannot provide a solution to use the Arri viewfinder. A market solution to use the Arri viewfinder is not known yet.
What is the actual spec of the viewfinder output?
www.pstechnik.de 44
The X35 contains a HD-SDI output for the viewfinder. This means according
to the used HD standrard the format is 1920*1080 or 720p.
What are the currently available viewfinder solutions that could be
used today on the camera? And what would P+S Technik‘s recom-
mended viewfinder be right now?
The recommended viewfinder is right now the TV Logic VFM-056W – 5.6”
High Resolution LCD Monitor:
http://www.tvlogicusa.com/product/product.php?idx=55.
P+S Technik provides a X35 solution with a P+S Technik made eyepiece
and hood for this viewfinder. There are some other VF in HD-SDI in the
market. P+S Technik would like to give users and operators the freedom of
choice with the HD-SDI output. Currently viewfinder solutions change rapidly
in the market.
