LDK 8300 high-definition (HD) camera not only operates in 3X speed but is switchable among 1X, 2X, and 3X speeds. It's perfect for all slow motion tasks in sports production while offering unmatched operational flexibility and maximum utilization. Based on our unique HD-DPM+™ sensors, the LDK 8300 camera can be natively switched between 1080i and 720p formats. And its AnyLight feature eliminates flicker caused by artificial lighting
