Meet world’s smallest global shutter broadcast camera — the Atom Two!
Dream Chip Technologies, a producer of miniature and point-of-view cameras, is launching its latest innovation, the AtomTwo camera, at NAB 2025.
Building on the success of the widely used AtomOne series, the AtomTwo brings a new level of quality and convenience to the sports and production market.
In a self-contained package just 29mm x 29mm x 33mm, the new AtomTwo offers high dynamic range (HDR) quality with a huge dynamic range. The integral 4.5mm lens provides a 90˚ field of view for body-worn ref cams, as well as fixed POV uses. Weighing only 55g, including lens and stereo microphone, it can also be mounted on a miniature drone, giving broadcasters viewpoints which have been impossible in the past.
According to Dream Chip, the AtomTwo is the smallest camera with a global shutter available on the market today and is vital in high-value productions like sports, where a rolling shutter creates very visible distortions and disturbances.
Its colour reproduction, global shutter and wide colour gamut features make it simple to match box cameras in major productions. Being able to cut freely between the AtomTwo and system cameras frees directors from creative restrictions and delivers higher production values to the viewer.
Dr. Ing. Jan Peter Berns, CSO/ CFO, Dream Chip, said, “During the development programme of the AtomTwo we had experienced users coming in and really put the camera through its paces.
“They found they could match it to a system camera so well that it was hard for even an expert shader to tell which was which.”
The new AtomTwo camera will be demonstrated at NAB, alongside the range of Atom cameras, all of which are proven with some of the most demanding and high-profile sports and concert productions, according to Dream Chip. To find out more about the transformations that the Dream Chip approach to high performance imaging, AI-driven video processing and advanced camera technologies can bring to today’s productions, visit booth N1807 during NAB 2025, which is taking place from April 5 to 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
