dual capture

[ecos]

hello!

I want to capture a lecture

I will constantly (no need to move or zoom) capture the slides area and the speaker area

is there a camera that can do that at the same time? eg, that has dual lenses or some other kind of technology?

if not, is there a camera that can record both in a good quality ?

thanks!

maybe. depends on what you mean. is the problem that the speaker and screen are far apart and the video will need to be in focus on both? then it would depend on the distance between them, the amount of light, and the speed of the camera lens. with alot of light and a very expensive low "f" number lens it might work ok. but i doubt if slides are being shown there would be anywhere near enough light. i would say use 2 cameras and then use multi-cam editing to put the videos together into one.

in some cases, this might be, yes :S
