View Full Version : Can't Fault the Timing

The replacement of the F900 is delayed and no sign of a HD-SR Camcorder . The p2 1080 Varicam is looking late 2006. And we now have the Red Cam.
Vegas here I come.
Jim, are you taking orders?

I don't wanna start another thread but i might as well jump in.
The timing is interesting. I'm on "Jeff 'back to the old Solidworks drawing board' Kreines" mailing list over at his designated Kinetta forum and he promises to implement a new 4k sensor 'hinting' that it will be the same as Red's. Thus the image may be very similar but the camera not as "flashy".
The only delay to the Kinneta is the fact that he is waiting on this new sensor that has not seen the ‘public’ light of day but is ready to be mass manufactured.
He reckons he will have a street price cheaper than previously stated and that he will have a working model by NAB. Note: his camera (sensor) can do various frame rates. Plus he will have uncompressed out.
Interesting times.
I don't think I can give you his post due to copyright. Maybe someone could give me the legal lowdown [?]

I hope the Kinetta shows up working with a 4k sensor at NAB 2006. I'd be happy for him. But I promise you it will not be a 2540P 60fps camera and Jeff does not have access to our sensor.

Jim, are you saying that you already have a sensor capable of this? Or is it still a theoretical item?
Good luck!

All I am saying is that our sensor is proprietary...

That is a truly scrumptulescent answer.
The possibilities of Red give me goosebumps. Will the viewfinder be compatible with my Oakley 'Romeos'? For those sunny outdoor shoots.

Actually, the sunglasses idea isn't that bad. What if Oakley came out with a set of "wireless" glasses that projected the image the camera sees inside the shades? Like the Sony Glasstrons. And of course they would have to be red. And they also have a built in headphone system like the MP3 shades. Sir if you need another creative mind at your company, give me a shout!:) Good luck with everything and I hope you succeed in your venture.

The headphones option would be awesome!

still a theoretical item?
Jim probably thinks he can design a UHD sensor from an array of smaller edge-buttable CMOS sensors. It's very likely that will work. I think that's what JVC did with the CCD's in the HD100 (hence, the split screen effect...)
The astronomers have been doing it for years. Old news.

I thought the HD100 used a single (well 3) CCDs but 2 separate processors for the DSP. I think that is where the split screen comes from. I am braced to stand correected though.:laugh:
