HD-SDI external recorder device?

We don't need for an uncompressed HD recording, a real portable 10-bit Cineform option would be enough. If there is already one solution with the Mini Silicon Imaging cam, can we have a similar solution from there, David?
 
Maybe soon. What is missing is a HDSDI capture solution for PCExpress (the new laptop PC-Card format.) Then you would be about to capture CineForm 10-bit to a very fast laptop (maybe a Merom 2.33Ghz system.) We are looking into it. SI uses gigE so that doesn't need HDSDI.
 
Nik,

you are missing the point, the laptop is not all that portable if it requires a 60 pound hardware encoder. We are taking 10-bit HD ingest with the laptop alone.

Emanuel,

Yes, that is the type of device we are waiting on. However, they haven't responsed to our inquiries so I don't know how soon that product will be available.
 
OK I'll be waiting... Your product is the best indie offer, David. I can tell you, I've been showing your product to every european moviemaker that I know and ALL are very impressive with your superior codec features and workflow. Specially format agnostic but at same time in every fronts. You'll have a lot of customers around the corner.
 
No pictured is Avid Adrenaline with a hardware acceleration for the compressor, much more than a drive enclosure. CineForm Intermediate is significantly faster, so it doesn't require expensive hardware.
 
David,

Will CineForm implementation with FCP possibly do this trick: ingest HD-SDI H1/G1 24F and remove pulldown?

This would be a compelling feature. (I'm aware that the Wafian does it...I'd just like to see it implemented with the FCP capture window)
 
Prospect HD dopes it within Premiere Pro today, so CineForm can do it, we just have to determine if FCP is flexible enough to allow us to do this.
 
Yes. We going to have Mac versions of CineForm RAW to support the Silicon Imaging camera in Q4, and very likely have CineForm Intermediate running as a compressor/decompressor under QT, but not yet RT with FCP (due issues with FCP, not CineForm.)

great great idea
 
hey people..

i received some amazing info on GREAT news for the next days.. from a trustful source.. stay tuned.. and if you're interested to buy the a1 instead g1 because you're thinking there won't be a better portable solution than hdv, wait and see..
 
wouldn't this pretty much make the A1 a G1? While saving us 2 grand? Would this not handle 24f?

If cineform comes out with something and the above product will work, I'll stick with my A1 pre-order and grab one of these and whatever cineform delivers (unless it's crazy expensive, seems like they need to stay under a grand at this point)

Here's to waiting and hoping.
