Re: RealStream Andromeda
I shot an email over to Juan and you don't have to have the mod box connected to a laptop. You can hookup a USB drive to a battery, which is much more practical than lugging around a laptop. Should be interesting to see where this develops.

Re: RealStream Andromeda
THis is serious. It's the result from one year of hardwork and research, and it's still in beta. But if Juan get this figured out, the DVX WILL BE the 24p HD camera for less than 5000 bucks. It's not for everybody, I think, If you work with your DVX for events I'd rather get a second one (used, and preferrably the 100 model - since all the circuitry is bypassed) and mess with that. But it could be a HUGE breaktrough in the Indy digital cinema world. Just as any homemade solution that might appear in a near future. it would work just like a Film Camera: Shoot "Blind", Take it home later for developing, edit offline, etc... and almost as good as, but for a tiny fraction of the cost. I, for one am very excited with it.

>Sounds really good but I don't know if I want to void the waranty on my DVX. Now if it only cost like 50 bucks I might reconsider.
For those who are concerned with the price, check out
http://www.thomsongrassvalley.com/products/cameras/viper/
per pixel you are recieving the same data quality from andromeda as you would the viper.
how much does this cost?
its a little more than $50...
You obviously have no idea how much data rates like this cost.
We will be lucky if it is under $10,000.
But, for those of us who are actually professionals...that much money will be well spent.

Re: RealStream Andromeda
Don't do that to us man, I am drewling over my keyboard, and apple white keyboards are a pain to clean...
It's a very interesting product, it's not a must have, and truly, for everybody that will be doing run and gun, it's not worth it. A lot of professionals do that, so I wouldn't say it's a product for every professional out there, but this I can say:
If you plan on doing commercials, short films or a feature, it could be a good investment, and could prove the DVX to be even more then we thought. Also, from the images posted so far, the Andromeda Image seems so clean and grainless that I'm already very impressed.

Re: RealStream Andromeda
Shaw-
I'm trying to work out how the Andromeda will give us true slow mo. Can you walk us thru it?
I know the system only does Uncompressed so 4:2:2 seems like would only be possible to apply to the uncompressed footage later on in post.
Also are you talking about over cranking in progressive or interlaced? And what about play back (Progressive or Interlaced?)
Correct me if Im wrong but I really dont believe that your going to get any higher frame rates then 60i or 30P with the Andromeda. Frame rate is a function of the camera's CCDs and not a issue of the quality of your recording medium (ie. uncompressed v.s. MiniDV). Where are you getting this info?

What do you mean the circuity is bypassed? Vs. the DVX100a? Wouldn't this only matter if you were going to use Andromeda (and even then I'm not exactly sure what you mean.)

Re: RealStream Andromeda
I am excited by this product's potential also. But I have a delicate question: Have any of you personally seen Andromeda in action? Met the developers? Sometimes when something sounds almost too good to be true...
Thanks,

Re: RealStream Andromeda
It's an interesting idea; but after all is said and done our little $4000.00 camcorder will be packaged at $15,000 Plus Dollars. Like putting a spoiler on a Datsun. I've made it a rule of thumb NOT to spend more on any accesory that is worth more than the camera.

Re: RealStream Andromeda
He says it'll cost less than a new DVX. According to his forum the Andromeda system should be out this summer.
But by the time it comes out there may be a new DVX model out.
