SMX-12A2C Camera "or" RED-One in 2K ??

[George D.]

What other accessories would you need to make a SMX-12A2C Camera comparable to a RED-One?

The "kit" is as follows:

> # SMX-12A2C Camera
> # Tripod adapter
> # CAT 5E or CAT 6 Gigabit Ethernet cable (optional)
> # Power over Ethernet adapter (optional)
> # Trigger connector
> # IR-cut filter
> # Camera Application Software
> # API Library


I've been investigating this camera, and it's price is very reasonable, but hard to believe it could match the quality of video coming from the RED-One in 2K. I realize the RED-One can go as high as 4K, but I'm only interested in it's comparison with this camera in the 2K mode.

If anyone has the knowledge or experience in using the SMX-12A2C camera I'd appreciate your feedback on this issue.

Thanks.

hmm... I'm sure I'm very little help to you but I looked up the specs for the SMX-12A2C which will be the first line towards getting a comparable 2k image and quite honestly there's not enough specs to make a call. In fact, the lack of specs on the unit would have me moving in the other direction pretty quickly. The fact that is says "Full HD 1080/60p resolution (1920 x 1080)." tell me that might not actually be so true. Usually true 1920x1080 captures in proogressive shoot at 24fps and interlaced at 60i (hides the 24p image in 60i) so this could be the case OR they could be saying that it only shoots in 60i... if you look at the specs you really have no idea. Other questions too like what's the Chip size? And for only $2,750 I'd tell you right there it's not oging to be like a Red One 2k.
