RPPs in NYC

[jaadgy akanni]

Love it, love it, love it. Am I crazy or do the RPP's exhibit a Zeissy texture, which I just adore...whaddaya guys think?

I totally agree: light-loss and depth of field are issues that make fullframe a difficult format for cinema. More than 5K sounds awesome but comes at a price.

I don't want to run off with Mark's thread but what is this all about? Coming from video I thought a full 35mm sensor and cine glass was kind of the holy grail for digital cinema.

Thanks mark for the footage.

"For Sanjin" haha.. :)

Thank you for sharing, Mark! Looks like it was a fun "test" of the RPPs.

[Mark Pedersen]

Exactly! I want my RPPs to last 20 years. I asked Jim about that and he seemed to think they would. Also, he said they designed them for economical repair, being of an internal modular design (as he described to me at NAB)

Shawn, could you elaborate on what he told you? Or Jim? I know UPs are designed to be easily serviced, I was wondering how the RPPs compare in that regard.

Shawn is correct.. the RPP's have a cellular mechanical design that will accelerate repair time tremendously.

We are targeting a 48 hour turn around instead of the normal 2 weeks... This is an important piece to the puzzle that was important ( at least to us) as we know if one lens goes down that means that for some people the whole set is put on the shelf till it gets fixed.

[I Bloom]

Cellular mechanical?

Is this another phrase for interchangable parts or sections that can be replaced easily?

[Jarred Land]

Thats correct Ian...

[Jason Diamond]

one more step on the modular design chain i'm assuming. makes sense if it can be achieved efficiently without affecting quality/functionality. which it seems (until i get my hands on some ;)) has been accomplished.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Cellular mechanical?

I'd still like to know where I can obtain some unobtanium...

[I Bloom]

Thats correct Ian...

That's a relief.
I was thinking either a new kind of Terminator or a really old school mobile phone.
