I get a press pass to NAB each year and my mailbox is always stuffed with new (and old) product announcements. I have gotten several from this group, whose website so far consists of a splash page:
www.meduzasystems.com
They claim to be unveiling a new modular "Beyond 4K" camera system. They are unveiling it on Tuesday - I won't be able to attend, but I wonder if anyone else will. I'm curious to see if there is anything to it. They claim to be building a system weighing less than 15 pounds, for stereo.
I don't want to reprint their press release, but here's an excerpt:
* No synchronization issues -- One set of electronics with one set of controls to power two stereo sensors. This eliminates the many problems inherent in all other stereoscopic camera systems as both sensors are powered by one “clock.” The result is no fixed pattern noise difference as both images are processed the same way and there is no color aberration as both sensors heat up similarly.
* Eliminates built in obsolescence -- The Meduza body does not contain any sensors. Digital sensors double in capability every 18 months. It typically takes a manufacturer 18 months to 3 years to bring a new camera to market, thus it is obsolete the first day it is delivered. The part of the Meduza camera carrying the sensor is an add-on module and can accept and work with sensors made by any manufacturer and can be swapped in seconds. The latest sensor technology will be available in perpetuity.
* A Meduza Systems technical session will be held, Tues., April 12, at 1p.m., NAB Meeting Room C203.
* Meduza Systems NAB Booth Number C12437.
