  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Who knows anything about this 65mm cmos cam?

Rocketeer,

the camera you refer to is actually from NAC, the most respected company (Japanese) producing high speed cameras for scientific applications. You can buy them, but again, very expensive and complicated systems.

Yes, Arri refer to them in the print for the camera. Arri must be marketing the camera for them? or have exclusive rental rights.

Just in case you missed it on the linked Arri page, the Tornado pdf link:

Rocketeer,

the camera in the Tornado system as shown in the pdf, looks like the NAC Memrecam fx K4, with the Arri mark on it. Check the www.nacinc.com NAC website. Probably they integrate the camera system with accessories and rent it. Anyway, you can buy NAC cameras directly from NAC.

And again very expensive. I hope that RED can change something in that Deparmtent.

I was over at ARRI a few months ago and saw some of the footage coming off the Tornado. Quite incredible. It was of some parkour (free running) in Paris. Most of it was shot very wide, and the guys were doing these amazing jumps towards the camera. Because of the extreme slow-motion, you never quite knew whether they were going to make it or not! The image quality was impressive, too.

The reason that you can only film in bursts with the camera is not due to overheating, it's because you can only record solid-state. Obviously there's only so much you can record at that kind of data rate before needing to dump it off to disk or tape. Working with the footage didn't look entirely straightforward, either. I think ARRI had to buy a Quantel eQ to be able to view and use it. Hopefully real-world usability will be a major advantage of the Red camera.

First post here. Hi everyone.
