Musetex Red Rocket MobileSuite (since RED will get on my case so we call it RR MobileSuite)

If you are on facebook, I posted my new integration (meant to be public last November but I was too busy to test) with RED Rocket™, MacBookPRO, Magma ExpressBox2 and SmallTree GraniteSTOR. It's really really sensational.

I know you, Sanjin, know that this ExpressBox2 works at x8 speed when you connected to Mac Pro unlike other expansion boxes. So no compromise on Red Rocket's speed when you connect this box to Mac Pro AND gives you extra X8 PCIe slot.
 
Nice setup.

I dont see the point on using the tvlogic though at all.

Dvi out the macbookpros only going to be 8 bit no ? may as well just use a higher res computer monitor no ?

or am i missing something?

cheers for the pics :)
 
With a display like TVLogic XVM-245W or LVM-243W, you can calibrate them both with DVI, HDSDI and HDMI connections with proper Colorimator like K10/Calman. So whatever way you monitor will have proper calibration. They also will work as preview monitor while you shoot with RED ONE. We've been getting happy words from our clients when we take those monitors to jobs, so we see very good points about the monitor.

Thanks Kaku,

good to know that.
 
Oh Simon, you probably skipped on reading the second photo that TVLogic is working via HDSDI from RED ROCKET's HDSDI output. That will give you portable but very precise (depending on the room condition you are in) one light grading environment.

I've been actually using the Magma ExpresBox2 with Mac Pro having the RED ROCKET and other cards like MXO2 PCIe card, Blackmagicdesign's Multibrdige Pro card, SmallTree's 10gb ethernet card, LSI's miniSAS card for LTO4 connection. They're all working fine.
 
So, will RED let me be a RED ROCKET dealer?

Kaku,

you can connect HP Dreamcolor that is true 30bit color monitor using
AJA Hi5-3G HD-SDI to HDMI converter and get much better color control over your footage
because HP Dreamcolr is 10bit per channel

the world’s only 30-bit color-critical LCD built on HP DreamColor Engine technology

and TV Logic XVM-245W has "only"

10-bit, 1,073,741,824 Colors Support.


And HP Dreamcolor is a fraction of TV Logic XVM-245W price.

Just count on that facts.
 
I have a DreamColor, too so it's up to the customer to choose what display he wants to connect. For lowcost solution we recommend Mitsubishi Visio. TVLogic is rugged, can be rack mounted and has all the inputs and functions for REAL professional jobs.

Also, TVLogic Provides dual link HDSDI connection (optional). I have pretty much every kinds of monitors but I'm actually dropping Dream Color for my choice of monitor for Mac because it is not convenient to calibrate it on Mac with Klein K10 and Calman.

Even using dual link on the monitor or 30-bit per channel speculation is virtual to me after getting used to calibrating all of them with Klein K10/Calman.

I have to add that, if I was on Windows machine, I think Dream Color is really really useful.
 
hahaha Sanjin, we should focus what we can do with the system instead of talking about the optional monitor choice. By the way, I've used many other calibration colorimeters including X-rite. Do you actually know what K10/Calman can do?
 
I take back on the Calgidit RAID card choice, unfurtunately it booted without drives connected, but with HD Element box connected, it crashed (RAID card did work with Mac Pro, tho). I will find some other choice on the RAID card or non RAID host card.
 
X-Rite’s Hubble vs. Klein K-10

"The Hubble is a non-contact, laser-guided colorimeter
that is uniquely capable of measuring precisely and quickly in the dark,
which is a vital requirement when working with film images
in a digital intermediate theater environment.
A key advantage of the Hubble is that it is a single,
portable device - able to measure both monitors and projectors,
and yet very easy to use."

and X-Rite’s Hubble is the winner.

Sorry Kaku but you look as a techno-fair-goer loser...
 
On that FB photo of your gear you refer to an Atlier, do you mean Atelier, as in an artists workshop or is that some other term I am not familiar with?
 
Oh yes, you are the greatest Sanjin.

Kaku,

as usual and always.

BTW, I have seen HP Dreamcolor, Cinetal and TV Logic side by side at IBC 2009.

And I'm happy to hook my HP Dreamcolor to RR dual HD-SDI out via AJA Hi5-3G with Mac BookPro,

smaller/one slot Magma PC Xpress enclosure and LaCie Big 2TB FW 800 :001_tt2:
 
Okay, thanks. I'm a TVLogic dealer in Japan. Thank you very much for supporting my business.
