is it true that the millenium chip is the Canon one from the 24x36 digital eos
as are the lenses also from Canon, that could explain the relatively cheap price of the glasses, but T-Stop should be a must

Should answer the basics. The Mysterium sensor is proprietary, I believe. Even if it is manufactured by Canon, nobody is spilling the beans at RED.

 

[Evin Grant]

I would be very surprised if Canon was making the chip.

 

[Eugene]

at least get the name of the chip right

at least get the name of the chip right

millenium chip

I Googled Millenium Chip"

I think you mean Mysterium Chip, as in it's a mystery who makes it, as in the Red Team ain't gonna tell you if Canon makes it or not. I don't think they do, nor the lenses.

 

[Poi Boy]

is that the millenium falcon ?

[tj williams]

is it the Mysterium Falcon and the millineum chip or.....

For those of us terminally computer dumb... thats a board not a chip right????

 

[Fergus Meiklejohn]

:whistling: I'd be very surprised too if Canon was making the chip or the lenses. Canon and RED are potentially major competitors. If you think about it: Canon already make great DSLR chips and lenses that they want to sell and they have been in the Indie filmmaking market for some time (xl1.. xl2.. xlh1..) So it's a no brainer for Canon to seek to make a rival for RED. Whether they can solve all the many hurdles to making such a great camera at this price point is another question eh:weight_lift:
I don't care much. RED are designing a wonderful camera package. It's not a just a 4K chip, in it's ergonomics and workflow it seems to have been really well thought out.
But all this pre-June 15th conjecture still leaves the mystery unanswered of the Mysterium chip. I'm convinced they are being constructed by teams of highly trained Chinese mice, and Mr Jannard's last 5% nightmare is getting a system down to remove all their little paw prints from the front of the sensor (they have to push it on you see..):bye2:

 

[Jarred Land]

Canon makes some bad ass cameras ( my new mark III is a testament to that ) but there real strength isn't in sensor design but in DSP.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

MKIII, eh? Awesome! What L lenses do you own, Jarred?

My first guess would be that Forza is the manufacturer of the Mysterium. Their whole company was designed to provide stuff like cutting-edge CMOS sensors to companies with relatively low volume, at least initially.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

I think it is a custom made CMOS chip that Jim paid for to a single person or a group of engineers like a chip designers. I think is not any particular company involved. Could be off corporate independent group or a person. It could be like this that Jim had a wish of 4K CMOS chip design and somebody said that could make it. And it happened. This kind of chip you could produce in Taiwan, Korea or California.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Forza is up in LA somewhere.

[Tom Lowe]

Any spottings of Jannard's various forms of transportation in Pasadena, people?

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

No way of these sort of "tracking". Mysterium also means a mysterious way of communicating with a chip designer(s). Otherwise competitors would "get an idea" soon about a chip design. It's a sort of high-tech silicon industry thriller. If they would catch you in that way you immediately loose.

 

[Tom Lowe]

yeah Jim would look a little conspicuous driving his tractor-trailer sized SUV up there. perhaps he rents a Hyundai for the trips? either that or Jim just communicates with them like Lord Sidious in Star Wars, a hologram of a mysterious hooded figure giving out instructions for the domination of world-wide digital cinema. h34r:

Lord Jannard: Begin the attack.

Forza Engineers: My Lord, is that legal?

Lord Jannard: I will make it legal.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Maybe Ted is doing all wearing a wig like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.

 

[albert rudnicki]

I don't thing it's relevant; with all do respect.
Let it be, just let it be....

 

[Poi Boy]

I love that mysterium is a mystery... I wonder how long they can keep it that way ? pretty hard thing to do.
