DSMC2 Video transmitter MODULE

Do we know if it has a on/off switch ? Wireless is not alway useful, and it is energy consuming.

good point...hopefully this wasn't overlooked.

I've talked about it with Mark last year so hopefully it has been added when the product design shifted to teradek.

hmmm...one step forward, two back. This would be a deal breaker for most.
I don't know many people that use HDMI...but losing one of the monitor paths on camera is not a good idea. We must be able to use an EVF and LCD at the same time.

Greg - I know

Spec isn't 100% locked on this. But here is a current design ready for production which is based on the HDMI path. It is much less complex to do it that way.

But I'm pushing hard for a version that takes the SDI from the brain - which would solve the EVF issue and TC/run/stop meta data as well - but that will take a little longer and that does cost a little more than current design.

Maybe there should be two versions - less expensive HDMI based version - which is done now and get to market pretty quickly after final RED certification - and then a more expensive no-compromise SDI based version??

Let's see how it shakes out. But yeah - all posts and opinions here do get read by the Teradek brass and the engineering team. So ... don't be shy. Tell us what you want and what matters

Gless expensive HDMI based version

I'm in for 1 HDMI Bolt 500 ;-)

 

[jacob.schwarz]

+1 for sdi version.

 

[Jeff Garton]

I would take two of the SDI version for sure.

 

[Sean Solowiej]

+1 for 500 SDI (just in case this thread turns into a legitimate GB...)

 

[Yannick Sadler]

+1 for SDI. HDMI only is a deal breaker for me (and for a lot of people).

A TX on/off switch would be a very desirable option for power saving.

HDSDI or HDMI I'll take the first one on the market.
