  • 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 :)

EPIC > ProRes via AJA KiPro Mini

Can you generate proper slowmo prores footage eg.300fps with this box ?

you'll have to record to internal ssd first and than play out over sdi to record. unfortunately epic has no internal playback at the moment, you could always do it out of a rocket.
 
Ah I see, thx for clarification tom. I was thinking live record during take, one straight to ssd and the other one via hd-sdi. I guess the only way to record proper slowmo is after the recording.

Deanan any wild estimates regards playback on the Epic? Without it, the Ki Pro mini is only half a solution (glass half full, not empty) as it's only really good for shots taken at the base frame rate.

I wouldn't agree with that assessment. KiPro plus epic is very powerful for many situations. Playback is a side effect.

Of course, playback is #1 on the priority list currently.

Finally happened, thanks AJA, also to RED team...!!!

The next step should be HDMI out to Ninja or similar BM lightweight SSD HDMI recorders...
 
I'd say that with this kind of third party solution maybe a "wireless module" is more important than a "proxy module". The key Pro records everything just about any NLE can handle and with TC support it's a great solution.

A "wireless module", somthing that distributes a low rez image stream from the camera around the set (or to a director/producer/VFX house/ etc half a world away who can't be on set). That would be pretty slick.


Maybe much more handy than a proxy module.

Something like a Teradek Cubelets™ Encoder/Decoder Pair HDMI or HD-SDI camera-top wireless HD video encoder/decoder ideally suited for on-set video monitoring as well as full-scale film production

agree... this would be sick. i hope somebody makes that happen. worst case scenario an iphone could pick up the wireless stream and broadcast.
 
great solution for 3D playback and because of filenames they can use it to offline thier edit.....Im going to suggest it for the epic 3d feature i start next week.....

Well, it's less useful for editing, than for playback, when it comes to varispeed footage, so I'm not sure what you're saying...
And I've only ever seen the Ki Pro mini bought and used for playback.

anyway... BRING ON THE PLAYBACK IN CAMERA!! :)
 
My experience with the Teradeck is that it is not good for high quality monitoring
due to its latency and the high compression. Also the other solutions for wireless HD
that I know (IDX camwave, Transvideo Titan) are not a very good solution due to
their relatively short distances especally in buildings!

So a wireless solution which provides fast and high quality wireless preview isn't
still available at a good pricepoint. So if RED provides better solutions it would
be a great deal!

(I know that's not the topic of the thread, but it has been brought up there ;-)

I'm with you Mark... Kipro is good for clients, agency.. producers, maybe onset editors, VFX teams doing quick comps.. But when your the DP on a huge set and shooting super quick, screaming out through the radios for video playback or walking back to video village is the last thing you want to do.

I rate the KI PRO mini as the best pack back side tool for EPIC, .. but nothing, and I mean nothing! beats pressing a button on the camera and watching back what you just shot 1 second after you shot it.

Anyway... I'm sure RED are trying very hard to get it working. I know Jim is probably more keen than all of us.
I doubt they are holding it back for EPIC X launch... well I hope not.
 
Does the autostop function work for with edge code output (via arm recording) or also with normal timecode output?
