Incredible...

Jim, you are a very bad man!!

Question: how many duplicates of a module can you have at once? Three CF modules? 4 Battery modules? Can you just keep going? Can you go sideways from any point? Can you Tee out from some module other than the brain?

Can you separate the modules by a cable and put 'em 6', 10' or 100' apart from one another? Will there be a Tesla module that allows you to send power wirelessly to the brain

Since I started using my 20-120 Angenieux as much as I do now (thanks again Jorge), I've gotten a lot of miles from my battery belt clip and 6' drive cable. The more you can strip your shoulder weight for the long winded verite shoot the better. I was shooting from the inside of a prototype race car two days ago that I could barely fit the camera into. Sure wish I coulda made the body three inches long!

Be great for motorcycle or RC helicopter or race car based shooting if you could get that brain all by itself to any degree, cables being the hoped for concession of reality.

Uhh.. What's that piece on the Left Side of the Brain?

Rough idea of modules...

Note that there are two sizes of REDVOLT batteries.

I can't quite figure out what that piece is... Anybody?

Single-slot CF Module.

I thought that was the small CF-module that comes with Scarlet...

 

[Wesley Scoggins]

If you have a CF and SSD module connected at the same time, can you output the same data to both simultaneously, or switch back and forth without having to change them out?

 

[Montanha]

Man, this camera sure is sexy!

I was wondering about the small LCD... beneath the view finder... is it possible to use it to monitory something else? Like false color, a histogram or any other thing and check on my frame with the view finder?

I don't see a reason why you couldn't. :thumbup1:

 

[Montanha]

This would be really great!
Would save some time, and give more comfort!

well ... it would be off the hook to able to have 1:1 (pixel for pixel) zoom in active while shooting ... ACs would love that - that might be hoping for a bit much but you never know ... but I'd actually be surprised if you couldn't have false color, etc active on the LCD and not in the EVF.

 

[Felix K.]

Yes. Let's not forget the "stills" part of the system. I think a professional photographer would like to have all the data on that (like ISO, auto-focus setting, meter, shutter speed...) that normally go on that little display on top of a DSLR. But I guess they have lot's of other special features for that.

I wonder, how much of the specs will come with the schedule?

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

End of 2010.

I dont think the US dollar will be in existence by the end of 2010...

Dont hold your breath.. our economy hasn't even begun the real decline

This would be all really great!
I must say I'm really anxious! Can barely wait.

 

[Ken Willinger]

I know I must be missing it but where is the input for the current hard drives on the rendered modules?

I guess they are not in these photos.
I haven't seen them either, just the card slot and module.

Wow, that would be incredible, indeed! Viewfinder with WYSIWYG image for camera op, and a separate LCD with 1:1 zoom (or waveform, or false color) for the AC. Unreal.

Jim, I think you're going to have an all out riot on your hands if the release dates aren't announced soon! :torsten_violent-smi

 

[Robert Jackson]

Use your imagination here.

All your base are belong to us.

I'm pretty sure this was the original design for the starship Remus in Galaxy of Terror. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't knock DSLR stuff...

perhaps a conoe to a Battleship?

RED stuff may be better, but for the price you can't beat the image quality of the 5D mark 2. Due mainly to a sensor the size of a full frame of 35mm film. Now is rolling shutter still an issue? YES Are you only limited to one framerate as of now? YES. Are DSLR's awkward to shoot with? YES But for $2,600, the image quality and potential for a very shallow DOF blow 1/3 video cameras out of the water.

Just my two cents....

 

[Russ Lasson]

I'll just add that in certain situations, it would be great to have an adaptor that would allow the different modules to be connected by a cable. So you could have the brain/lens on in one location, then use a cable adaptor module to run do the other modules.
