  • 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 :)

OFFHOLLYWOOD OMOD Modules for RED WEAPON

Can these modules be used on top of modules like the base expander?
 
mark, looks like the omod pro could integrate a shoulderpad if the base wasn't flat, seems like it'd be at a pretty good spot for camera balance too if you're flying an anton or two on the back.

Come to Cinegear and I'll blow your mind. We had to rush so much just to be at NAB - LOTS of stuff not ready to show or reveal that will be revealed at Cinegear. And I needed the feedback and validation before betting the farm. It's all on. Amazing feedback and ideas from all the right guys at the show.

guess there will be a lot of happy redusers if the OMOD ES PRO is the meizler/pro I/O a lot of people have been asking for. Probably mostly depending on the price - would it be reasonable to produce a base I/O - ES module? Mini XLR, wifi, etc similar to the mini? At least if it brings price down, I guess that would be a nice option. Although I have no clue what the ES-PRO will cost, I assume it's not going to be too cheap... ;)

No. You can't "stack" I/O modules onto I/O modules with the Weapon platform - you can only one I/O module and have a battery module on the end of that if you want - or, you can directly attach a battery plate (AB or V-Mount).

We got a ton of great feedback at the show and we are making a LOT of changes to these preliminary designs - we will show final, working designs at Cinegear in June and announce pricing. Very excited about our new partnership with C-Motion!

Please do a small compact I/O module (like the Base Expander) with 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 4K HDMI/SDI output.

Do you know if this is even possible with the Weapon platform?
 
Really interesting stuff Mark

I am assuming the OMOD LT has a 6pin power lemo in? (Typo in spec sheet?)... Pretty much no value to me without a power in...?

Also since you are intergrating ambient TC functionality. (Great move .. I have all the new ambient stuff).. I am assuming other devices can sync to the module. also how do you control the ambient?

Thanks

Yes, LT will have a 6-pin Lemo power in.

Like I said, some spec and design is changing based on feedback at NAB - the majority of interest at NAB was for the MINI and W-PRO - so, I'm actually exploring the possibility to see if I can just make the LT the "module body" of the W-PRO so that customers can buy the LT and then upgrade/expand to the W-PRO by adding the riser/backplate which facilitates up to two "module-in-a-modules" (wireless video & lens control). Not sure if I can do it, but I'll know in the next few days. Also, overwhelmingly - folks at NAB asked for just the AB or V-Mount pate directly on the MINI & LT - so they did not have to buy a Battery Module or plate - and that is less expensive and easier for me - so we are gonna drop the RED Weapon Battery Module interface and just offer all OMODz with AB or V0-Mount plates directly attached.

With respect to controlling the Ambient - I'll get into all the details just before Cinegear - but the short answer is that the Ambient board is docked on our video processing board - which does have a USB mini for config - BUT - I got the Ambient team to read RCP on the hardware - so, if you want, you can change frame-rate of the TC by changing the frame rate on the camera, etc. - or - by jamming into the 5-pin lemo - and there's more - but I'll reveal all functionality in a video with a real, working unit headed into Cinegear.

Bummer, I will be using the RED battery module myself.

Do the mini-XLR audio inputs support analog and digital audio input? I am interested in digital myself.

is this to allow an new integrated internal follow focus system?

I'm guessing like most people it's be:

  • Wifi for Foolcontrol(weapon already has Wifi)
  • FHSS 2.4hz for Follow Focus
...be cool if you add wireless video h.265 for reference similar to a Anton Bauer AB-HTX 5.8 GHz

...maybe Cine tape, which could be part of the uncompressed video signal... Paralinx/Teradek with a Cinetape on-screen graphic? could take sh*t to the next level....

Stacey - we are going to offer the MINI with RED battery module interface.

On the W-PRO, audio is analog or digital, line or mic. Was only planning on analog audio on the MINI - but I can see if digital is possible - GOTHAM SOUND is designing my audio board - I'll know soon how small it is.

Sounds like you are interested in the MINI but with digital audio?

Wonderful! For those wanting to use non-XL, ET has the V-Lock and AB batteries in the RED battery module interface, so they there is a battery solution for everyone.

That would be ideal, but not a deal breaker. I plan to record dual by sending audio into a Sound Devices 633 first and was hoping to send digital audio out of the 633 into the MINI-TC. If its analog only, that would work too. I know you have a price point to try and hit with the MINI. I think I am most excited about the Ambient TC built-in. Then I can use their TC slate and the ACN Tiny LockIt with the SD633.

The TC works through the backplane, correct? Meaning we don't need to plug a cable from the MINI-TC back into the body somehow.

From an aesthetic point of you, can you make the connectors on the side more sleek/angled like the Red base expander? :) No big deal if you can't.

Thank you for listening.
 
Mark, what is the minimum number of ACN devices needed? e.g. For my doc interviews, I will be using the ACN-LS TimeCode slate and the OMOD MINI-TC on camera. For the audio recorder (SD 633) can I use the Tiny Lockit? Is that all I need? I guess what I am asking, do I need the MasterLockit? This is a simple one camera doc interview scenario. Maybe the wireless ACN is overkill, but I like the concept.

All you need is a Tiny Lockit.
