  • 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

any updates on actual photos and prices?

We will announce final pricing heading into IBC. I'll sneak some pics out next month or maybe a few sooner ahead of IBC - when my Forged Weapon shows up :)

But all the designs and technical specs are very different from what we showed at NAB. MUCH better.

I'm trying to keep my cards a little closer to my chest until all things are locked and loaded - but our board - aka "The Omod Engine" (8 layers) has some pretty crazy functionality that I am dying to show off.

We not only interface with Weapon's IO - we have an ARM processor that can read and parse RCP commands and do things when you change settings on the camera. Stacey Spears is guiding the engineers on an open API for test pattern generation for color calibration that is revolutionary.

And in addition to the 3D LUT ability in the Weapon - The OMOD Engine will get you another TWO independent 33x33x33 3D LUTs, and you can store at least 16 of them - and lots of other goodness like wireless, internal GENLOCK. So, if you are shooting VR for example - with a bunch of cameras - you can lock TC and GENLOCK 100% with no wires.

We are also working on over a dozen new accessories for Weapon and plan to show as many as possible at IBC - so there's gonna be lots of options for ACs and Operators beyond the usual suspects.

I'll start teasing some images after the Forged Weapon arrives.

Mark, these look great, I'm looking forward to seeing how they have evolved.

It would be fantastic if I was able to to choose the HDMI or the SDI output to send over the Wireless feed, that way I could have a separate, simplified overlay for HDMI and send that to the director, while still running SDI to my AC's monitor on camera with important camera info.
 
Very exciting Mark. What long range solutions are you looking at? Range? 2000+ feet?

Thank you,

Remember Mark, you do eventually have to ship at some point. :) And as soon as you ship, you will have a brilliant idea on how to improve everything. That is the life of engineering a product.

I can't wait to finally see what you unveil. It has been fun to watch the progression.

Very true. Which is why we spent a little (well ... a lot actually) extra time on a system architecture design that will allow us to "improve everything" and make variations with a fraction of the time and expense it would take to approach a single, specific module moving forward.

Mark, will it be announced on RU first or will early adopters with deposits get emails or both? Thanks!

Same time most likely - but I'll give the early adopter group a heads up. Getting closer. Lot of last minute changes. Just started working on the simultaneous, live HDR & SDR monitoring support - which makes me very happy :)
