  • 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

Will OMOD for Weapon be interchangeable with the SCARLET-W body? Or is it too early to tell?

Mark posted a picture of OMOD attached to a Scarlet-W Sunday evening on his Facebook page.

Now that the DSMC2 line is complete, can't wait for the full specs for OMOD's :)
 
Any news Mark? I just got my Weapon allocation email.
BTW, I may have a job in January/February that will take me back to the Arctic, if you'd like me to test out how the OMODZ handle extreme cold ;P
 
Does ANYONE have any idea how much the OMOD mini will be? and also.. am I reading this correct? this module has a feature that keeps your camera sync from drifting? what slate/audio recorder unit do I need to make this work? Are these products going to be released soon?

All depends on what you want it to do. There will be different variants so you can customize features to match your needs.

As far as the sync question, you should research Ambient ACN.
Rather than try to write a narrative, start here: http://ambient.de/en/product/acn/
Then look at the individual products.
No more velcro for Lockit boxes hanging on the camera. No more remembering to manually jam sync. Eliminating cables. Everything in sync to the same settings.


Mark is working on the announcements and refreshed web site.

This product looks extremely promising in so many ways.

Looking very much forward to any updates, specially on price

Since the natives are getting restless - here's an "partial" update:

All OMODs work on WEAPON, RAVEN and the recently revealed SCARLET-W.

There are more than a "FEW" choices of OMODs :)

I’m working to get the OMOD.IO website 100% updated with specs and all the prices on the initial OMOD models - to be finished one week from today or sooner. I’ll post in this thread when it's live.

In the meantime, here is what I can tell you:

OMOD models that have the "OMOD Engine" for color / video / timecode processing share the same API for color LUT/CDL processing as TERADEK's COLR which was developed in tandem with OMOD. The OMOD Engine has a lot more features of course, but ALL the color processing features in TERADEK COLR will be in OMOD and we have had COLR beta units in the field on major shows for weeks now with new features and functionality added every few days. (I'm going to start a new thread in a few hours after I have dinner about TERADEK COLR for 3D LUTs and FoolControl on DSMC cameras)

Pomfort Live Grade integration is complete.
CODEX Live integration is in process.
COLORFRONT integration is in process.
QTAKE integration is in process.

OMOD will work wireless with all of those apps - and all of those integrations will be 100% before OMOD's ship and that firmware is evolving every day now with features that will make you forget how to spell FUJI.

We are supporting RTmotion via LATITUDE and cmotion compact LCS system, as well as cmotion cvolution hand controller with cforce motor integration. We also have started on SuperSlot wireless audio development.

So... when are we taking actual orders? When are we shipping?

Short answer: We anticipate taking orders in late January. We expect to start field testing in January and even getting some prototypes to Early Adopters in late January and early February, shipping late February.

Long answer: What we are doing is very hard. The good news is that our engineering and manufacturing partner, TERADEK, has manufactured and shipped tens of thousands of units of transmitters and receivers and the hardest PCB - "The OMOD Engine" - is already DONE. We showed the first rev of this board working with Live Grade at IBC and we are currently spinning another rev of that board with more optimization and the new system architecture, which allows us to make MORE variations, faster and also allows us to support all DSMC2 battery modules in addition to our OMOD Battery Modules. So you can attach any DSMC2 battery module to back of any OMOD or any OMOD TX (wireless video transmitter) attached to an OMOD.

There are two other PCBs that are common to ALL OMDs - the "OMI" (aka OMOD Mezzanine IN) and "OMO" (aka OMOD Mezzanine OUT) - and we locked layout and trace on those boards last week. So, new boards will all be back before end of the year, but with Holiday schedules we are going to start hard-core testing right after New Year's, on January 4th. We just want to get through that week and know everything is working as expected before we start taking actual orders.

Prices and spec details will all be on www.OMOD.io - in a week or less.
 
Mark,

I guess we are seeing the end of it, but I have to ask !

About Livegrad, which licence will we have to buy ? is it the yearly subscription Livegrad Pro v3 or can we use free the Livegrad pro remote ?

What is the difference wetween the standard and + models ?
About OMOD Wireless TX, which brand are actually compatible ? Do we have to send in our Tx to be integrated in OMOD ?

You will see the full feature matrix when the OMOD.io site goes live. Soon.

No you don't send anything in. You have to buy a new OMOD TX - but it will work any with any RX you own from the respective brand/model. OMOD TX's will be available TERADEK BOLT 300, 600, 2000 and PARALINX Tomahawk. Pair the OMOD TX to your existing RX units. OMOD TX units will MSRP for $100 more than their "non OMOD" TX version.

If I have this right:
I already have a Teradek Bolt 600 TX/RX set, which means I can use the existing 600 RX with the OMOD TX variant to feed it.

So Mark, when ordering the OMOD, one would specify which Bolt version you were matching to (300, 600 or 2000) ???

Reason is that when I originally ordered the 600 set, I asked about pairing a 300RX for a close-in AC and using the 600RX's for more remote monitoring.
Was told that would not work - the Bolt 300, 600 and 2000 series RX's are specific to the TX model to pair.
However since then, Teradek has added a new RX to the Bolt series (The Sidekick).
If I remember correctly, these receivers should work universally (within 300' I believe) with any of the three TX models.

Was already planning on adding at least one Sidekick to my kit.

Getting psyched - as this all falls into place, this really expands and cleans up both the rig and workflow on set.

Not when ordering your OMOD. Only if, and when, you want to order an OMOD TX transmitter - then you have to select Bolt 300, 600, 2000 or Tomahawk variant.

Yup. Either a Bolt 300 or BOLT 600 OMOD TX will pair to a BOLT Sidekick.
 
Merry Christmas! Any news of the expected website on this special day...? Could be a great present for us :)

Merry Xmas right back at ya! Working on it :) You will need to be just a bit more patient - there are a thousand spinning plates on this adventure and I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I have not revealed yet. So, hold tight. And if it makes you feel any better - I did manage to lower the MSRP of several OMOD modules by almost $500 by not rushing to announce everything.

My fingers are crossed you will see some cool stuff working 1st week on January.
