  • 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

Andrei Goaga said:
Ok, got it!

So for the most entry level system we might be looking at 2500 USD for the omod + 3500 USD for the Omod TX?

OMOD TX MR is $3299 MSRP - so, yeah - you are about right. You can save some loot if you don't already own 600 RX / ARROW-X RX units buy getting the SIDEKICK - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1188994-REG/teradek_10_0915_sidekick_sdi_wireless_video.html which is an RX unit that works in short range (300') and will pair with BOLT 300, 600 and 2000 RX units.

With the sidekick you will still be looking at around 5400 USD for the wireless video system.

So people that are looking for a more budget friendly solution I think will have to pass on the nice Omod-type integration with the body and go with a Paralinx ACE for almost 1/3rd the price. Or even an independent Bolt 300 TX-RX solution that is half the price.

Understood. If we can find a way to offer an OMOD TX solution in the ACE ballpark - we will - but antenna can't be on the PCB like the low cost solutions. It is easier to get the high end solutions up and running and then go down stream a bit - than the other way around :)

If that would be something possible in the future, that will be a huge driving force for the OMOD system. Thank you!
 
Also, this has been asked once but I couldn't find the answer: Will the older Bolt Pro RX work with any OMOD Tx variants?

Teradek has three modules in the "BOLT Pro" line up:

BOLT Pro 300 (short range) - no planned OMOD support - but we are trying to figure out a "budget" solution for OMOD TX.

BOLT Pro 600 (medium range) - works with OMOD TX MR (also pairs with PARALINX ARROW-X RX units)
BOLT Pro 2000 (long range) - works with OMOD TX LR (also pairs with PARALINX TOMAHAWK RX units)

Yes, this is the current line-up, I was refering to the old Bolt: http://www.holdan.co.uk/Teradek/Wireless+Links/Bolt+Pro

I am considering doing an analogue only version without the mechanical push to operate knobs - which is lower cost - and can be fit in smaller OMODs - but I want to see the reaction to our "slightly over the top" audio board first.

My take - and I could be wrong - is folks either care a TON about audio - or they don't care at all.

So, since DSMC2 camera have internal scratch mics - I'm starting the OMOD line with no OMOD audio (only internal scratch mics) - or "full tilt boogie" OMOD audio - now ... if folks bitch about the push to operate and size, etc. and price (bitching about price? could it happen??) ... I can scale back and make a solution in-between internal scratch audio and top of line internal digital/analog with high end pre-amps. But I wanna see how people react to our high end option first.

Just to add, there's a gazillion of us out there who for day to day work want/need the same basic functionality and audio quality you might find in an FS7 or C300; which is to say a couple of XLRs, a preamp and a headphone socket so we can use our wireless Lavs and shotgun mics. Add in HDMI/SDI/USB/TC input and I am completely set. I neither require nor can afford an all-singing all-dancing top of the line audiophile audio board, but pretty much every Red owner I know would buy an inexpensive model with decent XLRs and a decent preamp in a heartbeat. Mechanical knobs would be a bonus :)

This is exactly the OMOD XLR - $2499

But you also get the all-singing all-dancing top of the line audiophile audio board. Honestly, I would have to put in a lot of work to make something less expensive - and it it would not be much less than this price anyway. There are certain inherent costs to just make any module that interfaces with the camera and terminates with an interface for DSMC2 Battery Modules.

But sure, after all the initial OMODs are shipping - I can take a breath - and see how the community and market reacts to our initial offerings - and see if we missed a price point / features set that can be realistically achieved.
 
I want to order one asap lol
 
Hey Mark,

So I'm considering swapping from a S-W package to a S-W brain only since I don't need a few things from the package like the top handle and the 4.7" screen, coupled with the fact that it doesn't do XLR. Would OMOD XLR ship in time for S-W brain delivery (feb)? Also, do you have a link to anymore pictures of OMOD XLR module, would love to see different angles.

Although if I did go OMOD XLR, I'd need another Vmount module to stack behind it, wouldn't I? In the interest of keeping my camera package as lean as possible, I guess would then have to decide how important XLR straight into the camera vs. dual system is. Hmm...

OMOD XLR will not ship in Feb.

Rev 1 of the boards performed 100% to spec except for small issue with digital AES - rev 2 is in process and those boards are three weeks away.

We think we will nail it on rev 2 - so, realistically - shipping late March on all OMODs with the audio board. Assuming we don't need to go to a rev 3.

I have some renders .. but I'd rather show you the real deal.

yes you need to stack a v-mount behind it. I have one coming you will love :)
 
Mark,

I truly hope that you have designed your V-Lock mount to be as low as possible so that the tall V-Lock batteries don't stick out from the top... Really looking to make the Weapon package flat top and liking a lot what you are doing with the OMOD's would be great to have a complete integrated system with your Battery out as well without having to go to third party.

To be honest I thought your super swanky audio module was going to be bank-breaking. Mark that sounds fantastic. Ignore me :)
 
Thanks for the reply, Mark! Tell use more about this upcoming V-mount solution ;)
 
Mark, the OMOD XLR sounds like a direct hit on what I was hoping for and needed. Thank you!
 
excuse me for my confusion. does OMOD XLR = the Mini? $2500? or am I missing something, like is the "mini" i saw on the web a different item? Different price? oh and i see you are starting to talk about delivery dates. are ANY of these devices shipping around the expected delivery dates for the camera brains? please and thank you!

Ok and another noob question. So the audio sync feature on these.. is this working in the way a device like this works? http://tentaclesync.com/ if so does this feature come on the "mini"? Thanks again!
 
Hey Mark, Is there Cinetape support with any of the OMODs?
