Y2 Digital Cinema Camera

[Patrick Tresch]

Ok a bit more of "Nell" Y2... early CAD designs...

The bottom and the battery...

I can't say any more since I'm not authorized...

I can see, Evangelos, you are always in the best places. Would love to meet you once... if you come to Switzerland call me! 079/7061917 I would be pleased to have a chat and buy you a beer!

BTW the screw on the side to mount a shoulder tab is a great idea.

Hope to hear "electronic" news about this beautiful desing.

in most situations the matte box would hide the camera completely. the few instances i've seen the camera reflecting in a shot (in a tv or window or glass door) i was more disturbed by the reflection of the second camera assistant's E.T. or monster-truck t-shirt.

early moviecam SLs and compacts were almost white - but note taken - no white

With pleasure Patrick, If I will come I we have to call also Stephen W... if your journey ever send you to Athens, give me a call... +306932834153...

Yehh... I have that engineering instinct that shows me the way few years before things actually happen...

OK thread hijack sorry Imreli...

The only thing I didn't predict was the 11/9/2001 events... that time I was with a 500K€ investment to show tape less solutions for field production at IBC 2001 the exhibition open the gates 14/9/2001 while I was building my stand I was looking twin towers falling...

My company never recover... so yes as a business man and an engineer I have the eye...

I can't stay out of this... I'm always around it... thanks god that I hold few patents from that time...

Below are some photos from IBC 2001... the system in the Opel is a direct to disk recorder and an edit while shooting system... yes I was the pioneer of on set disk recording and editing along with the guys from Germany Directors friend... I'm the guy with the glasses... the photo that shows the hall 7... in the background is my booth and on the left is 5D, another victim of that time...

The system in the photos was prototype the last photo has the final product in production... there was a version with six cameras ISO recording... TSR swiss was almost ready to buy, Patrick...

Yes I didn't fall from the sky in this business... I all ready count 18 years...

Panaflex Millennium and Millennium XL are a very light grey (practically white).

 

[Rodrigo Lizana]

we still think there's a market for a robust S35 camera with an optical viewfinder priced between an epic and the new arri line.

Yes it is. I mean if you´re talking about the AE-V model from the Arri !. Hope to get details soon !!.

If I remember correctly, Mitchels are beige/white as well...

(uesd a couple on MoCo shoots due to their great registration)

Hi,

The white Mitchell's were all ex US Government Cameras.

reading through the mails and PMs we received i think people have wrong expectations.
we're a small design agency, not a huge company like arri. development of the Y4 will take at least another 18 months.
to see how small we are we uploaded our beta website at www.yolk.org
lots of projects still missing and the pre-load seems a bit buggy...and yeah probably a gazillion typos
so buy a scarlet or epic - we will too - and stop asking us if the Y4 will be capable to scramble eggs as well

 

[Irmeli R]

with 78.5% certainty we won't show the Y2 prototypes at the designmeile - we're very sorry but we've been working many night shifts for an Alstom exhibit and right now we're utterly busy with another project. the quad core boards are still delayed..grr

 

[Mazen Hashem]

love it

 

[Irmeli R]

love it

what? the 6 inch heels? :smilielol5:

 

[Irmeli R]

no Y2 camera prototypes but some delicious antipasti

 

[LEMSRKOOL]

I love the design. Do you have internal fans or are you using peltier cooling elements? Another ques. Is this camera prototype a teaching tool toward film or design students?
I have to say it reminds me of a robot i saw in a japanese anime - Robotech!

 

[Irmeli R]

it has a fan - completely sealed off from the electronics. peltier elements drain the battery way too fast.
no, not a design teaching tool.

 

[LEMSRKOOL]

Will this be a High Speed Camera?

 

[Irmeli R]

chuckle..because it is white? no - as it says on our website 30fps max. the sensor can do 60fps but the bottleneck here is the gigE bandwidth - like on the SI2K.

here's a renshape mock-up with the final dimensions:
