We are in the process of rebuilding our website (which is long overdue). We would like to include still images of the nano/XDR mounted on your camera, or in your helicopter, airplane, race car, balloon, motorcycle, underwater rig, elephant, or whatever. We are looking for high-quality close-in shots, showing the recorder and wide angle shots, showing the application/location (desert, rain-forest, jungle, etc). A few lines about the application and possibly a description of how the XDR/nano played a role (image quality, low-power, small size, rugged operation) would be helpful.

We will be glad to include your name and company, if desired.

Please e-mail to Mike at convergent-design.com. You can also post low-rez versions of the images on this forum.

We will also have a page on the web site devoted to video clips from the XDR/nano; we'll ask for this footage in a few weeks.

Any help is much appreciated-

Mike, are you also collecting screen shots from parallel recordings? It would be great to have access to the test comparison images use during the development of the Nanflash/XDR. I know I'm a broken record, but the absence of these images is gating my purchase.

Hi Gints-
OK, we'll try to post as many comparison shots as reasonable. Here's another one of sparks from a grinding wheel shot with an EX1.

WoW!!

Such a HUGE step up in quality from every aspect.

Grainy look totally gone.
Blocking, color artifacts gone.

Just a beautiful shot improvement with the 4:2:2 100mbps.

HI Mike:
This is perhaps the clearest example of the common differences between 35 Mbps 4:2:0 and CD's Long GOP 100 Mbps 4:2:2 I have ever seen. These pictures don't lie !

Hi Mike:
Just so you know I responded to your PM to me and I'm awaiting your response.

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks, Mike. I've seen the two EX1 35/100 MBps examples you posted a couple of months ago, and they do make the case. Will you be making the source videos of these frame grabs available for download?

Hi Gints-
Good question, let me check if the original footage is still available.

Actually, the EX1 footage 35Mbs looks almost good. I would have expected worse.

Dear Friends,

Doug Jensen of Vortex Media has provided us with some great photos of his nanoFlash mounted on the Sony PDW-F800.

Please note that if these photos are used for any purpose, please credit Doug Jensen and www.VortexMedia.com (http://www.VortexMedia.com).

My goodness, that's a fine looking camera. Does it have the air-shocks that make it bounce up and down on the tripod?

Hi Friends:
Nice Nano & Camera shot. Perhaps this is the best picture showing the relative size of the Nano versus a real broadcast camera. Cool.
