Next NanoFlash device ideas ...
I'm starting this thread as 'food for thought' on where Convergent Design can go, or may hopefully go and/or should go with the next incarnation of their wonderful NanoFlash. I'd like to see: dual HD/SDI recording capabilities to SSD and/or CF in S-log or ProRes 4.4.4 in addition to existing 4.2.2 single HD/SDI, 2 XLR audio imputs, SD & HD recording capabilities maintained with attendant framing at 4.3, 16.9 and academy framing at 1.375:1,and should I say it ... 2.39:1 .... there's more I'm sure!

Yep,
they should have that lot done by morning tea time. Hmmm. What will they do for the rest of the day? Cheers Russ |

Going to dual-link (or 3G SDI, the same thing for the sake of this discussion) might be useful to a few at this point, as might 4:4:4. Changing this is out of the question with the current nano design, and would probably require a completely new device (as would using the ProRes codec from Apple, as compared to the MPEG2 codec from Sony that's currently used). What I'd like is a new "case" for my nano, with a higher resolution full color screen, which could also show the playback of recorded stuff, and "real" illuminated buttons instead of the current ones. :) All of these features would have bad side effects though; the nano would become larger and heavier and more expensive. I'm not sure that the tradeoff would appeal to many. But I really would like a better screen, particularly if I could review clips with it... Billy |

I say, abandon proprietary codecs and go open source with the codec and the container for the next nanoFlash. Do remember that the MPEG-LA expects fees to the manufacturers of such devices and going to a codec like VP8 from Google might solve some of those problems.

Nanoflash ...
The whole point of the discussion is to go over what is possible and what can be done in a new device that maintains a similar package as the present recorder.
Perhaps, it's possible for convergent design to rethink the XDR as providing dual link HD/SDI, 3G SDI, and going in the direction of S-Log and/or ProRes 4.4.4. The NanoFlash size is going to be determined by what's in the box for sure but as the HD/SDI 10 bit 4.2.2 recording option becomes standard there is no reason for convergent design not to go there and maintain profitability. Now, I do think the Cinedeck has brought the recording options to a new level and minus the monitor ... it's not a big leap to see that this is a direction that is not only possible in a small form factor but is the direction where portable recording devises are headed.

Dear Friends,
As always, we welcome your thoughts on improving the nanoFlash. I am currently in Mexico City and cannot comment on the suggestions at this time.

The NANO is a recorder, so will answer to answer the new trends on cameras.
IMHO, improvement on the recording (10b), and Double-link (for cameras with 444 out, and 3D) is what people will need soon. rafael |

G'day Dean,
you have to look at the post header to figure out the intent. He put in the post header "its own Lithium battery". followed by "similar to the firestore products is my main one, having not yet bought mine." Read as a whole, it makes sense. Cheers Russ |

I would just be happy to see the current device repackaged with the option to "sandwich" between say an Anton Bauer battery and the battery mount. Then you could have the Nano draw it's power from the connection and have a conveinent way to mount it as well. Of course the display and interface would have to become a little smaller...
Oh and Pro Res would be awesome as well... Last edited by John Cummings; January 16th, 2011 at 08:05 PM. Reason: add content |
