I am ready for HD:
http://dandiaconu.com/gallery/ALL-CL...MGA0174?full=1

is HD ready for me?

Ok so I should have the 64bit card TODAY! meanwhile we are finishing the DirectDraw image preview - had it running for 2hours with no memory leaks or crashes! I will be getting the microATX board CPU and dual highspeed disks back next week along with an updated CineLink.. we still have the 3300rgb so I should have no problems running lots of tests next week with the new card and the hardware our programmer is sending back to me. Our to-do list still includes a high-quality bayer filter and Quicktime output along with some other basics like RGB balence zebra display and some UI updates ...at this point we have full control of the camera, A good preview that does not tax the CPU as much and RAW image save

once I start shooting I will post LOts and LoTS of images

Have 64bit card in my hand! this has been a LONG wait!

They tell me I have the worlds first production CL2 64bit Epix card...whooohoooo guess if I hang onto it for a few years it's value will go up?? LOL

Can't wait for some test footage/images.

praise the lord!!

and pass the potatoes.

I'm glad it finally got released. Congrats on the new arrival.

Obin,

I don't want to re-read through 159 pages. I might have missed this are you still using the old Russian 16mm camera body?

GREAT, GREAT,GREAT!!!
This shows how much someone with good decision making can influence the whole thing!
WELL DONE OBIN OLSON!!!!!!!
(you are the king of the new High Definition wave)

you guys are too cool ;)

no 16mm camera body..we will have our own design....

No ideas yet on an estimate final pricing?

Not yet! wait and see how things progress next week with tests

Could I use Arri 35mm lens on your camera? Or will you have an option so that you could mount different lens on the camera?

should have the mother board, Dothan 2ghz cpu and high-speed disks back from our programmer in a day or 2..then we can start shooting and testing!!!

I am taking a 3 day vacation at Sugar Mountain in NC for some snow boarding...it's hard to type right now after a full day of fun and total exhaustion on the mountain..conditions are great with a 35inch bed of snow that came down over the weekend..:)

I will be back Feb 3rd, my brother will be around the office till then working with the camera/system if it gets in from ups before I am back..

IS ANYONE ON THE LIST READY TO STOP THE THUMB SUCKING AND GET SOME REAL TESTS GOING!!!!!!!!

LOL

Saw your system and thought you might take it in the field, so you may require a battery source.
Lithium-ion batteries are what you should be looking at.
One supplier I found was Ocean-Server at: http://www.ocean-server.com/index.html

They build a range of systems from 95 to 6000 watts using their Lithium-Ion batteries.
The Li-ion batteries are 95 watt/hr batteries costing $170 and weighing 1.4lbs /.6kg.
Each 4 or 8 batteries requires a battery controller, i.e. BB-04; MP-04 or MP-08
The battery controllers feed a DC/DC converter (atx voltage output), i.e. DC-023

The Ocean-Server solutions of interest are:
Solution 1:
4 batteries / BB-04 / DC-023 which gives 177W /12A output @ 2 hours.
Weight: 7 lbs/3kg
Cost = $1K

Solution 2:
6 battery / MP-04 /DC-023 x2 which gives 314W /16A output @ 2hours
Weight : 12lbs/5kg.
Cost = $2K

See link for pretty pictures: http://www.ocean-server.com/download/controller19.pdf

This link, http://www.ocean-server.com/download.html (FAQ's) discusses system drain of various mini-itx, atx systems. It also looks at power consumption of SFF boards.
1) PC104 VIA C3 design, 512MB memory, 2.5" disk drive, running Windows-Pro.
Total power consumption is 14Watts (idle.)
2) VIA EIPA M10000 (1GHz), 2.5" disk, 512MB memory,
Total power consumption is 35Watts with LCD monitor (idle).
3) Intel 845 @ 1.8Ghz motherboard is 53 Watts

There are other cheaper systems but Ocean-Server fits the bill except for external housing.
You could build your own using Li-ion F cells (18650) and your own protection, monitoring, load balance circuitry but it’ll require a lot of playing around.

Thank you,
David Farland
