I take it that you used a dual core 1.6 ghz atom cpu?
|
No, I think David already commented that Atoms are still below the processing power needed for Cineform processing.
Mine is Intel 2.6Ghz |
I'm am interested in trying the new DDR3 Dual Core Atoms (e.g N455) More memory bandwidth with a better dual core implementation might do the trick.
|
Alex did you use a mobo cpu or the full beans desktop cpu?
|
So, is the sub-$2K CineForm recorder officially dead? CineDeck seems nice, but it's more than four time the price.
|
Never off the table. Remember we are a software company, we will happily license the technology to any company capable of building it, when we proposed it, we where working with a harware partner but they didn't survive the market down-turn. We have priced out the build cost, two years ago to make sub-$2K partical, still good today. Just need another partner. New partners like CineDeck and 1Beyond use our software encoder, to get to the size and price point we want will require CineForm based hardware encoder (unless Intel Atom processors get a tad faster.)

Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
So any news on this front at all David? I cant believe a company like Atmos Enter The Ninja can bring their ProRes HDMI recorder to market at such a low price yet there remains nothing like it with the amazing cross platform CineForm codec??
Surely similar technology that drives this device would be able to be used with a CineForm codec? Or is it simply that the licensing costs of CineForm software would mean no recorder would ever get close to a price point like the Ninja? As far as I can tell transcoding is going the way of the dodo - everywhere you look these days its all about direct to edit. It would be a real shame if CineForm aren't paying attention to this industry trend. |
Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
Our licensing is not expensive, we are looking to put the CineForm codec everywhere. Come see us at NAB, while we are not announcing a hardware recorder, there are cool things happening.

First Mini-Itx Board with 1GB of RAM for video and Nvidia chip
For PC users who use Adobe CS 5 and above here is a preview to a new Zotac board which should be announced next week at Computex:
Zotac's Z68 mini-ITX boards listed for sale in Japan It is a Z68 based board. With the GeForce GT430 and 1GB of supposedly dedicated video RAM the one expansion port should be able to host an Black Magic Intensity Pro. Couple that with Cineform software and and camera that outputs HDMI and it could be a truly great solution. |
Google translation of Zotac board on Japanese website
Here is the translation of the akiba website for the Zotac Board:
Z68ITX-WiFi is a relatively orthodox model of the system with a DisplayPort output and 2 HDMI outputs, more wired / wireless LAN, USB 3.0, mSATA also includes configuration. As far as notice that the photo shops, PCI Express x16 slots and expansion slots are DDR3 DIMM slots seem to be equipped with × 2. Cooling mechanism is a combination of heat pipe Fanresutaipu, I / O unit that is attached to the heat sink panel. On the other hand, is a unique design, Z68 GT430 ITX-WiFi. This product, GeForce GT 430 1GB equipped with additional video memory, four standard screen output (DVI × 2 + HDMI + DisplayPort) that you can. Wired / wireless LAN, USB 3.0, mSATA equipped with such a common but Z68ITX-WiFi, and PCI Express x1 slots and expansion slots are DDR3 SO-DIMM slots seems to be 2 ×. Cooler with fan cooling. The Z68 Mini-ITX motherboard, considering the functional aspects, such as "strongest spec" will say the configuration, and also very unique products based on GeForce GT 430. Performance features, as well as a small PC screen output if you want another example, the product is likely to miss. |

VIA offers $89 processor and motherboard combo for custom HTPCs -- Engadget I downloaded the manual which states using 1066MHz DDR3 memory ,the FSB operates at 533MHz with a single channel. I couldn't find out the power requirements for the board. |
Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
Seem it has the same speeds as the dual core atom CPU I mentioned in the quoted text.

Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
Just wondering has the Gopro acquisition of cineform provided the necessary hardware partner for a Gopro Cineform HDMI recorder to be made?
|
Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
Now in a bigger company, I also can't really discuss the possibilty of future products.
|
Re: CineForm HDMI Recorder Concept Posted
Of course. l look forward to seeing what you guys might come up with.

AnandTech - Inside Intel's Next Unit of Computing (DC3217BY) It uses 1.8GHz CPU with DDR3 memory. The DC3217BY version has a thunderbolt port. I wonder anymore if it is worth the hassle of a standalone recorder which requires tethering as opposed to transcoding to the Cineform codec after capture. Anyone care to comment? |
