Just my speculation. This Ingest Box not fpga based.
Core is P4-M-552. It is correct, David? |
David,
Since your testing the Canon... how long till we have a drive ready for that camera... hopefully around release time... Thanks, Gary |

Yes to 24p and yes 60p.

Good to hear David. I doubt it will be cheap enough for me, but I look forward to an cheap attachable version one day for cheap HD cameras.

Wayne, what you think about "cheap attachable version" CFHD DVR 720p based on ETX-IM333 computer-on-module.

It is absolutely true that you can capture HDSDI feed into a PC for a similar effect, yet there are a lot of advantages for the Wafian recorder will have over self configured setups. It is a lot smaller than you average workstation, allowing for more imaginative applications; one of our customers is planning to place the unit in the trunk/boot of a car (for in car shoots) and control the unit wirelessly. The unit is a lot quieter than your average workstation as the CineForm compression can always store full res. HD to a single drive, large RAIDs are not needed; there are very few compressors that are both real-time and produce a small enough small enough output at the high quality we target, and be quiet enough to be on the set. Currently the only competitor in the same price range will be Prospect HD work stations, and we have customers currently and in the past, directly capturing to their Prospect systems. The Wafian makes that workflow easier, and much cheaper than a D5 or SR deck. Hopefully with the success of this product will allow units to get small and battery driven, and eventually totally portable for a wider range of shooting conditions.

However, you're comparing: 1920x1080 and 1280x720 10-bit 4:2:2 to 1280x1080 and 960x720 8-bit 4:2:2 (or 2.67:1.33:1.33 and 3:1.5:1.5 compared ot the native resolution). It's pretty easy to guess which will look better. -Steve |

As far as competition is concerned, what about computer-based HD-SDI solutions using Avid, Apple or Canopus products? Even uncompressed HD capture isn't all that expensive these days, considering you can buy two terabytes of storage with a good SATA RAID card for under $1500. Once we remove portability from the discussion, there are a lot of options which could be considered. |

We must concentrate on portability. CFHD highly optimised for pentium M and as David Newman have said: real time encoding 720p24 possible with laptop P4M760 based. Only need component or hd-sdi adapter/convertor for laptop like this PCMCIA: http://www.imperx.com/frame_grabbers...framelink.html and capture software alike DV Rack. |
