Name the Camera!
We have heard several requests to give the camera a name rather than just the SI-1920HDVR. Please post your suggestions...

GOLEM bגולם
The Golem is a very popular figure in Jewish folklore and legend. The Golem is created by use of mystical powers that are to be found in the Kabbalistic lore. |
I like SICam

Just 'Silicon' - The Real Thing.

New idea...
ModCam - Modular Camera And if you thinking ahead and want to catch attention of Lucas and Cameron just add 3D and get ModCam3D :) |

I like the idea of focusing on the value points to help conjure up the name. Digital Cinema Flexible Color Rendition Wide Exposure latitude Dynamic Range Film look Digital Negative Innovative Workflow Direct-to-Disk Recording Networking/IT connectivity |

BTW....the 3D expert(s) (no name dropping) are salivating over our 42mm IOD (Code name: MicroEve) camera model. It should be the worlds smallest 2/3" D-Cinema 3D camera for 3D use (another stake in the ground for SI). All I can say is it will be compatible with our SI-1920HDVR and Cineform RAW workflow. Can anyone tell me why the 3-D community would be so excited about our little camera? |

All about Eve
Hi Ari
In one of your emails to me, you wrote: "I appreciate you taking the time to visit with us and hear about the birth of Eve, our new SI-1920HDVR digital cinema camera." I understand now that it was just a product codename, but I've subsequently gone to print with a 1500 word article entitled "All about Eve". So could I suggest… Eve. That's a great name. Original. Feminine. Yet defiant. Prepared to take the odd risk with the old diet. The Eve camera. Eve. Eve camera. Keep saying it. Eve camera. Eve. Doesn't it sound good? Eve. All the best St(eve) Parker Editor, Showreel magazine |
I second the naming of the camera after a female name
back in film school, we used to name the camera's, the newest was named "ingrid" after ingrid bergman... |

How about, the "EVE-RE1". A camera for 'everyone' -gb- |
how about 'revolution'? nintendo won't be needing that name anymore...

All About Eve
Steve,
lol! We have been using the EVE name internally for almost 2-years! 1.) The EVE was created to be defiant with the pre-creation models called Origin and Genesis. The Eve posses human qualities and beauty. It is the first of its kind and from which all future forms will spring. 2.) The Eve was named after my favorite and only daughter; EVE. The question is are you going to shoot your next film with an EVE? Ari |
Origin and Genesis sound cool. Eve doesn't. A camera shouldn't sound like a females name. It should sound like the name of a transformer robot or something cybertech and cool. Think cyberpunk, think pulse rifle, think T1000.
Nothing against the name Eve in general. My sons name is Gabriel but I wouldn't name a camera that. If I started telling people on location the name of the camera was called "Eve" I would feel stupid. Just like if I used an Apple "Lisa". Another horrible name for a high tech electronic product that failed. |
On this roll how about EvImage. I was going to do it as Evimage, but that seemed a bit more quirky
Eve Evolution Image |
Yes, I'd eat one of Eve's apple pies
Yes, my last posting was far too long, but I still like Eve.
|
I like the name Eve... or the non-red... that's ready for the market... sorry just my warped since of humor...
Just got to think of a postive way to spend it... I have a feel ideas but then were not suppose to talk about some subjects... the p & r words... so don't want to get into trouble... just kidding... |
"VISION" (lengthening my message, to post.)

Okay, a little obvious but fitting: "Synergy", "SynerCam" or "SI-NRG" syn·er·gy The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Cooperative interaction among groups, especially among the acquired subsidiaries or merged parts of a corporation, that creates an enhanced combined effect. There's many things Ari says the camera is, many elements that come together to produce a greater whole. Yeah, it's kind of corny but...maybe??? |
"MULTICA" (signifying it's multi- options.)
- well, you can't have Multicam, and Fiat have got a Multipla... Robin |
Evolving technology
How about the Darwin?
Might not go down so well with the technology for worship crowd. But what about something for us evolutionists! Best Denise |

Next up will be the logo competition...lol |
How about, HAL1080 or Silicon-beyond definition.

synergy...si nrg....
sounds like one of those energy drinks that are poping up everywhere. |

If it was half the price I would name it "Pink" just to have a dig at some other company. Realistically, be careful, as the choice of name could double sales. "Envision", is taken I think, but "CineTech Ultrasens" is nice etc. |

Lectronic Artistic Imaging Device You got it... PLAID! |
Things like 'Genesis' are plain silly, what'll they call the next model, 'Exodus'?
My vote is for SI5, as in SciFive, at least then they can call the next one SI6, although the Kiwis might have an issue with that :) |

But they might not be able to see it against the coloured back ground, unless you are trying to say the camera will be available in many configurable forms.

The Eve camera. Eve. Eve camera. Keep saying it. Eve camera. Eve. Doesn't it sound good? EVE - The Evolution has just begun! =========================== E Cinema V ariable frame rate E ncode to disk Camera E volutionary V ideo-to-disk E Cinema Camera We can keep "Chameleon" for the next model ! Any thoughts from the peanut gallery? |
My opinion...
If you have to give the camera a name, try to pick something that is not silly or embarrassing to say to a client. FX1...HVX...H1...XL2...those sound good. Name it 'Chameleon' or 'Eve' ...I'm turning RED. |

How do you like HDVR or D3 (D-cinema Direct to Disk)? (If you like colors...go with BLUE ;-) ! |
From the very back row of the peanut gallery:
I've been reading, watching video posted in this forum, etc. I like your name, your vision and enthusiasm, and it looks like this whole deal perhaps started with you. (?) What about something like Presler D3. A few people I know from the film world have complained about all those letters and numbers on digital cameras. They remember names. I'm sure it's been said: Given your first name and the flexibility of this camera, it's a shame Ar(r)iflex is taken! :) |
Who doesn't think the "Thomson Viper FilmStream Camera" is impressive just from the name, without even seeing the specs?
Shouldn’t a name stand out and tell people that your camera is more impressive than the competition? Vanguard - "The foremost or leading position in a trend or movement", "Those occupying a foremost position": "The entire movie was shot with Silicon Imaging's Vanguard 1080P Wavelet Camera!" Peerless - "Being such as to have no match; incomparable", "eminent beyond or above comparison" "Your Canon XL-H1 sucks compared to the Peerless." Boss - "First-rate; topnotch." :-) "I really don't think that we can match the footage from your Sony Z1U to the stuff I shot with my new BOSS 1080P!" Pioneer - "One who ventures into unknown or unclaimed territory to settle.", "One who opens up new areas of thought, research, or development" "Shannon Rawls just sold his XL-H1 to upgrade to the Pioneer! How come he always gets these cameras first?" Sovereign - "One that exercises supreme, permanent authority" "Is it true that George Lucas is now using the Sovereign Wavelet-Cam for Star Wars XII?" Monarch - "A sole and absolute ruler" "Did you hear? The new Monarch Wavelet Camera from Silicon Imaging is being used on the set of 24!" Of course, you could always just call it the SI-1080P... "Batman Returns Again is reportedly being shot with the new SI-1080P!" Truth be told, my blood sugar is low and I need to eat before I type something ridiculous (uh oh)... ;-) |
I think that this deserves some serious thought. Here are two ideas : UniCam-HD1 (referring to the one-chip design), Apex-HD1 (meaning the top point, or indirectly, the best of the group)
|
Whatever the name turns out to be, I think it should have the word cinema or something reflecting that. The name should really give an indication of what the machine is for.
Digital Cinema 1920 Digi-Cin 1920 Cine-Go 1920 Cinema Now 1920 Something like that. Just an opinion. |
