Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Dear Friends,
I am posting some photos of the Gemini 4:4:4. These will be helping in showing just how small we made this very powerful, full uncompressed recorder. The actual size is 5.4" x 4.5" x 1.1" or 138 mm x115 mm x 28 mm The unit comes with a custom fitted hard case. The interior foam is special sturdy, anti-static foam. This is a premium foam that should not degrade in normal use. The last photo shows a nanoFlash for comparison purposes. The Gemini 4:4:4 is just 110% the volume of the nanoFlash. Of course you may see this in person at NAB, and we will be recording and playing back, using the Gemini 4:4:4, in full uncompressed. Our Booth is C11126, near Sony in the Central Hall (near the rear). This link will help you find our booth. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/converge...nvitation.html

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Dear Dan,
[joking mode on] I don't think content like this is allowed on a public site like DVInfo; this is just porn, making some people (myself including) salivate... ;-) [joking mode off] Seriously though - congratulations, again! Piotr PS. What would be the Gemini price for trading-in my nanoFlash, considering I'm a veteran (should I say - even a pioneer) CD customer? Yeah, I know I've been a PITA :)

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Makes me wish our Canon XLH1 and XHG1 truly output 10bit instead the 2 "empty" bits in the HD-SDI stream.
Looks to be a ground breaking device. And the built in monitor lightens the load and the cable wrangling. |

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
I'm very excited about this product. It's looking like 4:4:4 is going to be the new 4:2:2 after this NAB.
From a sales standpoint, I haven't seen a camera selling like the Sony F3 since the Panasonic HVX200 - and that's saying something considering the price point difference. I would expect we'll sell a Gemini with the majority of F3's we deliver. It just makes sense if you're going to make the investment.

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Let us not forget the F3 with an 8 bit recorder is way more than most of us need to deliver.

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Looks super but I do hope the case interior comes in a more macho color!

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
In other words, do we have the Firmware Upgrade yet?
No, not yet. We have been attempting to obtain the Sony F3 Firmware Upgrade.

Quote:
The Pink Foam is Pink in color to indicate that it is "Anti-Static" foam. This is an industry standard color for most "Anti-Static" foam. Anti-Static foam helps ensure that the Gemini 4:4:4 is not harmed by serious static electricity that can build up and discharge during shipping.

Re: Gemini 4:4:4 Photos
Dear Timur,
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? We like small, powerful, and low power. The monitor is still 5" diagonal.
