Andromeda for DVX-100 pre-orders now available...

[Juan P. Pertierra]

Hello,

Reel Stream is now taking pre-orders for the DVX-100 based Andromeda system at our new website: http://www.reel-stream.com

The Andromeda system allows recording of 4:4:4 (Full RGB) Uncompressed digital video from your Panasonic DVX-100P/AP/B. Bypassing the in-camera processing, the Andromeda system utilizes the full 12-bit color precision available inside the camera, and yields additional dynamic range, particularly on the highlights. The dynamic range gains have been measured to yield a total of approximately 9.5 stops latitude, which is about a 2.5 stop improvement over the standard DV output.

A feature seen only on the highest-end systems, Andromeda allows the user to completely define the RGB curves(LUTs) for recording the uncompressed data directly from the camera's Analog-to-Digital converters.

The Andromeda system also records all active pixels, including areas of the CCD's normally cut-off by the internal camera processing, giving the user access to more pixels and a wider 1.85:1 image when the anamorphic adapter is used. By making use of the sub-pixel shift inherent in the 3CCD imager, the Andromeda system is capable of targetting uncompressed output frame sizes up to 1540x984 in 24P mode without up-rezzing.

We are currently taking pre-orders for our current first production batch, for January shipping. There are two pre-order configurations available:

1.)Andromeda system installation on an existing DVX-100P/AP/B.
2.)Andromeda system pre-installed on a new Panasonic DVX-100B.

Hello Juan, :)

Yes i've heard about the Wafian, it seems to have similar functionalty to a computer with a HD video capture card. Although the pricetag is $15,000.

Cheers,
Juan
