Kyle suggested and my opinion is "VIGO" would be a nice homage to the great filmmaker. As matter of fact, there is a little episode in the Jean Vigo's life that helps to figure out that meaning. He sold his own camera to aid his wife to fight her illness and her serious disease. Well suggested Kyle!

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

my suggestion is The Linda

Wayne,

Excellent suggestions. If I understand you correctly:

Family:
Silicon

Genus:
Silicon HD
Silicon 2K
Silicon 4K

Species:
Silicon HD DVR
Silicon HD Mini
Silicon HD Micro

Yes, that is the way English (and other western cultures) tend to structure their information, from left to right, and even in cultures where it is not, structuring information along an sequence, is an easier way to structure information (for example, in ancient Latin and Greek, the information flow in sentences were structured by words and word endings and beginnings, but over time the structure changed into an easier, largely sequential flow, thought not as sophisticated).

Interesting case "Vigo", what would it mean to most people that are not into Vigo the filmmaker? In that case I would like that Japanese guy's name, that did the "Seven Samurai" (you can tell I have a bad memory, I can't even remember the other guy that did 2001 a Space Odyssey (ASO), and how can we forget the name of the guy that did Star Wars A Space/Soap Opera (ASO two ;).

About names, Apple was once sued over their use of Sagan for a computer model name in honor of Carl Sagan. Would be good to look over the legal precedence since then. It is stupid I know, it is like saying that a company can't use the term "Smith", because it is your family name, or your occupation, then again they didn't get us to design the IP system.

Have Wellness, God bless.

Hey Wayne,

This is one time I'll actually come out and agree with you directly!! :)

BTW, Silicon Mini-HD (if you decided to order it that way), sounds like either a cut-down version, not true 1920x1080, or a joke (Mini-Me, etc.).

So yes Wayne . . .

Silicon HD

Silicon 2K

Silicon 4K

that sounds much better . . . JMHO :)
