nanoFlash Progress Update
We should complete our tests of the pre-production nanoFlash units this week. So far all the tests are extremely positive, we have only the analog audio I/O tests to wrap-up.
Power consumption is lower than expected, now measuring 5.6W during record and 4.9W during playback. I am expecting a further 0.3W reduction in record power with some additional code development. The final production nanoFlash units now include battery voltage monitoring, RS-485 / RS-232 as well as analog audio I/O. We do expect to add pre-record buffer and possibly over/under-crank before we ship. Currently we are waiting for a few last parts to arrive to begin production. I will post another update in a week or so with the status. Best-

Hi there,
I am guessing there are a lot of excited NanoFlash owners-to-be keenly awaiting the first shipment of units! So, my question is - if I was to put in an order (I am based in Singapore so this would be through Image4D) - how long would I have to wait? Reason I ask is that I am considering buying one for a doco shoot in China - etd in 3rd or 4th wk of June, so timing is tight... Pls advise. Many thanks, Chris D Chris D TV |

Dear Chris,
If you order now, we expect to be able to deliver in July. But, parts availability can always derail our plans. To elaborate: We can check with the manufacturers today, and the parts may be in stock, in quantities way more than we need. Tomorrow, there may be a parts shortage.

What kind of control will there be via the RS-232?

We are still working on the RS-232 command set and likely will publish late this summer. We are now working on GPS support via RS-232 to allow the nanoFlash internal clock to be very accurately set to GPS time and to record longitude and latitude information in the metadata. Best-
