Any Tricked Out DVX 100A's?

Jim Sofranko · April 10th, 2005, 08:03 PM

Oh that thingee...Yeah some of those are nice. But some are so cumbersome it kind of restricts the ability to quickly move the camera around anywhere other than your shoulder. I'll look into it though.

I'm not certain I'll get used to the praying mantis pose for handheld workwith the DVX so maybe some small type of pod will work out for me. The word Pod alway reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers....

Yeah, I love that Vocas. I just saw one came up for sale in the classifieds here for a very nice price but I don't know anything about the seller.

My DVX is tricked out to do HD.

That I'd like to see!

...did I mention that it is uncompressed, too?

Hi Jeremy,

The pics from the site would come up larger and bluish so I couldn't get a feel for the images. But I have heard a buzz about this mod a little from Geoff Boyle on the CML. I also thought I heard about this awhile ago on the Area 51 DVInfo forum.

I think its a fantastic idea. Uncompressed HD from a DVX? What's not to like. I'm sure you'll get a good and curious crowd at NAB. Can't wait to hear more.

I'm curious how the lens quality of the DVX holds up with this kind of resolution? What HD deck does it record on? etc... So many questions.

When will this mod be available for use by plain old folks?

Thanks.

Jim

I will make sure to have some better examples up for
viewing in the next week. Feel free to send in any specific
questions you may have.

The beta testing applications will be publically available
on April 18th. I am expecting an 8-10 week timeline for beta
testing, but after that we will be taking orders for
"plain old folks".

Jeremy.

Will the output of the camera be switchable from the basic SD DV to the uncompressed HD so the camera will be usable in either formats?
