I just popped back in here because I found the announcement and wanted to see if anyone else had noticed it yet. VERY exciting! It answers a question I asked myself recently, which was, "with the limitations of HDV and DVCPRO-HD, why doesn't someone develop a camera that records directly to the CineForm codec?"
Now we know what you've been up to this past while. Great work, David. Looking forward to hearing/seeing more from this.

David,
There are some other threads that let the cat out of the bag so to speak. However, since you have direct involvement with the project, I will consider you a 'reliable' source and have placed your thread in the Industry News forum. regards, -gb- |

"The pricing for a camera head system, which includes the SI-1920HD-GE camera head, a copy of Prospect HD Edit, Premiere Pro 2.0, a Arri-base-plate adapter, and two Fujinon c-mount lenses will retail for $12,500." - (http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/faq.html).
Wow, $12,500... wow, 1080p, 1920x1080 sensor and 10bit recording... wow. I don't know what to say, but i'm loving this! Just one question, are people noticing the rather grainy videos from this? Looks like +9db on my FX1??? (I was looking at clip#3)

Nope, not a joke. Notice how I quoted that from the page on their site I referenced... http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/faq.html have a look for your self, it's very near the bottom.
$12,500 I'm thinking about changing from filming my feature film - www.inasinglemoment.com - with an FX1 to this, just a shame that Sony is helping with sponsorship of my film, oh well, next time :-)

Welcome David,
Well, I would be disappointed if you didn't come over and tell us first, considering the whole thing was kicked off by interests in our Digital Cinema project threads. Good to see. Thanks Wayne. |

Clarification
Quote:
I can't afford a complete cinema package at this time. Can I purchase the remote SI-1920HD-GE camera head and software and use my own PC hardware for recording? Yes. The pricing for a camera head system, which includes the SI-1920HD-GE camera head, a copy of Prospect HD Edit, Premiere Pro 2.0, a Arri-base-plate adapter, and two Fujinon c-mount lenses will retail for $12,500. Please contact us for certified systems for recording. You need to supply a computer, display, etc. Regards, Steve

Although I'm more looking forward to RED, this camera is very well priced and could be a very good contender too!
