Sanjay, Yes that is correct. The VF and the SDI outputs will be flipped and flopped. Chris.

You can electronically invert the VF and SDI signal both Vertically, Horizontally, and Vertical & Horizontal. There is no reason the eyepiece could not be used on the right side except for the mechanical shutter housing is rather large so mounting the eyepiece far enough away might require some custom items. Chris

The MDR3 has the polarity of the Arri 12V power port. It is reversed from the Bartech cable. Do not use your Bartech cables to power the MDR3 even though it looks the same and fits. Chris

That's the Terry we all know. There to help when time isn't on your side. Nice job. Chris

Massimo, My apologies for not having the correct info when we talked on the phone, I was driving. I charge the same amount as Jim for M-One motor cables, $145 instead of $150. Feel free to call either of us if you need one. Thanks Chris Konash

Pin 1 + Pin 2 - Pin 3 NC

As you both are aware there are several ways to integrate a start/stop cable into an Epic/Scarlet system. 1. Using a Red breakout cable you can buy the cable that goes from the MDR2 to a female BNC. 2. Without using the Red breakout you can have a cable made the looks like a regular MDR2 Camera cable that connects the MDR2 to the camera. 3. Or you can make a cable that plugs into the camera and has an intermediate small box with a BNC connection for TimeCode in and a through cable for the MDR2 run command. Terry West or I can make all of these options so it's a matter of what you need to do. I don't have them listed on my website yet but feel free to call if you need one.

Given the aforementioned circumstances Chris, I find this a little hard to believe. Can you show some sort of working proof or photos of this alleged Epic run/stop cable of yours. If it works, I'll buy one. But given that the geniuses at Preston and C-motion can't devise a solution, please understand my skepticism. And an open message to the guys at Red: This is ridiculous! WTF! Nick, Sorry for the late reply, I don't check up on the forum as much as I should. Just to be clear I do not advertize things that I can not deliver. If you would like proof please ask around on the forum or go to my website and have a chat with some of the clients I have made cables for, a client list is there. If you need anything feel free to contact me via phone or email. Thanks, Chris Konash www.eastcoastcables.com

I make cables for the preston to run the Epic if anyone needs one.

The Archos has been sold. Only a few items left at unbeatable prices. Thanks, Chris Konash

If you want the Archos it's yours. It comes with a spare battery and the standard video/audio cable. I have been looking everywhere and can't find the power supply for it. it's a standard DC input 5VDC that can be picked up at any local radio shack. If your still interested give me a call or send me an email. Thanks Chris Konash 201.522.5030 Chris.Konash@me.com

Thanks Andrew, I have a few people wanting the Lectrosonics. One has said he would take it and email me payment details tonight. If that doesn't pan out its on a first come first serve platter. I will contact you with the outcome after tonight. Thanks, Chris

If you need one I can make one and get it to you Saturday with FedEx. Chris

If you don't have time to wait, call me and I'll make you the cable you need or I can send you one of the connectors I have in stock. www.EastCoastCables.com

Thank you for your kind words Jeff. I remember from the beginning of your days on this show you wanted a solution and I am glad I could create this for you. Some specs on the system. It is a multi-mode system like the Sony. Multi-mode vs. Single-mode has to do with the speed & distance of data transmission, and how it travels down the fiber. The system transmits dual link 4:4:4 HD-SDI according to the SMPTE 492 standard. There is no return video because I didn't feel it was necessary. They system also does full bi-directional paint control of the cameras like the Sony system. Powering the camera wasn't a concern of mine because once the recorder is removed, powering the camera isn't a huge issue. So my system does not power the camera, and neither does the Sony system. One down side of the system Jeff is using compared to the Sony system is it will not do off speed recording down the fiber. The Sony system encodes the frame rate meta data and transmits it to the deck to be interpreted, I did not do this. On the rare occasion off speed recording is necessary Jeff must put some type of recorder on the camera whether it be an SRW1 or a Panavision SSR. One other difference is Jeff's system does not dock to the camera where a VTR would, I did not do this so the system could be used on multiple cameras and in both 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 conditions. This is why you see dual link SDI lines from the camera's interface box to the fiber transmitter. One downside to the Sony system is it is very expensive, around $20,000. The system Jeff is using was is owned by Panavision NY and has an undisclosed price but you can bet it's WAY less than the Sony system. Also a Steadicam fiber jumper on the Sony system are around $1000 each where on Jeff's system they are exactly $10, and I believe after months of shooting on Mercy Jeff still haven't broken one jumper. Eric, I would bet money on the fact that the jumpers Jeff is using are more flexible than the Sony or the Telecast ones you mentioned, maybe Jeff can comment. There are only three of these systems in existence, 2 are on Mercy and one is used for Steadicam shots on The Good Wife with Sandy Hays operating. Maybe he can share a story or two. The original prototype system I put on a feature film over the summer with Jim McConkey operating and I think he said he was happy with it. Thanks,

Start/Stop on the Panavised F35 is a 3 Pin Fischer, Arri RS connector. Same as a 235, 435, 535. However, there have been reports that when operating in 12Volts only mode for steadicam, the 24Volt port run/stop function is disabled.

Yes, depending on how the cameras bars are set they should be the normal 75%, 100% or SMPTE bars.

The Genesis and SSR output a log video signal which on your steadicam monitor will appear to have compressed highlights and low contrast. The adjustments to the SD output that can be made are aspect ratio, format, black level setup. A gamma corrected output is not available onboard of the Genesis or SSR. The GDP (Gamma Display Processor) is designed to be used with DP or Director monitors. It offers a color corrected HD output in real time. It is a stand alone box that does not down convert to SD and is only AC powerable. If you are having a pulsating black level I would definitely do some more investigation. I have not heard of any problems like the one you speak of with the SSR's. Give you're local Panavision office a call, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help out. If you still have any more questions feel free to give me a call at Panavision NY. Chris Konash 212.606.0773
