  4. Cheap SDI to HDMI converter

    in Video Assist and Video Accessories

    Posted

    Following up on Charles' comment on the Feelworld (Seetec) converters, we confirmed last year that they do work work converting 23.98/24 PsF for the Connex or Connex Mini wireless HD sets.

     

    But they are very nice rugged converters (we tested about every other framerate/resolution avialiable with Decimator sets). Features that you won't find on many other converters are the 1/4-20 mounting points and built in (and removable) Sony battery plates and AC adaptor.

  7. Connex mini: short review

    in Video Assist and Video Accessories

    Posted

    We now offer an SDI kit for the Connex Mini transmitter It uses the Blackmagic Micro SDI converter and has a D-tap cable that provides power to both the Connex Mini and the Blackmagic Micro. (contact us for Lemo power connector availability)

     

    The overall package is kept small and it gets the job done.

     

    The Blackmagic MIcro will not handle 23.98/24 PsF.

  9. Connex mini: short review

    Hi Twojay,

     

    Not now, but we are working on rod antenna prototype parts for the Connex.

     

    The cooling fan is on all the time. BTW, HDMI only.

     

    We made a lot of noise measurements last year while working on a low cost noise baffle for the Connex. The noise is fairly directional, and I seem to remember

    noise levels around 32-36 dBA at 2 feet. Using hand made sound absorbing baffle prototypes that allowed full airflow, we could only achieve a 2-3 dBA reduction.

    Decided the only way to get the noise level down to say 25 dBA at 2 feet would be sealed without free airflow and clever thermal management. Effort

    was abandoned because of cost.

     

    The Connex Mini doesn't have a fan on the transmitter and performs like systems costing a lot more.

  11. Amimon Connex mini with CMR accessories

    in Video Assist and Video Accessories

    Posted

    Camera Motion Research is announcing accessories for the Amimon Connex mini that provide mounting, TX antenna support, and batteries. The Connex mini is smaller, lighter, and uses less power than the original Connex. And the transmitter does not have a cooling fan. LOS range is 1600 ft.

     

    The Connex mini, like the original Connex does not transmit audio, but if your requirements are simple wireless HD up to 1080P(60), these are really cost effective and robust wireless sets.

     

    Have a look here http://www.camotionllc.com/connex-mini/, and if you're going to NAB stop by our booth C10548 to check out a Connex mini system.

    Charles, The mini is shipping, but not extra receivers yet, they are coming.

     

    We certainly have evaluated it, and I think it is a great product. As you noted it is much smaller, and it doesn't have a cooling fan on the transmitter.

     

    Our prototype equivalent to the original Connex with our (smaller) antenna mount and including a 5 hr. battery is very compact and weighs about 1/2 lb.

     

    The original Connex will have its place where the best range and robustness in noisy environments is worth paying a little more for.
