Arricam LT HD video tap and IDX transmitter

[Joseph Arena SOC]

I am Working on a show and I am flying an Arricam LT with the new HD video tap system .. I am also transmmitting HD with the IDX HD transmitter .

it is really weird combination , a lot of cables and it is really heavy if you think about a regular sd mode LT ,for some reason the video tap does not have an sd out so I am forced to fly the Down converter as well for my TB6 . Clairmont made a great bracket for me so I can mount the transmitter on top and under the camera for low mode . Also because of so many accessories cine tape,transmitter,downconverter, preston the camera is dragging a lot of power , thank god I got the new Diocics HC.

Every time we go studio mode we have to adjust the focus on the tap for a weird design concept.

Anybody in the same war mode ?

Joseph,

 

interesting to hear some feedback on the HD tap.

 

would you mind posting some pix showing the setup, especially that clairmont bracket interests me.

 

Thanks,

Jerry

I have an Arricam LT job coming up. There was a debate about sd or hd video taps. Is it worth asking for the sd tap?
