Premium Members Charles Papert Posted June 11, 2011 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Normally there's nothing wrong with that pose when it's performed by two consenting adults. This being Ron, most likely she was neither. And just as likely, not even a she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plushies are not to be feared or loathed, but respected, admired, and transmitted long distances uncompressed and with no delay. I had an equation for this but don't have the time to enter it here.

Premium Members Mike McGowan SOC Posted June 12, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Was looking at the 3 transmitters on line and I got the impression that the Box Meridian also serves as a down converter? Also didn't see a price on their website, anybody know how much it costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking abut the meridian price, it is almost $15k: http://www.suomilammi.fi/pdf2/Boxxhinnasto.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted May 16, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 did this ever take off? id love to see the results. Sadly, the comparison footage might never be seen for legal reasons...it is tied up in litigation. Charles and I had no idea that Jumbos Clownroom had a bad falling out with Pro years ago about it's decision to stay with a 1.5" post, many other manufacturers went with a more stripper friendly 2" post. So once the Pro sled entered the business establishment located at 5153 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027 the restraining order that had been in place since the introduction of the XCS carbon fiber post was compromised, sinking this innocent transmitter comparison into the quagmire of legal bafoonery. Oh shiznit. It was a beautiful test showing the strengths and weaknesses of the two primary transmitters found on sets today. Charles and I had designed a fabulous shot showing a simultaneous test of the Boxx and the latest version of the Camwave. Being huge fans of 3D (and therefore Pedro) we built a 3Ality Technica 3D rig on a Pro sled with a Boxx transmitting one camera and the Camewave transmitting the other. Pure evil genius. The video village was set up in the dining area of Sapp thai food, which is a half block west of the shot's destination (the afore mentioned palace of ill-repute, Jumbos Clownroom). We had two unbiased celebrity observers (Jaleel White, and Clint Howard) watching two monitors which were not labeled with the transmitter it was receiving...though they quickly figured out which was which when one of the screens went blue as soon as the camera panned. The shot started in Sapp's kitchen. The stainless appliances would prove to be a nice first obstacle for the transmitters to overcome...and the grease on the floor would be a good second test of the operator (the initial test was if he could physically lift the over-weight silly 3D camera/sled combo of 90 lbs). With quivering legs the shot preceded Peter Dinklage (we spared no expense for this test) riding an alpine ibex out of the kitchen, through the restaurant and east on the Blvd. We wanted to use a donkey for obvious reasons but to attract as little attention as possible on the street we went with the goat. Things were actually going quite well until the camera entered Jumbos...legally I cannot give any more details about what happened, what was destroyed, who wore a corset, or who slipped on a baby oil soaked one dollar bill and tore an acl. All the info should be available in the summer of 2013 if Pro wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
