Paralinx Arrow

[Brian Freesh]

How many converter boxes would you have, don't you only need one? I've never used the Arrow, how is this different from using one with a Decimator 2?

[Alan Rencher]

When the arrow is docked it essentially becomes one unit with one power supply. The arrow stays firmly in the dock. It's not something that everyone needs, but it allows a native hd-sdi solution without the need to purchase a new model. Using a decimator with a separate power cable for each works fine; that's what I normally do. The price point for the crossbow will be under $300.

What about the HDMI issues with the receiver? I live in the HD SDI world, so I guess I'll still need an HDMI to SDI converter for that as well correct?

Ah, the difference is the subtraction of a power cable and a couple hundred dollars. Impressed with the price point! Will the crossbow ultimately have an HDSDI pass thru?

[Alan Rencher]

It's in talks right now about adding pass through. I've been telling Dan that is mandatory.

So you could have an Arrow plus with the crossbow on the camera, and a HDMI Receiver on a DP7pro for the DP/1AC and a tomahawk on a larger client monitor! Nice

I'm gonna paint it orange. Any talk on the price point of that bad boy? THAT would be nice!

[Alan Rencher]

No price point yet.

Crossbow, Tomahawk, Arrow. I'm sensing a theme.

All kidding aside, if the HDSDI receiver is in the offing, then this becomes a pretty flexible package of transmitters and receivers.

Now, the proof is in the products. I'd love to see them, out of beta and into market items. I like to put my hands on things, or at least see that they are in production before I buy them.

Anything that can put a client 1200ft away from set and keep them there sounds amazing ;)
