Kinetta HD camera design and specifications
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Kinetta camera features a modular design where the magazine, camera body, and viewfinder with LCD screen can be configured independently.
- The system uses a built-in downconverter and connects via a single thin fiberoptic cable rather than multiple bulky cables.
- The camera is significantly more compact and lightweight compared to earlier HD systems, enabling use on equipment like Steadicam rigs.
- The storage system uses RAID hard drives with iPod-type drives inside the magazines.
- The standard 1080p HD magazine could record approximately 110 minutes of uncompressed video.
Depends on
- Exact recording duration and whether test footage was in full HD resolution were not confirmed in the discussion.
- Experience is limited to a single NAB demonstration on a Steadicam Flyer rig.
- Information about the complete final specifications was not yet available at the time of the discussion.
