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.
