Ce que le fil a révélé

• Le système Red Rock Micro follow focus utilise un iPhone ou iPod Touch comme interface d'affichage montrant la position de focalisation sur une roue tournante, la profondeur de visualisation du champ et les données autofocus sonar, tandis que la fonction radio sans fil reste dans l'unité de contrôle elle-même.
• Le système stocke les réglages de la rampe de mise au point et les calibrations de la lentille et peut afficher la commande de l'iris via des curseurs d'écran pendant que la roue contrôle la mise au point.
• A complete wireless single-channel setup with motor receiver and measuring tool was estimated to cost between $3500 and $5000, while a hardwired controller alone was estimated at around $1000 and the measuring tool at $500.
• The system was not fully functional at NAB, with latency issues and the sonar autofocus feature not working reliably at the time of demonstration.
• The system is designed only for compatibility with analog motors, not digital motors.
• The wireless frequency range had not been finalized and no FCC clearance had been obtained at the time of the discussion.
• Multiple wireless receivers can be controlled from a single hand unit for multi-channel setups.

Dépend de

• Prices and specifications were estimates based on early conversations; final pricing was unclear and dependent on demand and production decisions.
• The sonar autofocus feature was not functioning properly during demonstrations.
• Radio frequency details were unconfirmed and FCC approval was still pending.
• The technology was in early development with multiple design revisions over several years before this NAB showing.
• Some participants expressed concerns about using an iPhone as a control interface in professional production due to potential interruptions from phone calls.
• The system felt less refined compared to established high-end follow focus manufacturers.
