Issue here is that it is not cheap (around $400), and must be around $40-50

SDI cost slightly more ($425)

From the press release.

The dimensions of the Ninja Star are slender at only 3.5″ wide, 2.3″ tall and 0.8″ deep and it weighs a fraction of a normal recorder at just 100grams (3.5 oz). The Ninja Star can record in both HD and Apple ProRes to capture pristine, 422 10-bit images straight from any camera sensor directly to inexpensive first generation CFast media with up to 3hrs Apple ProRes for $250. It also features Timecode and Start/Stop Trigger along with Audio Line-in.

I am less interested in 4k 8bit 420 in H264 than in 10bit 422 in a codec that keeps more shadow information. I made my mind when I saw this video a while ago.

There's a thread regarding the type of card it uses: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/10110/cfast-storage/p1

Other manufacturers already started making quad code tablets.

They are based on Freescale i.MX6Quad, containing 4-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, L2 1Мб cache, and 4-core Vivante GC2000 GPU.

Tablets using this LSI:

• Sanei N10 quad core (aka Ampe A10 quad core or Hiapad F10 quad core )
• Chuwi V90

Here is Ampre A10 (10" tablet with 1280x800 screen):

• connects to any USB 3.0 port
• support two HDMI 2.0 outputs
• support of 60Hz 4K on each output
• full support of HDCP 2.2

"...As Apple released the third generation iPad we saw two different reports suggesting that this new device had very accurate color – even describing it as being close to a professional broadcast monitor. That claim seemed like something we should check out so we loaded up an iPad 3 with normal test images and borrowed a Photo Research PR-650 SpectraScan Colorimeter to test it. Testing a $500 consumer device that has only a brightness control with a $12,000 Colorimeter – Hey why not?" Rest of article is here: http://www.fxphd.com/blog/just-how-good-is-the-ipads-color/

Also I've attached some color gamut comparisons from this article: http://www.negativespaces.com/blog/2012/3/27/new-ipads-color-gamut.html

I know there is an ipad 3 thread, Vitaliy, so feel free to close this if you think it fits there. But I think it's maybe worth talking about and having people share their experiences of using the ipad 3 as a color reference device both on set and during color correction. So what do you think people?

It's true that we can't really use it as a "grading monitor" in the sense of connecting it to Davinci, BUT it provides a way to check any color grading you do on something that is basically as reliable as a broadcast monitor: you'll just have to take the extra steps of exporting a file (like h.264) for viewing on the iPad. Sure it's not perfect, but otherwise you'll have to spend over $2.5K to get a "professional" monitor.

The "measured" is the iPad 3.

That being said my plan is to build a X99 system with an 8 core processor, 64 gigs of ram and probably the Nvidia Titan with 12gb of ram for DaVinci Resolve. My most current system is a 6 core 3.33ghz Mac Pro with 32gigs of ram, and a GTX980 unfortunately the Mac Pro chokes on 4K files with DaVinci Resolve. First question... How would I go about exporting a ProRes file from Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve I vaguely remember somebody saying that you can't. Is there some type of application or plugin that I can buy? Also in terms of playing the video files what video player would you guys recommend. Do you guys have any recommendations for virus scanners? I also need a program to backup all of my hard drives and SSD's so I would appreciate any suggestions.

This system will be used for Photography and Videography no video games. So any suggestions on motherboards, processors, sound cards, memory etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Needless to say I put in the order and I got the monitor within a week. I was absolutely happy with the purchase. It's so much more than I expected, and my friend who has a Flanders is asking where to buy this monitor.

The only downside is that I need to get a custom box to mount it to my C-Stand, however I emailed OSEEDirect and they said they're going to be offering one soon - that they're developing - that will mount to C-Stands, come with a Hoodman, and a pelican style case. Needless to say I'm one happy customer and was also very excited to hear they're offering the same monitor in 10" and 23" later in the year. I can see myself buying the 10" (They estimated the price to be under $500!!!)

I wanted to share my experience and hopefully help this small company gain some traction. They have gained a lifetime customer with me.

1. It must be NVidia card, due to CUDA requirement by Adobe and DaVinci (and some plugins).
2. Something relatively cheap, and not big and noisy.
3. Maximum connections.
4. Good memory size, important for DaVinci.

My idea is GT640 based cards.
Not very pricey. Do not consume big power. Usable in games, and some firms make versions with 10cm fans. Worst thing is that normal output config is 2xDVI, HDMI and VGA, I prefer to have DP instead of VGA.

But if you are using famous cheap 27" monitors it must be ok.

GT 640, 384 CUDA cores

• http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-2048MB-Graphics-02G-P4-2645-KR/dp/B0086UXQIE/
• http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-DDR3-Video-Card/dp/B008AXRODA/

Other suggestion is powerful GTX 670, 1344 CUDA cores cards, they also have more memory options, can be good for future.

• 4GB, about $480 - http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-04G-P4-2673-KR/dp/B007Z3HZLM/
• 2GB, about $400 - http://www.amazon.com/MSI-N670GTX-PM2D2GD5-OC-GeForce-256-bit/dp/B007Z574RU/

GTX 680, 1536 CUDA cores

• about $510 : http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-DisplayPort-Graphics-02G-P4-2682-KR/dp/B007KC1R9E/

Slightly cheaper option, has almost the same performance as GTX 670 cards (I mean only video editing related tasks)

EVGA GeForce GTX570 HD 2560MB, about $320

1 Nvidia 980 Reference that is BNIB. The box isn't sealed but the card is. - $480

And 1 ZOTAC EXTREME AMP! Edition of the 970, which has had limited use in my computer and in fantastic condition. This is the first gen edition with the backplate and the 3 panel things, so they are rare to find for so cheap. It runs almost as fast as the 980's for half the price - $320.

Free shipping if you buy more than 1 item. Conus and Paypal only. Local pickup in Los Angeles will not have any paypal fees or whatever and I'm available all weekend.

I was planning on upgrading my CPU and Mobo around the Interl 4790k chip. That'd cost me about $500, and it'd set me up well with hi-def video. (Especially with multicamera editing.) And Tom's Hardware reports the 4790k as the best for PP in the Cloud. But my gut feeling is that, as we start to work with 4K, the 4790k may not be enough.

I've looked at the stats on Xeon chips, and the speed increase just doesn't seem to justify the added costs (esp. when adding in the costs of the mobo and new memory).

So I'd like to know if there's a configuration that'd really future-proof me, i.e., being able to to edit multicamera 4K streams, preview After Effects shots, etc.

By idea, with good developers, it can record Prores to USB 3.0 HDD.

So, if you plan to work with 4K videos on 4K monitors/TV and/or edit and play H.265 (will be standard in almost all next ear cameras) you are better with NVidia cards.

i7 16gb ram gtx 880m or higher 2-3gb perf. 500gb ssd windows 7?

also really want a thunderbolt port 15.6" would fit in my Ty 2 Ogio Bag with my camera I think and if I got a 17" I could put it in my other bag.

lookin to spend around $1000-1300ish.

I think I can get around $1200 for my whole tower? minus the monitor.

I am a film maker and am planning to go for the Panasonic GH4 camera.

On my current setup, i tried to run some original footages from the GH4 camera and its not very smooth on the Adobe Premier Pro editing software Playback while editing (Tried setting it at FULL, 1/4, 1/8 but its laggy).

Do i need an additional 755M Graphics card (or any other cheaper, better third party alternative for it)? Or just a further upgrade of 8GB internal Memory ram would be good enough with the preexisting 2gb 755M in my Laptop for the purpose mentioned? If yes, whats the best Memory upgrade for my laptop (Third party model name of the RAM, cost etc.).

Broadwell chip that Intel CEO Brian Krzanich promised to ship before the holiday season might not be the real McCoy. As you can imagine chip development takes a lot of time and effort and shrinking the Haswell architecture from 22nm and turning it into Broadwell at 14nm is not as easy as it sounds.

The original Broadwell design that got pushed back had to be slimmed down in order to get better yields. The chip can end up better than all Haswell chips that you can buy today in the mobile space, but Intel had more ambitious plans that could not realise in time.

After Broadwell the next ‘tock’ is called Skylake. Skylake was originally supposed to come in 2015 and should be based on a new architecture, but with the Broadwell delay Intel might postpone the follow-on chip

I have a laptop for quick edits (<5 mins) and cc on the road. But now that I've moved on to GH4, I can bearly edit 4k footage with 1/8 resolution, and adding any filter is out of the question. My output needs to be in 4k. I'm wondering whether it's possible to simply upgrade it rather than getting a brand new one.

Current config: i7-3630QM 2.4GHz 6MB 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD GT 650M 2GB gDDR3

I can expand to 16g ram or add SSD (usb 3.0). I don't want to get a new one as this is still newish by my std, but would hate it even more if the upgrades turn out to be useless...

So, what do u guys think? Is there anyway to salvage this laptop?

Tkx! Cindy.

That being said, it's still 100$ saved. Is there any real advantage in terms of speed of an internal SSD VS one connected via thunderbolt?

also will editing on the internal drive fragment it? maybe that's a stupid question but it is what I have heard in rumor around the internet.

I really can't find any faults as far as specs, performance, or battery life. Only thing left is to see the screen in person. Is there anything else with similar or better specs at a similar price ($1299 USD w/1800p display + 512GB SSD) that can compare? I'd rather not go back to Apple, as the only reason I bought the rMBP 15 was for the hardware, and I haven't warmed up to OS X or the gimped flavor of Windows run in Parallels and Boot Camp.
