The specs are out there since months now. You never have checked them?
Well to explain myself. No i did not check!! Because i guess BMD products would work together.
Now the reason why this is a problem for me>> I have a video crane. I rent out the video crane a lot for Festivals and events.
At this moment we are filming with a 5D (which is CRAP in a video crane) As a 5D is never really build for filming purposes it is not easy to start / stop recording from a distance. The mirror will close a lot. And the HDMI output is 100% crap..
For us to integrate the crane into our HD mix setup for live events is now that we take my JVC HM700 SDI output and put it into the Atem. But when the night falls the 700 is not very good anymore in the dark. Also my Wide angle on the 700 is not as good as the wide angle from a 16mm on the 5D.
So to combine the best of 2 worlds without paying for a RED. i was convinced that the BMCC would be the right choice for me. Putting a 11mm lens on it and control it by LANC. It would be the perfect bang for the buck.. Hopefully some FW update will allow a interlaced output or i maybe some convertor that i can use..
So that's the story behind..
