Small box camera please with some out of the box interfaces.
- HW serial interface to read parameters from camera and fully control it, including lens.
- A dedicated exposure pulse. a pulse that goes high at start and low at end of each frame capture via dedicated interface.
- Each frame to have couple of hundred bytes of data that could be annotated by user via serial interface.
- Accurate time code over serial interface.
- Method to easily synch several cameras with a simple cable between the cameras. No additional boxes required.
- couple of extra I/O lines for future expansion.
- 5V 0.5A power out for easy attachment of accessories.
- No SBUS, VISCA, LANC, B4 lens etc. interfaces. instead provide small adapters that interface via the serial interface. (and/or source code for Arduino to make such interface)
- SDI out, USB C for recording media, no internal recording media slots.
- How cables leave the camera well thought of. It is not good that they stick out form every side of the camera. It would be good that USB C goes a bit into the camera etc.
- Ethernet could be nice, but rather that would be with an external box, to limit the cables leaving directly form the camera.
Keep in mid how to attach it to a gimbal
External battery only
URSA Mini Pro lens mounting system.
selectable global shutter
Other sensor technology, recording formats, bit depths, resolution etc. This is something BMD does already very well. Just make sure it is good also for green screen work.
Strong body and enough good attachment points, no gage required design.
And that would be awesome.
I do have some ideas how that would be used
