N.A.B. 2013

PostSun Mar 24, 2013 9:09 am

What can we expect out of N. A. B. regarding the cinema camera? Updates? A new model? Competitive response from another company? Any Ideas?

Hello,

already wrote this in another thread, but it also fits here...

Since BMCC is a paradigm shift, a so-called Disruptive Innovation
by seeing cameras as workflow tools,
I think the only real competition to the BMCC we'll see at NAB would be more cams from BMD
following this new definition which is not restricted to cinema cams.
BMD had defined a camera market for it's own and will make other markets obsolete over time.

For NAB 2013, I'd expect the further development of this philosophy by
improving camera capabilities in terms of workflow and usability.

Realistically:
BMCC-update by an electronic MFT mount and a major firmware release.

Wishful thinking:
an altered hull design with V-Mount battery, 12bit ProRes4444 or ProResRAW (?), HDMI out,
full sized XLRs.

More wishful thinking:
an ENG version for video journalists with ProResHQ at 1080p/50/59,94
based on the current BMCC technology.


Best regards,
Bernhard

This is very far fetched but so was the BMCC at first. Would BM enter the world of high speed Cinema cameras to compete with the Phantom flex etc? I already have my BMCC on order but if they released a high speed camera with 500+fps at 1080p or higher at a similar price point I would for sure buy that too!
