Kodak Kai based CCD cameras with HD-SDI output with Blackmagic Hyperdeck

zcream

Since my first film is complete, I want to try out options for a 3D rig. The human eye can extract more resolution from 2x frames in 3-D than a single 2D frame. Hence CCD cameras with interpolated pixels should theoretically work. My options are

a. 2x HDC-SD9 uncompressed HDMI 4:2:2

b. JVC GY-HM100 uncompressed HDMI 4:2:2

and

a. Linovision HDC-VEC876PF http://linovision.en.alibaba.com/product/529618464-213194157/Wholesale_Full_HD_1080P_2_3_2_0_Megapixel_KODAK_CCD_HD_SDI_camera_HDC_VEC876PF.html

b. Tauri - HD 02150 SDI http://www.kappa.de/en/camfinder/Tauri-HD_02150_SDI_Color%20%20.html?p=1

I think the Linovision is the same as this one - for its specs. http://www.worldeyecam.com/store/imax-hdsdi-hf3211p-2-3-2.0-megapixel-kodak-ccd-full-hd-box-camera.html or this one http://icrealtime.com/solutions/pdshowg.asp?pdid=HDSDICAMERA

I'll update this post when I get the camera from the Chinese suppliers. I am also ordering an extra Hyperdeck.

You will need to synchronise the cameras. If you cannot do that you will be SOL

Yep, very interesting thing. Keep us updated.

what software will you use for capture? i've been wanting to try this. I reckon the signal will be 4:2:0 or something though

Looks like the Kappa can do 4:2:2 10-bit output which would be pretty perfect for Prores or DNxHD on the Hyperdeck. I'm really interested in this too since I have a Hyperdeck Shuttle just sitting around. I wouldn't use it for 3D, but a tiny 2D setup with global shutter (I assume it has global since it's CCD) would be pretty great. I'm excited to hear how things turn out!

@HenryO Re:- Kappa Tauri The cameras can be synced with RS 232 (RS 485) signal control. They advertise that they can supply Identical camera pairs for 3D systems

I finally got a reply. The Aja Gen10 works for syncing the cameras. http://www.aja.com/en/products/mini-converters/gen10/

Howdy, Stranger!
