and one more, it shows an aes/spdif i/o on the same side, how is that possible??? looks like a bnc connection??? i didnt know aes could be sent via bnc???

bean

no external drive or CF hooked up, the only drive on that display is the internal.

batteries shown will run the unit for approx 7 hrs.

i'll get back to you on the aes/spdif

right column:
date/time, bits, freq, don't know

The "don't know" is likely for SMPTE - 30 ND = 30 fps, non-dropping. I would think 24, 25, and 29 DF are also options.

you're right

I don't like how the meters are numbered. They have -12 way at the top. Right next to 0, basically.

they're to be renumbered for production

Yeah, kinda interesting.  Five increments to go from -40 > -30, yet only three to go from -12 > 0.  More granularity in the -40/-30 range than the -12/0 range.  Huh.  Maybe greater granularity that far down the scale is useful for film/tv/radio type stuff and granularity farther up the scale isn't very useful?

Well, I was gonna post the above, but then you chimed in again, JR.  Any idea what the new arrangement will be?

so when will they ship?!?

irst number on meter will be -50. and they will be tighter, with moore room on the top end, i believe.

Thanks for the pictures!

Is there a part number for that power connecctor?

What if there is a battery installed and an external DC source?  will the battery attempt to charge off the DC source?  

Is there a manual ready yet or any word on the HD installation proceedure?

programable start/stop, like a vcr.  super sealth, if needed.

With a big ass HD, just start it in the car ;-)

it's a 4 pin hirose connector,don't know the part number.   pins 1/4 for running the unit, pins 2/3 for charging the battery.  for DC, just use 1/4, for AC, use all four.

he was working on the manual when we were leaving.

Battery.  John, were you sleeping?    
There is no need for an external battery.  One of those large $70.00 or under Sony or RayOVacs will run the unit for over 3 hours.  I can't foresee ever buying another sla (unless I need the heavy festivarian 12v).

[Flarnet]

Gain range of the preamp section? At what signal does it produce 0dBFS with everything turned down?

JULY?  damn....sold the laptop...

What show runs three hours including the opener?  And a festival can be 10-12 hrs a day for 3 days.  And when I'm running across states between shows, I can't charge the $70 camcorder battery but a $20 SLA should run a couple shows.  I can see alot of use for an external SLA with one of these unless the Li battery will run 4-5 hours.  Did you guys happen to learn the current draw through the external DC port?


Were you guys just bullshitting about July?

Cool. I thought you were saying that only the bottom number was going to be changed.

I wouldn't sell those laptops yet.  I just found out that my order is scheduled for delivery in late June.
