• Introduction to the Blackmagic URSA Upgradable 4K Digital Film Camera
• Discussion on film camera technology vs digital solutions in video production
• Blackmagic's goal: create a compact, ENG-sized 4K camera with advanced features
• The camera will have upgradable sensors and lens mounts
• It will feature multiple displays, including a built-in 10-inch display and two additional screens
• The camera can be used for ENG, commercial productions, and feature films, allowing multiple operators to monitor different aspects of the footage
• It has professional-quality inputs and outputs, including 12G SDI and supports internal dual RAW and ProRes recorders
• The camera uses CFast media, a standard extension of compact flash, which is more versatile than proprietary media used by other cameras
• The speaker discusses the cost and capabilities of a camera with a $6,000 price tag.
• The camera's 4K sensor is mentioned as a notable feature, but also that it doesn't require an expensive firmware upgrade or external recorder to record directly to 1080p.
• The speaker compares this to their own camera setup, which has cost over $10,000 and still can't shoot 4K due to pending firmware updates.
• The open standards and upgradability of the camera are praised as significant advantages.
• The discussion then shifts to a demo and a critique of Thunderbolt technology.
• The speaker discusses Thunderbolt 2's ability to enable 10 gigabit per second Ethernet connections between Mac and PC
• The Mac Pro with six Thunderbolt 2 connections can create a super-fast network connecting to expansion devices like storage
• This makes Thunderbolt a more feasible option for multi-user working environments where everyone needs access to the same resources at the same time
• Previous limitations of the Mac Pro in expanding to 10 gig Ethernet without buying additional equipment are addressed by Thunderbolt's capabilities
• Some critics argue that this approach moves away from centralized switching and back towards token ring or daisy chaining individual computers, which is seen as inefficient but also serves as an intermediary solution for those who cannot afford high-end networking hardware.
