Silicon Imaging Brings the New SI-3D Minideck Recorder to NAB
posted:
Portable Recorder for 12-bit RAW Uncompressed Stereo 3D
The SI-3D Minideck includes an easy-to-use, 7” touch-screen interface providing filmmakers with access to all of the camera settings, including resolution, frame-rate, white balance, stereo adjustment and 3D-LUT color processing. The Minideck’s high-brightness HD LCD display can show the left- and right-eye channels individually, or combined in anaglyph, 50-50, wiggle, split-screen or side-by-side views. All of the tools are provided to monitor camera alignment and parallax without the need for special 3D displays or glasses. It also features a built-in Ambient Clockit timecode generator and reader.
Stereoscopic content is recorded to a single QuickTime file with all associated color and convergence metadata. The footage can be edited immediately, without prior rendering or format conversions.
“There is an explosion in demand for high-quality stereo cameras and workflows for efficient broadcast and feature film production,” explained Ari Presler, CEO of Silicon Imaging. “The SI-3D camera and Minideck recorder enables portable stereo shooting with unprecedented image quality.”
Weighing in at just 3.8 lbs., the SI-3D Minideck is ideal for Steadicam applications and shoulder rig documentary-style shooting. The Minideck offers composite video output, ideal for RF monitoring or an SVGA output for the Silicon Imaging OLED Electronic Viewfinder.
The SI-3D Minideck was developed in conjunction with OEM partner Cinedeck, a leader in ultra-portable HD recorders. Early production units are already in use on Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, a Warner Herzog 3D A&E documentary and Discovery Channel’s 3D pilots for Cake Boss and Mythbusters.
