They come in capacities of 120GB to 640GB (the 640 you have to buy from the Hyperstore). Neat thing is it does much of what the Nexto does and has a feature so you can write scripts on the controller which is good for telling the unit how to separate your RAW files from everything else. The drawback is it doesn't have the extended range of card interfaces as the Nexto and you can only backup about 250GB's per battery charge.</p> <p>On the otherhand, if you're not working with RED, P2 or SxS anyway that won't be an issue. Take a look:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/594352-REG/Sanho_SAHDCSUDMA500_HyperDrive_COLORSPACE_UDMA.html#features">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/594352-REG/Sanho_SAHDCSUDMA500_HyperDrive_COLORSPACE_UDMA.html#features</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/basic-audio-tips#post-57187 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:25:45 +0000 composite1 57187@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><em>"When the cellphones are silent, what exactly make that weird sound?</em></p> <p>Sarge,</p> <p>That 'weird sound' is your audio gear picking up the wireless 'ping' as the system locates your phone or bluetooth device prior to making it ring. Shielded audio gear will cut down on that. Best thing to do is just turn off your cellphone and bluetooth devices while filming.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/basic-audio-tips#post-57185 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:22:53 +0000 SargeHero 57185@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>When the cellphones are silent, what exactly make that weird sound? One time I was recording something using my Audio interface (Audiobox USB) with handheld mics. I had that exact same problem so I told everyone to turn off their cellphones, but I could still hear that weird sound. There was an Ipod touch so I thought that was the problem, but it wasn't. Then when I turned off the bluetooth from my computer the weird sound stops.  I had no idea why or if the bluetooth was actually the cause, but it stop. That was the last time that happen to me and it also was the first time that happen. Is very troublesome when you hear for the first time the weird sound and not having a clue where on earth is coming from.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/basic-audio-tips#post-57179 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:30:48 +0000 composite1 57179@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I love sound work almost as much as video. For some dumb reason Sound Design and Field Audio are always considered 'secondary' aspects of film and videomaking. Unless you plan on making a silent movie (good luck with that), you're going to have to pay attention to sound. Even at the highest ends of production you can still get bit in the backside by poor sound capture. Here is a video by Ben Slotover with some 'Tips for Good Sound'. Be advised, there is some salty language in spots so watch at your discretion.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/10256943">Tips for good sound</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3397658">Ben Slotover</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/digital-in-the-field#post-56373 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 09:30:00 +0000 XTR-91 56373@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>From what I've heard it seems that some cameras are even capable of streaming via Firewire while recording and storing using the Fireware input on an external hardrive, some even at 1, 2, 3 or even 4 TB.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/digital-in-the-field#post-56370 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:20:07 +0000 composite1 56370@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Here on the forum there is a constant stream of posters asking, "What should I do to save my videos?" Now, that's a broad question. But whether you're shooting tape or one of the varieties of 'tapeless' card-based flavors, the issue these days is archiving both for long-term but primarily in the field.</p> <p>The following article "Blazing a Path in the Digital Wilderness" by Carl Mrozek covers a wide range of areas including; outdoor/wildlife, workflow in the field, storage/power issues and a lot more! Though his work is primarily with P2 based tech (this ought to make Robgrauert very happy), he does talk about XDCAM and other tapeless digital professional formats. </p> <p>So how can this work for you? Granted you may not be like the featured Cinematographer Dereck Joubert and drop $750k worth of equipment in a crocodile filled river and have to go fish it out, but how he dealt with that and continued on is a great example of what today's gear is capable of. </p> <p><a href="http://dv.com/article/93000">http://dv.com/article/93000</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/good-answer-for-field-flash-storage#post-55475 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 10:01:58 +0000 composite1 55475@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There have been a number of products coming out lately that deal with the number 1 issue concerning Flash Media in the field. Yeah, solid-state cards are great since you don't have to digitize the footage but when they fill up you have to take time to download them or buy a buttload of cards which can get expensive. </p> <p>Videographer Paul Joy's video review of Nexto's latest answer to this problem answered a lot of my questions about the rig and as I move further into a solid-state workflow, I see this on my list of future purchases.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9454378">NEXTO DI NVS2500 Video Review</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/pauljoy">Paul Joy</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/portable-wireless-audio-equipment#post-51948 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:06:15 +0000 lucifer2a 51948@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have the Sennsenheiser EW100 G2 ENG...
