HPA Tech Retreat 2010 - Day 2

Demo Room Goodies…

S.two’s field offload station.

S.two’s field station allows offloading of a flashpack to a portable eSATA drive at about 10 fps, or an upcoming S.two 5-drive RAID (black box) at about 32 fps. It’s all driven from the touchscreen next to the flashpack.

3D LUT used by Cine-tal’s Davio box to match a Panasonic plasma to P3 color space.

Panasonic showed a Cine-tal Davio driving a plasma in the DCI P3 color space.

Dolby’s 3D in the home demo.

Dolby demoed 3D 1080p using h.264 compression at 7.5 Mbit/sec. Looked pretty good. Compression artifacts were visible… but only if you went right up to the screen and looked for them.

Quantel Pablo NEO color-grading console.

Quantel took two round-the-world trips to work with colorists in the process of designing this control surface. Dang, it’s sweet.

SwissRig beamsplitter 3D rig.

Another beamsplitter rig. This one has the second camera upshooting instead of downshooting.

1Beyond 3D field recorder.

1Beyond’s “Wrangler” box fitted out for live recording of dual SI-2K cameras for 3D field work.

And then, at dinner, the HPA roasted Mark Schubin…

The Mark Schubin Opera Chorus. Frightening to behold.

Bearded Lady Deborah McAdams toasts/roasts Mark Schubin.

Some of Steve Lampen’s questions for Mark.

Mark’s answers:

• Yes.

• Through the hatch.

• Because it was there.

• I carefully examined a blank tape, to verify that it was blank.

16 CFR Part 255 Disclosure

I attended the HPA Tech Retreat on a press pass, which saved me the registration fee. I paid for my own transport, meals, and hotel. The past two years I paid full price for attending the Tech Retreat (it hadn’t occurred to me to ask for a press pass); I feel it was money well spent.

No material connection exists between myself and the Hollywood Post Alliance; aside from the press pass, HPA has not influenced me with any compensation to encourage favorable coverage.
