Uncompressed 4:4:4 Stereoscopic Camera System - 3DVX3


This looks like a pretty impressive piece of kit. Stereoscopic 1280x720 HD camera, with the video recorded to two Mac CPU's mounted in the case!

No doubt costs a fortune but maybe could inspire DIY solutions. Gives me notions of using a Mac Mini in some kind of DIY HD camera. I'd be more likely to just duct-tape two hi-8 camcorders together or something though. :)

This is NOT HD. These are 2 Panasonic DVX100s stuck together. Not even sure if this is a real photo. If it is real, it's still not HD. The DVX100s are only about 500 lines of resolution.

TRUE HD is 1080 lines and usually records to P2 cards unless it's the propitiatory HDV which is a compressed MPEG codec. Or the professional D5.
