@tvaziri I have a vivid memory of seeing The Abyss in Times Square in the summer of 1989. As Bud (Ed Harris) descended in his liquid-oxygen suit his wife kept radioing to him. “Can you see the light, Bud? Bud, can you see the light?” Finally a guy behind me yelled, “I wanted a Bud Light!”

@Chris_Cardno I always wished that Honda would have released an Element-shaped gas can, handle at the hood. Would have sold one with every car.

Very excited to receive this @TheInvisibleMan action figure

The original mechanical mockup of the VariCam 35. I have a great new desk ornament.

@Stuart_Dennis The real value isn’t the increased dynamic range because 90% of the time we won’t use it. But the Rec2020 color pallet is always used and vastly improves the image.

@themattgorrie @CineBill I imagine that engineers are working the problem on a component level. I don’t know if it’s possible but the current math shows the reduction in protection. It goes directly to how they function so that would require a ground-up re-design.

🤯 The origin/making of the Seinfeld theme.

So much to unpack here...
First: This dude.
Second: He re-recorded it for every single episode
Third: the bpm set to Jerry’s timing?
Fourth: it wasn’t a real bass?!

@CineBill @thekayfox @jairajs @TheNewsshooter This has been an extended research project at Panasonic as well. It’s difficult because the issue is hard to replicate.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@thekayfox @CineBill @jairajs @TheNewsshooter Be my guest and live in denial. But that does not change the reality of what I have been directly involved with across multiple major manufacturers.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@thekayfox @CineBill @jairajs @TheNewsshooter In hyper-extreme cases this can be the case, but in practical use what you describe is 1-in-millions. The issue I’m talking about is more 1-in-thousands.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@thekayfox @pampariusfilms @CineBill I’m not able to speak to that as I don’t have details. Note that I was at Convergent Design for the release of Odyssey & Apollo and transition from 3G SDI to 6G SDI circuits. I can tell you this is an issue across manufacturers.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@thekayfox @CineBill @jairajs ARRI posted and @TheNewsshooter picked it up for a story. I commented on the ARRI post & article on CML earlier today. Bill shared the link in this thread. I’m sorry to break the news to you that you are wrong about this.

USA promotion

@themattgorrie @CineBill It’s not design. It’s physics.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@pampariusfilms @CineBill Some 3G devices could be more sensitive, but it became more prevalent with 6G and 12G. To allow that high data level to pass the SDI ports could not have as much voltage protection.

@ghuff @elleschneider @Nickrob There’s a point where you can’t dumb down an image for all systems and uses, otherwise you’ll only have bland, simplistic imagery. Also, the better it is at the start the less likely there will be issues down the line.

[M Gross Panasonic @MitchPanasonic]

@elleschneider @Nickrob Correct.
