Hi Jan.
That was just pointed out to me by someone else. Awesome. That is very good news. I believe as time goes on this kind of option of giving costumers small updates and whatever else is offered via SW updates makes owners feel much happier about there purchase and that there HVX200 has room to improve possible issues and grow as well.
BTW,
Jan did you see the “singer ” footage posted? That was quite nice. Very rich in colors.

May 13, 2005 at 1:02 am in reply to: Off topics: Any Varicam shooters here! Need an answer….We are waiting for a PA to fax us a section out of the manual from the office.
I figured to be safe, I didn’t want to want to poke around without asking. That’s all we need, a broken V.27 on our hands. We are getting some wonderful images today.
Mariusz, If we have an issue as in the PA screws up that fax, I will email you. Or call in the morning with the number you posted if that’s alright with you?
Mariusz, even though the settings are backed up, will the V27 reset on all levels?
Again, Mariusz thanks for responding so quickly.

Ron and Kathlyn, thank you, it’s wonderful to be back.
I had a fantastic conversation with Ron Lindeboom. As Ron mentions we go back ten years at-least when I had joined a SIG ( special Interest Group ) over at AOL. My aol days; the sig was so cool. I was there because I was involved with the VVS radius system and trying to learn this new technology called NLE. I actually didn’t know tell our conversation that Ron owned another site that I thought highly of. Ron and I had atleast a two hour conversation. We talked about the earlier days and were it has come now. The late Charles McConathy etc. I actually no more about Ron and his wife Kathlyn, and how much they have been involved in this business then I did before our conversation. I feel that I have made a connection with two wonderful souls and have two more friends in my life.
I will always go out of my way to clear the air with others. Having friends is a very powerful experience that no one should ever avoid. Having enemies leads to internal decay of your soul. My parents taught me that you always try to resolve a problem to the fullest. People who know me, know that is who I am, and how I conduct myself.
On this planet, people need people; as a forest needs water to grow. It is our daily experience that we have with people that waters our soul, and if we look for the positive and do what is right, we grow with them into a beautiful forest.
Ron and I talked about how this board exists because of everyone. We must interact here as if we were in Ron and Kathyln’s home at an outdoor barbecue face to face; treat each other as friends do, with respect , and be proud to be in the company of such wonderful friends.
All of us should be grateful to whatever belief we carry inside our heart; that we are so lucky to be around such beautiful souls.
Sincerely,
Michael Pappas
Just one of the people that makes up the family here……………….

April 29, 2005 at 9:23 pm in reply to: Attn: Jan and Panasonic: informal poll on removable lense for HVX-200Noah,
Of cousre there is difference between the CCD’s. Night and Day
So even more so, putting a B4 or 1/3 mount won’t hurt Varicam sales.
But, cripple the camera? Why kill “” OPTIONS “”
Simple, Panasonic has B4 and 1/3 mounts in their resources. In the end it’s cheaper. To make a fixed lens requires for you to hire a 3rd party company to design the optics and a long time of testing to marry it to your system.
This alone 1 to 2 years of R&D. That will cost a lot more then using mounts or the tooling you already have in your resources.
They do however machine 100 dollar mounts, the technology has been in their company for many years.
Why is this hard for you to understand Noah. If you do understand this, then you would easily understand by Panasonic going the mount route that is cheaper for them to do.
You know as a Filmmaker you could rent lenses, renting is mostly how it’s done.
Noah I have a question for you…
If you had made Formosa with the HVX (if it was out then), would you not prefer to have the option using professional lenses from a rental house.
Noah, why didn’t you make Formosa using Varicam?

I thought we had no Issue?
You know, I only care about pushing envelope as far as I can.
But condescending is what your going to do to someone you have NEVER met and have no reason to be childish too………..

I would rent my lenses depending on my needs. Good lenses are cheap to rent. Compared to camera packages. Outside of that, I would find a good 1/3 or hook up a B4 mount adapter and test lesnes that work. But when I need the best lenses, I rent lenses.
It’s about the “OPTIONs”
Here is example!
On my Canon DSLR I have a Canon – 70-200 F2.8 L IS USM It’s a 2,000 dollar lens on a DSLR rebel that cost less then half that. When you have lens options it’s always better. I rented a month ago a ( Canon – 28-300mm ) that is a $2,600 dollar lens that is three times more then the my camera. From our rental house here it was $56 a day to shoot for two days.
It’s all about “”OPTIONS”

>>>> Yes you would. The same reason when you hook up a P+S TECHNIK to a fixed lens on a low res SD camcorder like a DVX100a or PD170.
Even though the fixed lens is now the weakest link. Your lens performance is improved.
Now on a High Def with no weak link, like a fixed lens. It’s even better. A B4 or 1/3 mount is about “OPTIONS”
