NDT-200 New in 2006. http://ffv.com/techlit/NDT_200_Specs.pdf Not widely used by 2008, records DV format files (latter QuickTime – QT can be played from MAC or PC if you install a player/converter) that are transferable to your laptop with a USB cable at a reasonably slow speed, not all speeds on playback, repair service is slow. Early version bugs seems to have been worked out. Early screen did not work well for touch entry. Recommend using solid-state laptop type memory rather than spinning hard drives. Current draw over 1A. 12V not 7.2V! Article: http://broadcastengineering.com/products/fast-forward-videounveils-portable-dvr-0915/ List prices: NDT 200 G with all software options = $1995 NDT 200 G with all software options & 320GB SATA HDD drive = $2199 NDT 200 G with all software options & 128 SATA SSD drive = $2795 Joe Walsh VP of Sales Office (843)-815-3268 Mobile (843)-540-1293 constantly changing staff, little support on the phone, little maintenance support, Hamlet packages these in Suitcases with DC-DC for small Sony Batts with 2 hours lifetime, and DA for 2 outputs - and does some repairs. PSU-3 (Probably not available in fall 2010? They have not answered email since summer 2010 but they exist as a rental house) Cost over Euro 50K = US$ 75K 2 camera HD or 4 camera SD, 24- 30V @ 90Watt. That is 24V @ 3,75 Amps, very low current use, amazing. Made in Germany to the highest standards of perfection and flexibility and ease of use. Showed a nearly complete version June 2010 in LA. HD solid state storage for now only 20 hours soon unlimited with external SATA drives. Very simple interface, no computer weirdnesses to deal with- it seems. Elegant temperature (fan) and voltage controls. Has a very low noise fan that goes off or into low mode while recording. Flexible HD and SD outputs. Vantage Film GmbH Phone +49 961 26795 Fax +49 961 62983 The PSU 3's touchscreen approach is seen as dubious by many but their experience over years is good. Cold, humidity or dirt can render the PSU-2 or 3 inoperative one would guess but it’s not so they say. Neat remotes with buttons for operator and director are available. The directors remote is linked to PSU via the video cable that carries HD to his monitor. http://www.cameradepartment.tv/files/downloads/brochures/psu3_brochure.pdf http://www.vantagefilm.com/en/news/index_37.shtml 10
user manual http://www.vantagefilm.com/file/pdf/equipment_30.pdf email cameras@vantagefilm.com from the website and my notes: In the past five years, many high-profile productions, thousands of commercials and several feature films from Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist to Rachid Bouchareb's Days of Glory have been shot using Vantage Film's PSU 2 (standard def.) as the video system on the set. Based on this experience Vantage Film now provides a new release in HD. Features like Scene/Take-Labeling ( searchable), Frame Line Generator or Multiple-Frame Print, green screen, multilayering, sizing, TC and non searchable notes field. add up to a complete system on the set. I feel a text only database is still missing. • Use the automatic take labeling function to name each take with its corresponding scene/take number. For each shooting day a report is automatically produced and made available over the USB2 digital interface. • With the Frame Line Generator you can display up to six different aspect ratios at the same time (1.33, 14:9, 1.66, 16:9, 1.85, 2.40). Every frame line can be individually designed; Zoom or adjustable gray Mask can be directly applied to them. Of course their Anamorphic lenses are fully supported. • If you are shooting with the Vantage Lector system linking to Arri cameras via the video cable to PSU, use the new footage counter, which will always show you the remaining film stock in your cameras. The PSU will record any speed changes and ramps done to the ARRI and reproduce them on playback. • The PSU-2Plus allows you to produce DVDs with your takes (selects or circled only). It is also possible to download takes as MPEG-files to your computer (and/or IPod or IPad) for “video” DVDs. Compression happens in the background. • Features like Auto-Playback-Mute of audio, Zoom-Out, On-Touch-Hide-or- Delete or Variable Sound Speed and pitch correction is included. They said they are not planning to charge for software upgrades. Post-Production Effects done in the PSU: Create overlays ( green screen or any one selectable color) with two running layers or with one running layer and one frozen image. The frozen image can be designed from three different snapshots. Images can be up and downloaded using the digital interface of PSU-2Plus: firewire or USB2 or LAN. Use Multiple-Frame-Print for previewing "dream or action sequences" shot at lower camera speeds and multiple frame printed at the laboratory to slow down the action. 11
