That sounds very interesting.
When do you target being available for the public?
I'm testing a set of the acrylic primes right now on my collection of Canon 1Dc cameras (i.e. I have four Canon 1Dc cameras with EF mount with all manual controls on the lenses). I have 18 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm and 135 mm primes at T1.5 (i.e. scientifically measured stops used by Hollywood productions so you don't have to stop down to get full sharpness at fully open aperture!). Once our 60-item high-tech item disclosure is done, we will release to sale which will be online-only for now until retail partners pick up the lines of our camera bodies and lenses.
We have our own mount system which are installed on our in-house-designed-and-built cameras which goes waaaaaay beyond the cinema-oriented PL-mount that can lock and hold lenses of up to 2000 KG (5000 lbs) and has packet-based fibre-optics communications busses with a custom-designed SONAR/LIDAR/RF 3D-XYZ depth scanning features, combined digital electrochromic global shutter and 256-level electrochromic neutral density filters built-in with digital cookie-cutter/vignettes selectable by the user on-set using software or hardware dials, linear induction-based (i.e. magnetic rail induction drives) for focus, iris and zoom that are ultra-quiet and ultra-precise!
Other versions of the mount are a rounded-corners rectanglular and a large square-mouth locking mechanism which supports stereoscopic and quadro-scopic lenses going into two sensors or four sensors (i.e. two RGB+D sends and two tri-band IR, tri-band-UV or soft/hard X-Ray sensors used for nightvision, scientific and astro-imaging). These are used for situations where you want 64-bits per RGB+Distance colour pixel 3D stereoscopic imaging AND 16-bits wide (65536-levels) of 3D stereoscopic nightvision IR thermal, UV or X-ray greyscale imagery at the same time for the subject you are filming.
Our camera bodies have MULTIPLE sensors built-in on rotating sensor assemblies so there are only FOUR body sizes made available with each body having an Octagonal-shaped rotating sensor assembly that can hold EIGHT different sensors -- Rotate the dial to the sensor you want or select via wireless or in-menu software setting or use one of the hot-buttons that are pre-set to a specific sensor type/format/resolution.
We are offering for sale to the general consumer and professional still photo and video market, a small lightweight body that has a-bit-larger-than-one-inch sensor sizes (15 mm by 10 mm) for prosumer applications and as on-body or in-vehicle action cameras with RGB+Distance and full-band IR/UV/XRay/Greyscale sensors, a full-frame camera body with 32, 64 and 128 megapixels (36 mm by 24mm) RGB+Distance and full-band IR/UV/XRay/Greyscale sensors, a medium format camera body with 128, 256 an 512 megapixel RGB+Distance and full-band IR/UV/XRay/Greyscale sensors (54 mm by 36 mm) and an ultra-large format 150 mm by 100 mm camera sensor body with support for cinema production and for high-end gigapixel stills and video imagery (131,072 by 88,838 pixels) and 25 microns per photo site at 6K resolution nightvision and 50 microns per photosite at 3K resolution for ultra-low-light RGB+Distance nightvision greyscale imaging! All cameras are 16-bits per colour, greyscale and alpha/distance channel for 64-bit RGB+Distance colour and full-bandwidth 65,536 levels (16-bits wide) nightvision and multi-spectral greyscale imagery.
All bodies are highly-ruggedized IP-68/IP-69 rated for dust and water ingress and Mil-Spec 810K rated for drop and vibration ratings and for wide-environmental -60C to +60C temperature range use. All bodies use removable ruggedized SATA SSD drives for maximum hard drive-based photo counts and maximum video recording times (i.e. 20, 40 and 60 TB SSD drives coming soon!)
We also support on-board image and metadata file encryption (i.e. is always on!) to protect your stills/video from unauthorized viewing. All images and every video frame is stamped with saved metadata information of Date/Time/GPS stamping plus Frame Number, SMPTE Timecode, 3D-XYZ position/distance measures from one or more subject/RF transmitters in mm, cm, metres and km, plus focal length, iris setting, zoom setting and 3D-XYZ camera and lens orientation in degrees decimal useful for VFX post-production work. We also record metadata light levels in lux/candelas and foot/candles plus environmental chroma-colour information (i.e. chroma meter info) for every frame also useful for VFX lighting work. Other lens, camera body and custom metadata can be added and recorded on a scene-by-scene basis or recorded for every frame into various file formats! We even support wired and wireless MIDI and GPIO connectors and custom binary data/text data/XML data triggering which sends signals to audio/visual/mechanical systems that can control lighting, fireworks, robotics and other IOT or Industrial Machines for specialized commercial and artistic applications.
Full Wifi, Bluetooth and RJ-45/Fibre connections are in-body and can be used all at once for camera body and lens control and for stills/video and metadata uploads/downloads at the required user-set bandwidth and resolution or frame rate. Video, Stills and Metadata can be recorded and saved into multiple file formats, multiple resolutions and frames rates all at the same time so that end-users of the imagery can receive lower-resolution imagery right away for instant news/web use and then receive a higher-resolution imagery later for cinema and photo post-production in various RAW and compressed formats and various still image and video frame sizes. Audio/Video/Metadata can also be streamed in real-time to MULTIPLE destination IP addresses at different file/formats, resolutions and frame rates for specialized cinema and scientific uses via user-defined presets assigned to specific hot-buttons or via touchscreen menus.
There is a LOT of new technology coming out in the next few weeks.
IT'S SHOW TIME !!!
