    • To be fair it is a conference for broadcasters by name...   But for real are we surprised? BMD is a much larger company than just consumer/prosumer/pro cine cameras. Everything is in the vertical integration for them – it's been that way for a long time. Hence the 2 hours of introducing a new product segment and then the oodles of support equipment necessary to make it work.
    • Pretty funny because I actually am very involved in the broadcast scene as well so it does appeal to me.  I'm super 50/50 split between cinematography/video/editing & pro broadcast work.  But I can understand there are products we wish they introduced that they did not.
    • We went to the moon in 1969 and it's obvious that people would eventually want to build a base there. So there's no need to get excited about the company that makes that possible. Even with the associated motion sickness and jarring take-off.
    • 'I can't believe a company would release broadcast equipment and try to get ahead in a new broadcasting industry at the National Association of Broadcasters.' I work in video and it's annoyed me that Canon keep releasing new printers! What do you mean Panasonic has a new microwave, I need faster AF! I don't need a PS5 for God's sake, why won't Sony give me better menus! At the very least, BMD is keeping within the same field and pushing the boundaries throughout the whole workflow as much as they're able to. Parts of this technology will eventually come to the more 'interesting' products and while we're waiting there's plenty of choice from other brands. It feels like I'm defending the brand, which I don't mean to do, but damn. Complaining that groundbreaking products don't fit your own expectations is pretty wild to me. If it's not for you, it's not for you. No need to get upset. My intial point remains, the amount of times Grant says things like 'but there's a problem with this process, so we've also created this solution' is very promising. I don't see many other companies thinking so far ahead and getting around problems that don't even exist yet.
    • Invented is a real stretch there.  As soon as VR headsets were a thing, it was obvious that people would eventually want to do it live.  Adding multiple cameras into the mix, with the associated awful jarring jumps between places, is hardly a revolution.  Plus there's the dystopia of standing amidst the futbol players after a goal is scored celebrating with them... only to a second later be standing in the midst of an immersive ad for erectile dysfunction pills. That's fine, but for me as a filmmaker, I really just don't give even a nugget of a shit about any of that stuff.  I would have really wanted some sort of bridge between the $5,000 and up gear with their fantastic RGBW sensors and the $3,500 and below gear which mostly uses 5+ year-old Sony sensors (such as the Pyxis 6K which uses an IMX410 from 2018, old enough to be in grade school).  IMX410 is a great sensor, but as Andrew pointed out, I can go buy a cheaper Fuji with a newer/better sensor.  An X-H2s costs less and has half the readout time and better dynamic range - and with the money saved, I can add raw and a second monitor with a Video Assist 12G.  Bonus: the video assist won't be locked in place awkwardly on the side of the goddamn camera.
