That's "foe," by the way...

 

Actually except for a bunch of bad noise on this and other boards from the little-kids table there had been surprisingly little relevant information regarding DALSA from anyone in charge. That is, until yesterday's announcement from the third quarter financial statement. In case you skipped it, please refer to this sentence:

 

"The results of operations and financial position of DALSA?s Digital Cinema business unit have been segregated and presented separately as discontinued operations in the Company?s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the third quarter."

 

If anyone is still having trouble understanding just what is meant by "discontinued operations" some clarification exists on the DALSA financial conference call which can be listened to in its entirety here:

 

http://events.onlinebroadcasting.com/dalsa/103008/index.php

 

where you will hear from those individuals who actually sign the checks.

 

On another note, while I have a great deal of respect for Arriflex (and DALSA's sensor design and manufacturing capabilities) it is important to be realistic regarding the technical and engineering challenges inherent in merging a DALSA sensor into an Arri camera system. One does not just pry a CCD out of an Origin, solder it into a D21 and 'what-hey-presto' out pops a D22. Just creating a technical requirements document for such an endeavor will take a few months.

 

By the way, Keith, respectfully I think I can be the one to say: "I TOLD YOU SO." I certainly have stacks of blustery legal paperwork to back up that claim.

First of all i really don't need your correction(s), but thanks anyways!

It seem to me you are still bitter about the past which i find hilarious....

Good luck to you :huh:

Quite good news for Arri it seems. Be interested to see what will/could come from this...

ONLY GOOD THINGS.............BE PATIENT MY FRIENDS AND FO"S :rolleyes:

Hi Syrous,

 

Any chance of Dalsa making it across the pond? Would love to shoot a short on it, but think it might be quite expensive to recreate dirty London locations in LA! Also do you have any plans for anamorphic options with the evolution?

 

thanks for getting involved with the forum,

 

all the best,

 

Keith

Dear valued forum members,

Let me begin by introducing myself;

My name is Syrous Nabatian and here at DALSA I hold the title of " Manager of Production Operations/Camera Department", I know, it's a mouthful,lol.

Now that the UN-pleasantries are out of the way lets start with answers to some of the questions you had:

The good news is we do have production grade Evolution cameras in house, the bad news is they are booked and some are on projects as we speak.

Not to worry my fellow film makers and camera enthusiasts, I do have a couple of Beta units available in house for you to play with.

Also on the news front, in addition to Codex recording units we now offer S2 recorders; which is a flexible as well as compact option!

We also conduct classes and training twice a month, for those that are interested please go to our website and register; you might even win a prize ;) .

Since this is my first post on this forum I'm going to extend my personal "special offer" to the first five email responses to the post!

Now the offer;

If you qualify you get to shoot your own 5 minute short with the Evolution camera (based upon camera availability). That means we will walk you trough the DE-bayering process, show you how to render your material and show you a cost effective solution to capture and use 4k Raw.

You will meet DALSA digital Executive team over lunch and have a couple of laughs in the process.

You will receive some goodies at the end of the day from our Marketing Department.

You will also meet the Dalsa Technical staff in case you work on a project with the Evolution in the future, and we will run you through the "do's and don'ts" on the camera.

For more details on the offer you can contact me via my email or simply pick up the phone and call me!

I also would like to know what you think about posts like this?

Do you find it useful?
