Kinetta 4K Film Recorder  NEW Film Recorder

THE KINETTA 4K FILM RECORDER. SIMPLE. RELIABLE. AFFORDABLE.   AND   F A S T !

It can run at up to 4 frames per second (depending on the type of files being recorded and the stock being used).

That means you can output a 90-minute film in about ten hours, including reloading. Fast enough to let you make multiple first-generation negatives, rather than lose two generations making expensive IPs and dupe negatives.

And it's designed to use camera stocks, with all of their organic texture and beauty -- not boring dupe stocks. This makes digitally originated films look and feel like films, not big-screen videos. You can choose different stocks for different looks -- soft or contrasty, flat or saturated, grainless or grainy.

Camera stocks are more versatile than dupe stocks. And Kodak is making stocks like 5205 available in 2000 foot rolls, on a tough Estar base -- perfect for large print runs.

The Kinetta 4K Film Recorder comes with a dual-processor G5 Macintosh, and a 2.4 TB array. A Blackmagic Decklink HD Pro card can be added, so material can be captured directly to the system from any 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 HD source, via single or dual-link HD-SDI.

The easy-to-use Kinetta Player software permits you to mix .dpx files, TIFFs, and Quicktime movies, all on the same reel. Each item can have its own 3D LUT, and can be scaled or cropped as needed. You can use 4K, 2K, or HD files. Player will add standard leaders, head and tail information -- even subtitles. You can easily customize it to your needs.

Simple and reliable. No tubes or lasers to replace. The high-resolution LCD imaging panel is rated for 50,000 hours of use. The legendary Mitchell camera is a workhorse, known for rock-steady images. Cost of ownership is significantly lower than other film recorders.

SPECIFICATIONS

Resolution

3840 x 2400 pixels maximum.

HD images are scaled to 3840 x 2160 pixels, preserving their 1:1.77 aspect ratio. (Can be hard-matted to 1:1.88 if desired.)

 

Speed

Maximum speed is a function of both the file format (some files take more computer processing time than others) and the speed of the film stock.

Slow stocks, like 5245, limit running speed to just over 1 frame per second. Faster stocks, like 5205, permit frame rates of up to 4 fps.

Quicktime files will play out more quickly than .dpx files. Lower resolution files will also play more quickly, as there is less data to deal with.

 

Computer & Storage

Includes a dual-processor Mac G5 with 2.4 TB SATA array (option: hotswap drive trays).

Optional Decklink HD Pro card can be added for direct ingest of HD-format video (either 4:2:2 or 4:4:4).

 

Camera

Mitchell Standard, with dual-pin registration, rackover viewing for focus and framing check. Accepts optional 1000 foot or 2000 foot Mitchell magazines, or 2000 foot Kinetta magazine.

File Formats

Quicktime

Quicktime movies, with resolutions up to 3840 x 2400. Will read any file format Quicktime can read. You can select either an entire QT file, or set your own in and out points for each clip.

Log Custom: 10-bit log file with custom black, white, gamma, and softclip values.

 

Title Track

A title track acts like a downstream key. You can overlay TIFF images with alpha channel in full resolution over the picture to print. This can be useful for screen resolution titles, subtitles, etc.
