What video cameras did you guys use at CES?

Just watched the latest edition and was wondering what camera you used and which on cam light?

Got an HV20 myself.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

So you guys didn't use an IMAX (or higher-resolution) camera, and upload the full uncompressed videos? :(

I thought they were using a RED Epic 617 with its 261mp but I could be wrong and just wanted to check :D

Actually, come to think of it, that sounds more like it. I think they had it set at ISO 409600, and had the 3200mm F/0.7 lens mounted on it. :D

I think they're using HV30s now.

[rikki]

Wouldnt happen to know the lighting unit they use would you fella?

[samureye]

No idea, and don't quote me on the HV30s either. I do remember Serafina mentioning HV30, I believe in the systm episode for the home-made Segway.

Nope, we've still got our trusty HV20, and a JVC camera (http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/features.jsp?model_id=MDL101623) with a sun gun.

For the live CES or the pre-recorded stuff like at Macworld or both?

Both. The live shows were shot with just the JVC (we're working on getting a switcher but at CES were limited to a 1-cam setup)

Okay, I'm looking into getting an HV30 myself. Feel free to pictch a systm episode on the setup you guys use, lights, batteries, the Hard Drive add-on thing, etc :)
