New Office

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Just putting the finishing touches to the new digital facility at Elstree. Rogue now has a full digital prep facility that includes full 3D LUT capabilities, full DPX testing and capture, tungsten and daylight balanced enviroment with full colour charts and more.

 

Ask yourself what would be the the very best way to prep for a digital feature, the way Carlsberg would do it, and this is what you have at Elstree. It takes a lot of effort to make it look this easy ;-)

Rogue Data Management Team 2009

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

The Rogue Data Team has now been working on all the major data and tape based Digital Film systems and has completed full feature film workflows for the following camera systems :

Viper, Sony F35, SI-2K, Sony F23, F900R, 750P, D21, Genesis and many many more….

Rogue was the first UK based data team to deliver fully uncompressed image data for F900/1/2 and /3 series for commercials and features as well as the newer F900R recording 422 10bit images from the 900’s SDI output to data recorders as DPX frames.

More examples to follow, Rogue has developed them all and worked on them.

Rogue has worked on and serviced nearly every data camera and data signal possible, (4:4:4, 4:2:2 10 bit log/RGB and more) and now it is working with the new Sony S35MM F35 and SI-2K 2/3″ cameras, still recording the very best images and delivering pioneering workflow solutions to the UK and the world markets.

Stwo innovative OB-1 with FlashMag

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

ob11

Rogue Element Films will be pleased to annouce the availability of S.two’s innovative new product  the OB-1™ on-board recorder with removable FlashMag™ solid-state magazines for Summer 2009.

The OB-1 sets new standards for size, weight, power consumption, performance and flexibility in an uncompressed recorder, including support for 3D (2 x 4:4:4 camera feeds, like Rogues upcoming 1500R Log image 3D units). It is designed to be mounted directly on new-generation digital film cameras such as Rogue’s Sony’s F23 and S35mm F35. The 8×5x4-inch unit weighs less than 6 pounds, records uncompressed 4:4:4 RGB as DPX frames direct to the flashmags from up to two cameras simultaneously, and requires less than 28 watts of camera power at 10 to 36VDC.  The removable FlashMag media has a capacity of more than 30 minutes 4:4:4, incorporates multiple levels of internal redundancy, is hot-pluggable, and uses a connector rated for 100,000 insertions.

The FlashDock supports video and file-based (DPX) data transfers by incorporating multiple video and computer interfaces, including a colour touch-screen monitor. It can operate on 100-240VAC or 22-30VDC without external adapters, making it suitable for both Field and Studio use. An optional FlashDock Expansion Chassis supports multiple user-configurable peripheral devices such as LTO tape drives for completely self-contained backup and archival of data.

By offering the innovative S.two technology to our clients these pioneering products are the next logical step in tapeless and file based recording and workflow.  The OB-1 and FlashMag products  are supported by Rogue’s current S.two Corp docking stations, ingest telecine docking units and fully integrated data digtal film lab based at Elstree Studios.
