How about implementing Spark in a „live“ broadcast environment? All features needed are actually already there:
Continuous Recording
Two seperate Signal outs, a second SDI would be even better.
Ability to load LUTs, to match broadcast cameras.
Things that are missing:
Clean Feed out to OB-Truck
Playback Control via iPhone and App: fast search with search bar to find in point, than hit play button and next to the play button 5 user definable speed buttons (for example 1x, 2x, 4x, 10x and 20x faster for real time playback) to make speedramps if needed: so from 10x to 1x to 20x and to 1x again)
Timecode Set up only internally to find clips faster (like 18:15:56:50 meaning hours:minutes:seconds:frame)
Fast turnaround/switching between playback(thumbnail) and live-recording to hit record again.
Hi Nedo, this sounds great! Most of the features are already available or currently in development!
There’s one feature I’d like to confirm: Clean Feed out to OB-Truck. Could you clarify what exactly this means? For example, does it refer to using an SDI output to deliver a clean video stream without any overlays, menus, or parameter information?
this is exactly what it means, a clean signal without any overlays to the OB-Truck via SDI. Also the choice to switch the resolution between 2160p50/60 and 1080p50/60 or 1080i50/60, since a lot of broadcast production are still delivered in HD.
A second SDI out would be nice, since HDMI has more lags/delay. For fast moving things like Icehockey or other sports SDI is the way to go, to feed your viewfinder.
Here is an idea how you could design the replay window on the App
