The SD-Controller in the mkIII is Limited to 20Mb/s, so... There is no readon for such adapters

well done. enjoyed it. good work!

Give me three weeks and you will all be very happy people

we´ll

Hey guys,

I think there is a much simpler solution to do this with off-the-shelf parts. 

There is a CF to IDE adapter manufactured by Fabia Tech in Taiwan that basically exposes a standard 40 pin IDE connector at the end of a "dummy" CF card:

It seems to be rebranded by ES&S Cable in Europe:

but I haven't found any US resellers.


You can then use a standard 40 pin cable to connect it to this SATA device to IDE host controller adapter manufactured by Lycom:

It's rebranded by Rosewill in the US:

And seems to be also available from ES&S Cable in Europe:
http://www.esskabel.de/adapter/datasheet/ada-sata-ii-ide40-ly/1

The spec says it supports ATA UDMA mode up to 150MB/s.  The SATA side will not be a problem, as it's much much faster.

You should then be able to use any SATA SSD drive, though you'll need to supply external power to it.

I am not sure how much the CF-IDE adapter costs, but it seems to be all passive electronics - just a wire mapping.  So, I can't imagine it being too pricey.  So, without the SSD and the power supply, I am guessing it's less than $50 to try out.

Hope this helps!

Why look into an IDE interface, with a maximum transfer speed of 163mb/s?

Real 163 MB would be amazing. 2880*1280 is realistic for this write speed. but i think there are so many other bottlenecks to solve in these constructions.  i am a little anxious about all this.

BMCC4k has super 35 sensor, not FF

You´re right. i´ve never been so wrong

I personally don't own a BMC, I do own a 5d3. So as it stands, the BMCC would be a few thousand more.
The BMCC also doesn't take photos, my 5D3 does.
The BMCC does NOT have a full frame sensor my 5d3 does. I'm just saying

BMPC 4K has FF Sensor and Global Shutter...
but ur´re right. the 5d3 is a allrounder now

I can do this

Pete, can you please post some pictures and benchmarks? Thanks!

I wanna see too

i just got on funny idea. don't take it serious..... What if we can record directly to DDR3 RAM.. just kidding.


I real like what´s going on these days here. And if somebody needs some rendering, i can do this 4 you awesome guys. And at least because so many people working at similar projects, it would be fine to connect and swop some ideas and experiences. Together it would be awesome to get the kickstarted project done.

I hadn't seen your design. Looks pretty cool.
We're going for a slightly different approach with a smaller all-in-one box with removable batteries

so would you use 1,8" SSDs or 2.5" Ones?

i think 1.8" would be better with my design. but 2.5" are cheaper in fact of Gb/$

I think placing the SSD under the Battery Slot of the Camera and powering both, SSD and Camera with the same PowerPack would be the best solution.

i also thought a solution as battery grip isn´t optimal, so i designed some SSD housing that is directly connected to the Rig Rails. A Battery Pack (10Ah), that is powering both, camera and SSD (or some other stuff on the Rig) is (in my mind) the best solution.

if you did not saw my rendering yet:

I did some little 3D Rendering, how SSD Hardware for DSLR could look like in future

EDIT by SDX: use appropriate image sizes.
EDIT by heavy grafiX: Thanks!

Hi Guys,

in thanks what the Magic Lantern Team did for us in the last weeks, I did some little 3D Rendering, how SSD Hardware for DSLR could look like in future
So for now this is a Mockup, nothing real.




Have a nice day!
Rudi

Hi,

today i found this on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Speed-1200X-Professional-Memory/dp/B007TM5DGI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_7

with 699 bucks its high priced and i am not sure, if 160MB/s is really reachable.
instead i hope you guys will get the CF2SSD Concept useable.
