Genie feature upgrades are coming!…

Lately we’ve been getting out of the office a fair bit to test out the latest features being added into the new firmware for the Genie. This has been top of our priorities for quite some time now and it’s taken a little longer than we anticipated. This morning we tested our new infrared emitter which works with Sony NEX ‘mirrorless’ cameras among others. Since these cameras don’t have a remote input for a link cable, the Syrp infrared cable can be plugged into the Genie instead and will fire the shutter via infrared, just like your TV remote. Those of you with a Sony NEX or similar camera that do not have a remote input will be all set with one of these. You can also use it with your Canon 5D mark II and other cameras that have infrared if you so desire. Other features we tested were HDR, Ease in / out and Auto start. All seemed to be working well with a few bugs that are being tidied up at the moment. We’re really close to releasing this as a beta version and hope to have made substantial progress by the end of the week. Stay tuned!

Testing HDR up the Remarkables.

Genie talks to Red Epic!

syrp — Fri, 31 May 2013 06:12:51 +0000

As some of you may know we are working tirelessly on getting the new firmware released. One of the compatibility add-ons is with Red Epic. Yesterday we spent the day testing the Genie with the Epic using our custom cable that is currently in the prototyping phase (thanks to Tim Pierce for letting us use his brand new Epic!) – we managed to get it working in no time. For those of you who own a Red Epic and would like to use it for time lapse then you can easily set it up to receive an external trigger and take 1 frame on command from the Genie. The Red will compile the frames for you so you will be left with a compiled motion controlled time-lapse clip straight onto your card which is nice for your post production workflow. We will be manufacturing the cables and will have them available on our website soon, in the mean time we’ll have a handful of cables available soon so if you are interested then drop us a line!
