Hi,
I wanted to ask for oppinions about a hardwre / software solution (also beyond vvvv) that could be a good way to:
- trigger and synchronize 200-300 cameras (fullHD, movie-grade) for foto and optimaly also high speed video
To achieve that kind of matrix bullet time camera movement effect…
Of course it is absolutely priority to have a setup that doesnt require much maintenance every time.
So many consumer-grade DSLR or camera systems might be not suitable alone because of the fact that you have to switch them on manualy.
I remember the EOS DSLRs could have been controlled quite nicely but it kind of is eventuelly too much already, also even for a high budget 300 EOSs DSLRs are a bit much.
Then most of the web-cam would have not good enough image quality to fit the movie-grade quality requirement.
I was thinking about lower level hardware implementations with multiple sensors that are connected to ARM boards. That would be a light weight solution but obviously the hardest way to do it.
Also the less heavy PCs involved the better.
What would you do?
What are the maximum amount of cameras per PC that you have experienced?
