welcome to my unboxing of a cable that I actually think is much
cooler than cameraman does this cable features red mirr technology so if you
guys have ever seen like a 30 40 50ft
HDMI cable in the past what you'll know about them is they're about this thick
around and not very flexible they're just absolutely ridiculous so what for
here let's come over to the camera for a second here so what professional video
guys use is typically HD SDI which has
much longer much more flexible cables um
however it's got more expensive capture cards that go with it and it's just
generally more expensive to use in general expensive cables all that so for
6 50 60 bucks I was able to get a redm
or HDMI cable these are directional mind you these have actual processing built
into to the heads on either end so that's what allows them to re that
impressive length with only 28 AWG wires
so you can see oh oh hold on hold on yeah obligatory iPhone size comparison
there you go so you can see how thick the cable is it's also much lighter
weight it's a huge risk uh so this is
from The Source TV no this is from the
video source so it's a huge risk to have some heavy huge cable hanging off of
this HDMI port right here on the camera if we want to capture video from it you
see it puts a lot of stress on the connector and that's extremely bad so by
having a lighter cable using this red mirror technology hoo-ha then what we
can do is we can anchor this somewhere way better than this like somewhere like
say for example here anchor this in place run it to the HDMI port and then
we can use cheaper HDMI in order to
Output our video and not worry about well expensive
SDI or causing all kinds of problems around the set because we'll have this
uh this cheaper and lighter weight cable
versus what we would have otherwise had so this will run to the other end to a
video capture machine that will have a couple of Blackmagic intensity Pro HDMI
capture cards that'll go into I don't know which of these is the input and
which of them the is the output yet but there you go so you can see it's labeled
directionally this is to the TV or the uh display device and this other end is
for the source and that way we can do a multi camera capture live
thing using only fairly inexpensive equipment I mean well all things
considered I mean these are you know only about 100 bucks each and the cables
about 50 bucks and well the camera is not cheap but it is what it is so thank
you for checking out my unboxing and first look at our redm HDMI cable don't
