Apple IPad
Hello,
I am a digital operator, I work for several photographers who have their own digital back and also for some digital capture enterprise.
The IPad has just been showed yesterday and I'm thinking about one App that I would love to see on this device, it would be great to see the pictures you've shot when you're tethered to a macbook pro or a mac pro, I mean just to do some things like checking the focus, tagging a picture,using the liveview, maybe crop or any functionality you could add...
It could be great because in lots of case, like when the photographer is holding the camera or when the camera is away, we already have dslr remote on the Iphone...for the dslr,
but nothing for phaseone digitalbacks.
I think it should come with a very very simple interface.
I suppose that the computer should process all the command which are done with the IPad.
I remember using a leaf digital back with something like a Palm, it was using bluetooth
and it was not too bad!
Hope you'll find an interest in what I decribe,
Thanks
Anthony

As Leaf already has that "leaf capture remote" running on an iPhone and Phase & Leaf are so close now... it should be possible to code a Capture One app for an iPad.
I'd buy one in a second if such an C1 app would be available.0 -
with his kind of app you could give the Ipad to the client, like you already can do with a macbook pro but in a very simple way and much more friendly UI. 0 -
Anthony,
If handing this device to a client is all you intend to do, there are already several VNC clients available on the iTunes App Store which will work for the intended purpose.0 -

Don't you have any ideas what this kind of tool could do for photographers? Handing the device to a client is one (good) point. But only one.
The Phase LCDs are completely useless for critical judgement of focussing, color, contrast... or even the entire motif (don't tell me you can tell a boy from a girl on that LCD).
For instance in the field an iPad could replace a Laptop and the mandatory bag containing additional batteries.
What about a rudimentary C1 software packed on a CF card with a little OS (to stick in the DB) and sending data wirless to an iPad? When SD cards are capable to do so why not CF cards? Or a kind of small adapter (with long life batteries) we could tether to via firewire that sends data to an iPad?
One of the core problems with MF DB is preview/review - in any kind you'd like to define "preview" and "review".
Unlike the former DBs that were lacking LCDs at all now DBs are "portable" (since 2005 or so). But the truth is only tethered the preview/review is really usable.
I don't know how all this can be done technically - I'm no technician nor do I really understand computers.
But I think you should appreciate any ideas and suggestions going in this direction... and please don't point us to put in a feature request - actually it's YOUR job to select good suggestions.
I found Anthonys suggestion a good one!
Don't get me wrong: I don't say when Apple announces an iPad on Monday that on Tuesday I want a stable coded app for that thing.
But it would be nice if someone of Phase would say that the shitty LCD is not the long term solution for Phase backs and that you are working on a serious solution for this definite shortcoming.
The iPad could help you - take this as the message...0 -
thowl,
The point wasn't missed, your enthusiasm wasn't overlooked. I was simply offering standing solutions for the future technology.0 -

Developing an iPhone/ iPad App is not a big issue. However the Leaf solution uses a "server" version of Leaf Capture that runs on the Mac and it does all the processing and sending of previews wirelessly to the iPhone/ iPod Touch.
This part does require quite a lot of work. At the moment it offers browsing and zooming only but the quality of the preview is by far the best you can get on any digital camera.

Maybe my reaction was a bit an exaggeration ... sorry then.
As to my "enthusisam" it has nothing to do with the iPad (I actually don't care about it) but with the prospect of a handy preview/review tool with little battery consumption...0 -

Thanks Yair!
Maybe not the perfect solution by now but if you say the preview is the best you can get it's obviously a good staring point for further development... no?
An iPad with OSX and firwire would be really nice... but a small device to tether to (via firewire) that sends data to an iPad would also be nice.
Anything smaller and lighter and less power consuming than a Macbook would be fine...0 -
Yair this is exactly what I was thinking about, but with an Ipad instead of the iphone or the ipod touch. With some enhancement it could be perfect.It's better than a screen on a rolling stand because it's wireless and because you can use it directly by touching it, if it's simple that's better because sometimes you have to be very fast and lots of photographer don't like to be focus ont the technical aspect except from image quality, so for them having to think about how make the whole thing working is is not an option.
Sorry for my english,
thanks,
Anthony0
