John KerrPres. Marc then introduced our always better programs by asking newer member John Kerr for his craft talk. John moved from Texas at the age of two; raised in California and graduating from Corona del Mar High School and UC Irvine was proud to say both his daughter and son also attended Corona del Mar High School.PsiTech has developed the Sirocco Digital Video System and other leading Edge products for the high-speed digital capture, storage and display of images. Recording of long duration events is a particular strength of the Sirocco system. The Sirocco operates at speeds of 250 to 4000 fps (frames per second) of high-resolution imagery. It can broadcast a real time signal using slower speed and varying resolution standards including High Definition.
;)
Two Sirocco systems were used for the recent Return to Flight Discovery Space Shuttle Launch, each capturing approximately 400,000 images over 12 minutes. Other applications include Entertainment HD, Theatrical, Special Effects, Slow Motion Sports High Definition Broadcasting, ballistics testing and other Security and military needs.
Another great program with video for all to understand by one of our very own members...
Special thanks To Bob Wood for tonight's photography;
Your scribe for the evening, Dick Dickson
