2/ Is there any samples of DNGS from the camera so I can see what the footage grades like? You tube doesn't quite do the footage justice.
Here is some footage from aaronkondziela:

http://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=271.msg2206#msg22064/ After the camera has been triggered- say for the 5 secs it records, with a very fast SD card, how long wouldI be expected to wait for 5 secs of 1080p DNGs to copy over? I know you guys may not have the camera, but someone who has the older camera kind of know- is the expected wait going very painful? will it 30 sec's or many minutes?
If saving the whole 5 seconds, it will take more than half an hour to save the entire buffer of a 16GB camera. The Chronos 1.4 saves 1280x1024 CinemaDNG files at about 3-4fps, and RAW 12-bit packed format at 4-5 fps. If saving in RAW 12-bit packed, the file will be 3/4 the size of either CinemaDNG, and the file can be converted to a set of DNGs using our python script:

You can come back to the camera after it's done and save more regions too.
5/ I know there is some talk in some posts about a micro 4/3rds mount, is this available, or do I need to adapt from c-mount somehow? I would be keen to use a 0.64x metabones with canon full frame glass. What exactly is c-mount? an old screw in mount?
7/ Does anyone make a cage for this to mount accessories?
We don't have an accessory cage or micro 4/3 mount or adapter available at this point. C-mount is a screw in mount.
Nikon1 seems to know a lot about lenses, so he may be able to help.

http://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?topic=97.msg802#msg8026/ What output is available for monitoring with an external screen? There's HDMI- but what does this output? 1080p? The screen on the back is not enough res to really work and focus easily.
Video output is 1080p if the display supports it, or 720p if not.
