TRIBE7 SLATE
SLATE is a compact programmable 7.5″ clapperboard with an 800 x 480 resolution black & white E-Paper screen that has a 1.66 aspect ratio. It also has black & white sticks & it comes with a carry pouch.
SLATE is quite unique as it was designed to be a reusable, digitally reconfigurable clapperboard that requires no charging or external power to operate.
The whole concept behind SLATE was to blend old technology with new technology. By doing this you can pay homage to honour the traditional process of ‘Slating a take’ with sticks that clap & being able to physically write on it, with the added benefit of enhancing the flexibility & ease of use by utilizing E-paper display technology.
SLATE was designed for a lifetime of use, both on & off set. It is manufactured out of tough ABS polymer with a hard-coated anti-glare screen. It is self-powered so no batteries, USB charging, or power cables are required. As it is self-powered it is always on standby, ready for programming. An internal Lithium battery supports programming for >7 years with typical use.
How do you use the SLATE?
You need to physically write your scene, take & camera settings directly on SLATE with a dry-wipe marker pen. You can then wipe off & re-apply to make a change, just like a traditional clapperboard. Even erasable liquid chalk markers can be used for a more retro look. SLATE was designed for environmentally-friendly cleaning. Only water & a microfibre cloth are needed to return your SLATE to its original condition.
You only need to re-program your SLATE template when changing production, location, or application.
