The DIT BOX is a collaborative design between credited Digital Imaging Technician, Chris Bolton, & Upgrade Innovations. The DIT BOX has a pull out machined internal frame that hard mounts the essential DIT components needed to do up to four camera live grading. For a list of the components, see below.
The lightweight Pelican Air 1535 is modified with a rear back panel to accommodate 24 x Neutrik D-Series connectors and a 120mm silent fan. The DIT BOX is powered by a custom Cramped Attic 24 volt power distribution module with separate 20V and 12V kill switches and fan controller. With a primary and secondary 24V input, swap power inputs without components losing power.
The modified Pelican case also features a removable top lid, removable BNC panel cover for transport and side and front mounted cheese plates with ARRI 3/8-16″ and SmallHD 1/4-20″ Pin-Loc patterns for mounting accessories.
The Laptop Tray mounts to the DIT BOX laptop brackets to securely mount a 13″, 15″ or 16″ Macbook Pro. Optional accessories for the Laptop Tray are available for mounting to baby pin with a spigot adapter with our Quick Release VESA plate.
The base of the DIT BOX features a bottom bracket for mounting the included non-twist spigot adapter, a Ronford Baker QR plate or the Upgrade Innovations QR VESA Plate. The DIT BOX base is equipped with longer feet to rest properly with a QRP plate mounted underneath.
