EPIC News...

Not possible... frame rates are determined by vertical lines only.

Jim

thanks

Of course that makes sense... just being hopeful!

sneaky question: Is it possible to sync two epics (3d) without the I/O module.

warm regards

Wait, I am confused. Shouldn't this be by horizontal lines only? If it were controlled by vertical lines then the comment about chopping off the sides would allow a higher frame rate.

I would think that when a row is being read, it reads out the whole thing in parallel for speed purposes. Is this not the case? Is it shifted out?

I _THINK_ this means that you have to limit the number of lines (rows) that are read/reset on hte vertical axis.

IOW: You have to reduce the vertical dimension (scan fewer rows) to get teh framerate up, thus cropping the sides doesn't buy you anything.

(Similar to how the specifiying of "vertical lines of resolution" on CRT's could trip up some people's understanding of what was actually being discussed)

I'm really curious about stills mode framerates. I've never had any problem with 8fps on my DSLR, in fact 99.999% of the time (for me, I can't speak for full-time sports guys) 5fps would be plenty. But a little bit higher couldn't hurt!

Lee, I don't see any reason why stlls mode can't do the 120fps. From what we've heard stills mode just gives you a place to store different settings that can be accessed with a switch of a button.

[Roberto Lequeux]

Justin is right, you get no compromise at 120fps as long as you are happy with 1/120th of a second shutter. But I think Ketch was asking about under-crank options. Ketch?

I've been hoping for a setting on the RED ONE that allows us to shoot 2:35 at 4k (not 4.5k) in order to shoot higher frame rates, or at the very least to be able to shoot at a less compressed Redcode. (ex. 4096x1742 / RC 50, or 4096x1742 / 36fps)

I can't wait to take an Epic out into the desert with some explosives and full auto weapons. Fun times ahead.

There is no way for hoping 100fps 4K in the M-X ? If not, why? Maybe a thread i missed?

RED One doesn't have the internal processing power or bandwidth to handle it. Have to get an Epic...

Thanks, back to my reading
