How to aspect ratio on Scarlet ???

 

[Alonzo Von Threet]

I guessing there isn't anyway to change it on the Scarlet.

the Director says it is on an Epic.

Do you mean setting up frame lines or do you mean changing the aspect ratio of the recording?

If you're using anamorphics and want Ana mode in camera (desqueezed footage), that's only on the Epic. But, if you have external monitoring, you could change the A/R there - at least the Director/Clients (etc) will get to see the correct A/R on their monitors.

He means change the resolution but keep the same aspect ratio. He wants to change the Scarlet from 1:1but same res.

I'm assuming you are attempting for a WS format (2.37:1) which is not on the Scarlet at higher resolutions, but is on the Epic. What you can do is create a frame guide for that though and record in whatever format you'd like with that guide enabled. As mentioned ANA is not on there.

The Scarlet's "full" resolutions are 1.9:1 (such as 4K or 3K for instance). When you see the "HD" designation after the format that's a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, or more commonly described as 16x9.

To change the resolution on the camera there is a menu on the top of the screen that informs you what format you're currently in. Either press that via the touch screen or select that via Side Handle or Redmote and choose the resolution you'd like to capture in.

Much thanks. So there is no other way to do it, which is what I was trying to explain to the director. Thanks again.
