1080P Frames Rates?

[deadfred]

Hi Jim,

Any idea when these will be determined for R1 and future brains?

I can so use a 150 fps for 1080p or even 720p. 120fps is cutting me short. i'm very used to the 150fps especially when slowing normal runs.. 120fps still seems a little too fast for me.

I had this girl run on a beach.. and this other actor running on a balcony for a commercial.. they looked a little too fast.. I had to go for 150 fps arri for those shots.

I downrez to SD so anything goes for me.

I agree Akube - 120 is clearly faster then 150 to the eye, so a HS Arri is a better option. It's a shame to need to hire a totally diff package to get that extra speed.

Faster than 120 will never happen with the current R1 hardware. The Mysterium sensor has a max cycle rate of 120Hz.

Ahh.. too bad if it can't happen.

On the Spec sheet for the new brains, Jim lists the Red One as having the Mysterium sensor and a 1080p FPS - TBD. If it can't go faster then 120 why not just state the speed at 120? Maybe it's a labeling error?

Interesting catch. I'd like to know more about this as well.

I think it depends on how they achieve 1080p in-camera. If it's a cropped sensor area, which would be a bit smaller than the 2K 2:1 crop, 120fps should be possible. If they derive it by some sort of scaling from a larger area such as 3K or 4K sensor area, the FPS will be a lot lower.

IMO, I don't see any reason for the RED One to record 1080p. The 4xHD mode scales directly to 1080p and H proxies of that format play natively at 1080p. It would be nice to have 1080p monitoring / output while recording to 1080p, not just on playback.

I believe the mysterium x has asignificantly faster read-reset (i think i read 2x faster) than the current mysterium, which should mean the compression/processing of data could start earlier, and hence finish soon, and possibly lead to more frames per second getting processed. Who knows, i'll be waiting for Monstro

I think having a 1080p might give some benefits for those with a quick turn-around - read: ENG/Documentary, or where space is at a premium.
