16 and artifacting

[Dj Joofa]

RC36 doesn't help... The following was shot at RC36.

Since RedCode is a compressed format you will always be able to find scenes that have such/similar compression artifacts. RedCode's is using a little over 1 bit per sample, which is okay. Something in the range of 2-3 bits per sample may be more helpful here, but then the bitrate would increase.

You can record REDCODE 36 to the 8GB CF as well as to RED-DRIVE. So no quality difference, unless you try REDCODE 36 at 4K 16:9.

Then yes, RED-DRIVE has the quality advantage as CF can only support REDCODE 28 at 4K 16:9.

Only problem is with Build 15 you can run into codec errors when using the combination of Redcode 36, 4K 16x9 during complex detailed shots. I've only experienced it a couple of times, but one of those times was when panning from a tree to a valley below.

With the improvements in Build 16 on the horizon, I think we just have to accept this as a temporary inconvenience. This hasn't happened enough for me to call it a showstopper.

Sorry to disagree... REDCODE 36 is better than REDCODE 28 in Build 15. Shoot the same exact scene in both and you WILL see a difference. There is still an issue with REDCODE 36, but it is not as bad as 28.

I didn't say there is no difference Jim. I only said that even with RC36 you can have the same problem with scenes with a lot of trees (or any other subject with a lot of details).

But fear not, Build 16 will calm your nerves.

What i have learned so far with the RED adventure is that as long as you are in charge i have nothing to fear.

Hi Stuart,
Can we record REDCODE 36 at 4K 16:9 to CF with Build 16.

Thanks

Thanks Stuart, that's what I thought. All good!!

Unfortunately, no. The CF write speed didn't increase....
