Tyler,

Amazing work, man! ..... beautiful imagery and great camera work ... we spent all day yesterday playing with the EOS 1DMk IV but didn't shoot anything as exciting as you guys! .... it's not that I'm jealous or anything, just seem to have very strong green color cast over my face ... damn you!

If you're ever in West Hollywood, come in and see us .... we'd love to color grade your 1D Mk IV footage .... make it really pop.

In the meantime, keep up the great work ... and feel free to drop in any time you're flying over head ;-)

Cheers, mate.

Neil

Welcomed to Reduser, Tyler! It's great to have you here!

 

[Matthew Bennett]

Wow, 3200 ISO looks incredible, what a leap forward...
But those jaggy issues... oh it hurts my poor eyes. Why Canon why can't you bless us with a decently downsampled video mode? It must be seriously hard to do... it's almost like the noise cancelling dept. worked overtime on this new chip, and the downsampling department just phoned in and said... 'taking a bit of a leave...just go ahead and use the line skippers we did on the 5+7D"

Gorgeous pictures!!!

Next time get AJA KiPro Pro Res 4:2:2 rugged mobile recorder on your backpack,

connect it with Canon 1DMK4/5DMK2/7D

and record those low light gorgeous pictures without H264 and other artifacts.

Then you can get a quality that is almost the same as a 16mm fast film stock or even 35mm.

I'll try out a similar test recording with 7D HDMI out, BlackMagic Intensity Pro,

Magma Express Pro Box and MacBook Pro 17 " at the end of this week.

I just put your movie through Gen-Arts Film Effects plug in at Shake/FCP/AE/etc,... to see how it looks.

Again, bravo guys, you've made a gorgeous pictures!!!

You also have to remember that this video was compressed down for vimeo to 10,000 kbps H.264 720P and then vimeo compressed it down once again to 3,000 kbps H.264 720P....

The original looks much cleaner. Yes not perfect and still not as clean as Red RAW footage (for obvious reasons) but it's a WHOLE lot better than what you are watching on Vimeo.

If anyone would like to play with any of the uncompressed shots directly from the camera please let me know and I'll send you a direct link.

Thanks for the support everyone!

Tyler, the file that is available at Vimeo for direct download says: "1280x720, 156.43MB". Is this the 10,000kbps file?

Tyler,

I am waiting for my BM Intensity Pro card to ship during the week that I'm going to put in

Magma Express Pro external PCI-express enclosure box connected with

MacBook Pro to capture uncompressed 4:2:2 or ProRes 4:2:2.

But already there are experts that did it using Matrox MXO Mini as a HDMI capture bridge:

http://www.syndicate.se they are a sort of "magic wand" from Sweden>>>

The BNC-R mount on the modifed Canon 7D head in closeup.

Press release 2009-10-16

Syndicate are now able to capture 7D material uncompressed 4:2:2 onto a macbook pro 17" at any 7D frame rate.
The 60i HDMI stream is captured via a matrox box and then analyzed and post processed into clean progressive
frames at recorded frame rate trough a Syndicate proprietary software.
The service is available for all syndicate clients from this date.


Here is a large file for those of you who wants to touch the real 4:2:2 uncompressed>>>

Same as above in proress for faster download>>>

Hope that helps.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

But we are already there with a high quality recording (uncompressed 4:2:2) that you can shoot with vDSLR.

How?

That is all in detail described at some of the above post(s).

Now I played a bit with Swedish uncompressed files captured from 7D HDMI live feed and here are results (sorry but I have to show the full frames to convince you all):

This is a full HD uncompressed 1920x1080 upscaled from basic cropped file @ 1620x910 that captured from HDMI 7D live feed as you can see a part of recording red dot at the top right corner.

Here is 1920 x 800 cropped as a wide screen 1920 x 800 (like a wide screen Apple movie trailers) from the basic upscaled file.

Here is a bit simple graded file using GenArts Film Effects as a main out put file that can be print to film Kodak 2383.

Tyler, the file that is available at Vimeo for direct download says: "1280x720, 156.43MB". Is this the 10,000kbps file?

Hey Tom, yeah that was compressed to 10,000 kbps 720P from the original to upload easier to Vimeo.


Sanjin Jukic, I don't know how I've never heard of this... I'm looking into it right now, seems to good to be true haha but if it is true then that is incredible! Thanks for the heads up!

Tyler,

with this sort tricks we can get rid of H264, etc artifacts andget a real quality from those vDSLRs that can easily intercut with RED1 or whatever digital or film acquisition used in a production.

AsI said we are already there.

Also AJA KiPro is the best bet to capture HDMI from any source because it's totally mobile and rugged but I'll try with my 7D, BM IP, MBP and MEBP kit.

Stay tuned.

 

[Tyler Ginter]

Yes please keep me in the loop on this. My email is tylerginter@mac.com if you find anything out new on this workflow and have further samples. I'm guessing this also gets rid of the recording limit of 12 minutes... I'd love to see the rig all setup and the workflow involved. Next step is capturing RAW so we can tweak the white balance and push the exposure. Thanks for the heads up!

Tuned in...

I would but the card is going to be sent from Germany tomorror to me and a real time could be Thursday, Friday,...

to get in small test with my 2 cam rig (whisky is in works/drinking it right now and candles are waiting).

 

[Rick Darge]

WOW! Rockin the night footage! Great composition & rhythm. Welcome to RedCrack.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Welcome to RedCrack.

Richard you've nailed it now and it's even beyond that...

HDMI uncompressed 4:2:2 or ProRes 4:2:2 recording...

Just a gorgeous!!!

Even more like a right Christmas present!!!

Probably more than caviar and truffles...

 

[Rick Darge]

Sanjin, can you show us what you're talking about exactly? Is it a portable recorder that does 422? Price? Interested..

Rick,

there should be three variants right now and I listed by the price:

1. BM Intensity Pro card ($199) on a desktop or with Magma Express Pro to a laptop capture.

2. Matrox MXO Mini HDMI in that already tested by Syndicate.

3. AJA KiPro ProRes HDMI recorder that is fully mobile and rugged.

 

[Rick Darge]

How much does #3 cost?

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

How much does #3 cost?

Rick,

not so easy but if you have some jobs with it that's fine:
