4K 16:9 question

[wshultz]

I'm confused as to whether or 16:9 is actually implemented at the recording stage yet. If it is, I can't get it to work. If it isn't, well I guess it's not supposed to.

It appears to be recording but lower half of frames are always corrupt.

4k 16:9 is not supported RedAlert, Redline, and QT component yet.
Use Redcine to look at the files.

Thanks. I can see it now.

and further to the 16:9 question...

we are shooting some VFX tests tomorrow with build 15 - we probably want to shoot 4k 16:9 to CF @24 when we go into production - is there any chance that redcode36 will eventually be enabled to CF, or is it just too big?

just deciding whether to test at 2:1 redcode 36 to test for keying, or to stick with 28 as a test format...

thanks!

It's too much data for the CF cards at the moment.

What's the holdup on implementing 16:9 support through the entire post pipeline? It's been months...

Answered the same question today in another thread... A complete rewrite of the core code is required for the tools not supporting 4k 16:9.

"is required" implies that the work has not yet started...has it?

 

[Deanan]

The rewrite started a while back.

Thanks, thats what I thought.

we ended up shooting 2:1 redcode36 to redDrive, as the flash cards weren't fast enough for 2:1 redcode36 either -even after the format down/format up trick.

just our cards maybe?

What framerate?
