  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Dynamic Range...

Jim, " Take it to the limit " one more time that the song I will play in tomorrow gig. I sure you and your team is " Red Time Nio Limit " and so am I.

Cheers,
Stewart

I'm not at all sure what will happen tomorrow at ISO 16000, but it sure will be interesting to find out. I am sure we are in unchartered waters.

Who knew all that data was way way way down there???

Jim, you're going to have to install a massive pipe organ and learn to play that classic Bach piece the mad scientist plays in all those old movies! Throwing in of course, the occasional "Muah hah hah!" as the Mysterium continues to dive ever deeper!!
 
While this is huge news for anybody who has done doc work, I can't believe how little response (did i miss something?) there has been from the underwater community. Available light diving cinematography has surely got a new weapon (FYI I'm not a diver...yet).

As resolution drops precipitously at these ISO's, I love to see a two axis chart of iso/resolution. At what point is iso=2K, 720p, 480p...pixelvision.

Oh ya one more thing.
Can you guys generate this chart, not buy stopping down the lens, but by controlling the lights (many red scrims in hand). It would be great to remove diffraction issues which could interfere with the results; although noise seems to be the bigger issue. I'm still getting my head around this.
 
Go for it!

Go for it!

I am sure we are in unchartered waters.

That is where any true adventure begins!

Keep the throttle wide open. Now it gets fun. This is inspiring!

The Mysterium sensor is so mysterious. Did you happen to come across somebody who had one in the pipeline? Or did you inspire somebody to improve their previous work? Were you sure of Mysterium at the first NAB, or did you go out looking for somebody who could do this? Is Mysterium essentially one person's invention? And is it patented?

I don't blame you if you answer none of these questions, but I lie awake at night...
 
I remember in one of David Stumps tests, an image underexposed by 4 stops was brought back to life, albeit with some grain. This was last year.. I can only imagine what its like now.

ISO 16,000. Isn't that like, visible spectrum night vision? In-sane.

Technically, the resolution never really drops. The image detail just gets overpowered by noise. Film, on the other hand, truly does lose resolution, due to the coarser grain.
 
I think you understand what I mean. I'm trying to describe the "ability to resolve" at a given iso.
 
Just to remind everyone, this test was NOT done on an uncompressed clip, but REDCODE RAW on a flash card. To me, that's an even more important message.
