  • 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 :)

EasyHDR on hold...

Does the software recordnice the two streams automatically or do you have to choose one stream first and then "find" the other one and choose it?
Or even better, does it show up as one file?

Just guessing here, of course, but they would/should have the same reel and clip name, but probably have a naming that doesn't conflict with A/B 3D shooting...
 
easyHDR seemed to me a more non-professional tool...
 
In a really dark scene, is it possible to flip the standard behavior to protect the deepest shadows instead of the highlights? Or am I not understanding correctly.

Please advise,

EPIC-X/M max HDRx™ frame rate is 5K at 48fps (or 60fps at 2.35:1). Since it uses twice the frames as normal, cut max rates in half.

Does this mean that HDRx on the Epic-S, which you said in another thread supported about half the data rate of M and X, will be limited to 24 fps at 5K and 30 fps at 5K 2.35:1?

How does this effect Scarlet fixed? As I understood Scarlet Fixed was only going to get eHDR™™™™™.

FWIW, I believe that is incorrect.

EDIT: Here is one of Jim's posts which indicates this...

We are increasing the number of boards and ASICs in Scarlet. It will be as capable as EPIC with regards to EasyHDR™™™™ and HDRx™™™™.

It doesn't specifically refer to the Fixed in this post but he does refer to it in other posts.

Hi
If you know, will Epic S do 25 fps HDRx™™?

This is a very important question for those of us in PAL land.

If we take it that the Epic-s does 1/2 of what the Epic x/m can re. frame rates then at full sensor area and rez we get a max of 48 fps and for HDRx 24fps.

I really hope this is not the case and I doubt it will be.

I was wondering the same thing, Michael.

My guess is that you could achieve that by simply using your primary exposure to safely protect your shadows / blacks. Then the additional HDR exposure would cover everything else.
 
Makes total sense. HDR is not a point-and-shoot toy under any circumstances.

Makes sense to me. I just can't wait to see it in use. I'm really curious how True Grit might've looked with it. I feel like Deakins (obviously one of the greatest of all time) might've overexposed a bit on purpose to go with what Conrad Hall did in some westerns (he mentions that idea in his blog), but those were some pretty high DR scenes to begin with, I think maxing out even low-contrast film stocks? (Anyone know what stock it was shot on?) I've heard he's experimenting with the Alexa for his new project. I can't imagine he won't be jumping on the Epic bandwagon once some more footage comes to light!
 
That make a lot of sense to me. I would think that anyone that would be using HDR would rather use HDRx to have that control. No sense in making it more complicated than it has to be.
 
This is good news.
I think eHDR would result in a lot of tears, by being set to too high a dynamic range. When a grade is applied, you'd be effectively throwing away your bit depth, resulting in a much inferior image, and people would point a finger at the camera. I'd imagine compression artifacts would become more evident.
