Epic SDI out debayer quality

[Eric Haase]

There has been some discussion in the forum about recording Epic's SDI out with a KiPro mini or similar device. The following question has been asked in several threads and I have not yet found the answer:

What is the debayer quality of the 1080 SDI out on the Epic?

Thanks,

Eric

no one knows the answer to this? Is there someone from RED that might be able to comment? I think it would be useful information for a lot of people.

Thanks!

Is there someone at ReD I can contact directly to get an answer to this question? Just want to make sure I contact the right person.

Thanks,

Eric

My guess is that Stuart English would be the guy to answer this question.

Yes Deanan said it is full debayer sdi out on epic.

 

[M.Halsell]

Is this true for all resolutions or just 5K?

 

[Deanan]

SDI out is full debayer. Scaling options will be added soon that enable more options.

Playback is not currently full.

Just out of curiousity, what is the SDI feed looking like for Scarlet? Full debayer at 4K -> 1080p? What about the other resolutions QHD, 3K?

Same for all formats on scarlet also.

hoorah !

 

[Bob Gundu]

Promising. I'll assume that the HDMI also gets the same output?

correct.

 

[Jacques Mersereau]

Same for all formats on scarlet also.

So, just to confirm, the EPIC and SCARLET HD-SDI output is what:

1) Resolution(s)
2) Format 1080Psf or 7020P@? or true 1080P@?
2) Bit depth - 8bit , 8bit inside 10bit file or a full 10 bit?

This info is much appreciated and required for many who hope to purchase.

1) 720p or 1080p
2) progressive, PsF and i are not supported
3) 10-bit 4:2:2

 

[Jacques Mersereau]

Thanks Alex. Good to know!

 

[Colin Hubick]

This may be a long shot, but does the meta data flow through HD-SDI when playing back similar when it's recording?

I have not had the opportunity to actually deal with TRUE 1080P@24 that EPIC/SCARLET outputs.
My Canon XL-H1 has canon's flavor (probably Psf) and the EX3's we use at work are Psf.

Question: How do broadcast monitors like the JVC, Panasonic or Transvideo deal with it?
In other words, does your normal HDSDI monitor work okay with Red's true 24P?

It does if your monitor supports that resoloution
