  • 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 :)

Interlaced

From day one: (actually from day minus one) - we don't do standard def, we don't do interlace.

Damn, what can I shoot the video look on then?? I guess the SCARLET isn't for me then...
 
Interlaced is not a cinema thing, its a broadcast thing. I believe REDs decision was based on the cinema aspect, hence: Digital Cinema Cameras. :)

I mean, if you really, really wanted it, you could shoot 60p and interlace it right?

Yeah Im sure you could in post. But if someone had to send a live feed interlaced, there would have to be some kind of conversion somewhere, like a breakout box. (man that seems so counter-productive lol)
 
No, it's because interlace is woefully in-efficient analogue compression that should have been ditched way back when TV went digital / HD. It serves no useful purpose in modern video other than to add artifacts and a sense of "backwards compatibility" that as noted above can be achieved by shooting 60p 360degree shutter and post-interlacing.

Was just curious. Because many tv productions is shooting interlaced, and i am going to use the scarlet allot in tv production. But question answered, thanks!

With Scarlet you can shoot 60p to get the same temporal resolution that you'll get when you shoot 60i. This way you have the best source-material for tv, because you can create a 720p60 and a 1080i60 version without loosing on one of both formats (as you would if you shoot in one of them directly).
 
From someone who constantly works with broadcast content re-purposed for the web, please don't shoot interlaced. If you ever want to make money on your product in the future, you will be grateful for this. Keep a progressive master in the library. I can't begin to tell you how many films, tv shows, specials, etc. don't make it to the likes of Netflix, iTunes, etc. due to the fact that all that remains is an improperly created interlaced file or tape "master". It gets rejected from the services and the product goes to die, even some of the good stuff. Besides, interlaced broadcast should (hopefully) be dead in the next few years, and you'll want the highest quality image, I'm sure.

and for PAL TV countries where 25 fps is the go, you'd shoot 50p right? Still 360 degree shutter for that?
 
Yes, 50p for "PAL" countries. I do worry about shooting 60hz based frame rates (30p, 60p) in general though as they never convert that well to either film rate (24p) or PAL country rate (25p / 50p). If you do shoot 50p or 60p with 360 shutter, one thing you can do is drop every other frame and get normal 180 shutter looking 25p and 30p though.

I'm just hoping that it does 1440. :emote_happyhappy:
