komodo sdi recording

[David Elterman]

Hey everyone I'm new to red cameras and considering getting a komodo. Is it possible to record raw internally while sending 4k signal thru sdi to be also recorded externally? Im thinking it would be pretty trick to pair the komodo with a BM external recorder since it has mini xlr's with phantom power.

 

[Andreas Eymannsberger]

Don't know why it should not.

Komodo doesn't care what you are doing with the SDI signal out of the camera. And the SDI is working while recording, so?

 

[Phil Holland]

Yes. Komodo handles SDI out 4K or 2K while recording.

 

[Russ Fill]

Yes. Komodo handles SDI out 4K or 2K while recording.

Could you then record 4k 120 externally?

 

[Bob Gundu]

Could you then record 4k 120 externally?

Nope.

 

[Greg M]

Its definitely possible to record the SDI signal, but why?

Dailies, Video Village editing tasks, emergency backup, etc. Lots of reasons.

good point...
but I have all that in my .r3d
proxies on the server and linked to r3ds while LTO copies are being written all before the first editor arrives

That's your workflow and moderately mine most of the time as well.

It's pretty common on episodic and features to feed a signal to Video Village to slam into an edit to make sure things click before a card even leaves the camera. I'm not really into that, but it's been going on for many years now.

yep...we did it for years. Started from the video tap of our film camera into the old DV clamshells, think I still have one.
so glad we have evolved past all that
