Shooting Scarlet at 1K

[Coty James]

Does anyone know if shooting at 1K (120fps) on Scarlet will result in cropped sensor? If so... what would the factor be?

Thanks for any help.

Yes - cropped, not down-rezzed. Crop factor as compared to...? I believe if will be be a factor of about 4 as compared to 4K rez.

Has this feature been enabled? I can't find it

John, I'm not sure if it has been able. I'm still on the original firmware I got with the camera. Will update when the new version comes out in a week or two.

It has not yet been enabled.

There has been some discussion on other threads and outside the forum regarding the 2k 60fps being significantly softer with more noise than the 4K image. I don't know why this would be...it shouldn't be actually, but at least three separate tests seem to point to this. I hope that ultimately this is not true as it would most likely point to 1K being more than just cropped.

Well, you would expect it to have a similar amount of noise and sharpness as a 100% crop from 4K. But you would expect that 4K scaled down would look a lot better, because oversampling always reduces noise and can make the images look sharper.

I have heard that the RED ONE was somewhat noiser than a crop at 2K though, so if Scarlet and Epic are too then it's probably some kind of codec issue.
