The Update Thread

[Mark L. Pederson]

LMAO. Well played Mr. Land.

I made the mistake of asking Jarred once if Helium was stable

 

[Wayne Morellini]

Any helium pocket glimpses Jarred?

 

[Anton Shavlik]

The current working ProRes output to 2K is a scaled 2K, correct? So even if shooting 6K on a Weapon or 5K on a Scarlet-W, it is scaling (and not cropping) to 2K for ProRes... is that correct?

The 4K ProRes image he showed did say 24 FPS in the corner. So the question is whether that was scaling from 8K to 4K ProRes at 24FPS or from something less... like 7K or as Samir mentioned, 7.5K WS.

(Never mind, that 24FPS in that corner is just the Project Frame Rate)

Though that 24FPS wasn't in verispeed

After this Pic, Jarred, please, please please give us A heads up if we want to go Weapon Helium if we need and should update to Weapon magnesium before the 11th. To go 8K , specially for motorsport I can't really go back to slow frame rates...

 

[John Brennick]

Hey Jarred,

Since the Helium is so much better in low light, and after playing with all of the frames that Erich has posted I'm noticing that even above 3200 seemed pretty darn useable! Will the new firmware with the Epic-W and Weapon Helium allow for higher ISO in camera? I noticed that the latest firmware stops at 3200 I believe... Maybe I'm mistaken. Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere. Thanks for all of the bits of info you're throwing our way!

I'm using them every day and they are awesome. Still months of testing left on them though...

 

[Michael Reiken]

Thanks Jarred for the pic - sure do love the slim profile of those v-mounts, will be great for handheld and gimbal work.

 

[Kenneth C Merrill]

Though that 24FPS wasn't in verispeed

Varispeed jusy means the project frame rate is set to something other than what the camera is shooting at the moment. You can set the project frame rate to 24 even if the max frame rate you can shoot is 12fps.

I called it. There's no way they would eat into the Weapon Helium 8K.

 

[Anton Shavlik]

Sure, but the pic of the prores option had audio metering instead of verispeed at 24fps. Might have been at 6k, who knows.

After that and the 'not a chance' comment I'd place bets on it being 12fps @8k though.

 

[Josh Becker]

Man, that would be a bummer. I was excited after seeing the 4K ProRes but if it can't do 24fps in 8K, I think I'll stay Scarlet-W.

 

[Jarred Land]

12FPS at 8K... 9:1 compression. My guess is that is the limit for 8K (though still hopeful for more). Although he clearly is in photo mode at 1/144.

Sure... you can have a little more.

 

[Josh Becker]

Oh jarred you tease

 

[Brody_B]

Its set at DC2 and RG4. Wonder if the new color science will be released with Epic-W/Weapon Helium come Oct 11

 

[Brody_B]

Man, that would be a bummer. I was excited after seeing the 4K ProRes but if it can't do 24fps in 8K, I think I'll stay Scarlet-W.

I guess thats what the extra $15k gets you

 

[Kenneth C Merrill]

Gah! i can't handle the teasing!

 

[Jerrin Uecker]

Jarred, Christmas is less then 3 months away! That forged CF plate would look good in my stocking...

 

[Andy Roberts]

Sure... you can have a little more.

Thanks Jarred! Very cool.

 

[Anton Shavlik]

I'm almost afraid to ever check this thread again.

 

[Chris McKechnie]

Sure... you can have a little more.

Oh...I'm guessing there is a lot more in there somewhere..it is the Epic-Weapon

 

[Jarred Land]

Oh...I'm guessing there is a lot more in there somewhere..it is the Epic-Weapon

Ok, Ok. You win.

 

[Anton Shavlik]

I guess one more check was worth it.
