best settings for live capture EX-3
Hi All,
Here’s the questions
(1)
I’m live capturing of an EX-3 over an SDI straight into a Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme, the camera will be shooting 720 25p. What’s the best quality setting for this that I can handle with a 400mb/s raid, Prores HQ, 10-bit, 10bit 444 RGB? I’m a tad confused.(2)
What is the pixel dimension of HDTV 720 25p, apparently FCP is stating it’s square but is that true, I’m just a bit uncertain. Does it change with different codecs?(3)
Finally what are the benefits of square pixels as opposed to rectangles?Much Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Matt

best quality?
1280×720 10-bit uncompressedgreat quality at a reduced file size?
1280×720 ProRes HQ (it’s 10-bit only) -
Hi Matt,
I don’t think you will be able to capture 10b RGB. Files are bigger than 10b Unc.
i would go for Proress HQ.
Your capture preset must be 1280×720 Square pixes.
HD pixels are for DVCProHD and HDV.

Is it possible to live capture with an animation codec from the HD-SDI output of the EX-3?

No. You can capture to Uncompressed 10bit HD if you really want to. I would just capture to ProRes though.
