    I’m using the AJ-HDX 400 on Friday in the UK.
    Shooting interlace, production team want a TV gamma that can be tweaked a little in post, not the full cine gamma treatment.

    Which gamma or other settings should I use?
    Are the menue and gamma functions similar to Varicam?

    cheers

    Hello Mike:

    The AJ-HDX400 features some Cine-Gamma modes, but these do not include the “FILM REC” mode of the VariCam. The 400 uses a menu structure much like the SDX900, as such it’s “Film-Like” modes look great, plently of control over master gamma, the knee, colourimtery, detail etc. With these you should be capable of building a very nice look, if required, even quite filmic. You should be able to get quite close to the desired look “in camera”, then just fine-finish in post.

    Good shooting,

    Thanks Steve.
    I’ll refer to SDX900 references rather than the Varicam film rec
    Sounds straight forward.

    Look forward to using the combination of 12bit AD and 4:2:2!

    best
