From the Panasonic demo tape. 5X overcranking with Varicam and external software
In the original Varicam F demo tape and dvd, it has a section where it showed a balerina and different slow motion examples. The most extreme slow motion was accomplished using a software package. The voice over announcer mentioned that the 5x overcranking was accomplished using a computer with “XXXX” software. It sounded like Rave,Raze, or Raise.
Anyone know what software they were using? It went beyond what the Panasonic FRC could do.

Hi Ray;
In conversations about this subject yeras ago with the VariCam design folks, I was informed that Raze (SP?) was a software app that provided the inter frame interpolation and consequent frame rate doubling. It worked quite well… but Rayz (or whomever) was apparently acquired by Apple… this was in about 2002 / 2003. I have heard nothing about it ever since….

The software was originally written by a company out of LA, RFX. Rayz was bought up about the same time Apple bought up Shake and Rayz was killed off as to not compete or rather not make it’s way out to the open source community….very sad because it was a great piece of software.
Just a bit of Linux history.
