hdcam sr 444 master
Has anyone done any tape layoffs to hdcam sr or hdcam via the mac resolve? I’m will be making hdcam sr 444 and hdcam masters very soon. That will wrap my first full length feature on the mac resolve.. Red camera 4k / 3k conform, 2k di color correction and layoff to hdcam sr master’s.

BMD post has HDCAM SR and most project are laid off to tape. No issues expected as we have been running it for months now.

Not to hi-jack the thread… but I’m curious what the potential use of a 4:4:4 joined cut master is. We’ve been making and delivering them as they have become something of a standard requirement in the delivery spec… but once out – what would a distributor use the 4:4:4 master for? Anything they release is likely going to be 4:2:2 and need the conversion anyway – or – you could put YUV (pardon my abbreviation) in a 4:4:4 recording, but really what’s the point.
So – now we have an RGB 4:4:4 master (with rec709 version of the grading LUT baked in) in rec709 colorspace in a video legal range. Where would one view this practically? Sure – it could be used to create a DCP (or anything else for that matter), but the rec709 space already hindered the potential of the DCP.
thinking out loud and sure I’m missing something…

Thanks peter.
Thats great news. How about power mastering from a 2k file to tape on the mac?
Anyone done this one yet?Darin

Its common for a grading facility to hand a 444 master to another facility to finish and in this case the higher the resolution, bit depth and color space the better.
444 archives on HDCAM SR is also pretty common.

Agree. Makes complete sense. I was more specifically inquiring about distributors. Hopefully they are not planning on changing the grade!
