Thank you, thats interesting, so is it correct to say then that MAYA is kinda the industry standard for 3d character animation?

I totally agree, 1080 will be here for a long time.

I have delivered several cinema productions to theaters and the cinemas I know all broadcast at 2k, even 4k films are down scaled to 2k. 2k is basically the same as 1080.

“I really dont see the benefit in a camera that shoots 4k but has a h264 or h265 format. I would prefer 1080 uncompressed (needless to say, to anything I prefer 4k uncompressed of course)”.

A good production shot and edited 1080p will still look very good on a 4k screen. Many movies are filmed in 4k but edited in 2k (almost 1080).

NIKON is the king (if this is for real), the first uncompressed 1080p video through hdmi to an external HD (I will use a terabite).

Exactly what I was looking for. For this price its the very best available. color spacing of 4.2.2 uncompressed. Man for me this is great, half the price of the scarlet.

Thank you very much for the information on the Nikons…. great for any cinematographer!

thx, I am not shooting this production as yet, will be soon though.

Was thinking of buying a new cam, like the scarlet. Thought a dslr would be a great option if not for the format. It is way less expensive then the scarlet and has the cinematic look as well, opposed to normal video cams.

I was hoping o fix the depth of field by using good lights and a high aperture setting.

I love the HDSR look but I really dislike the H264, can hardly do any color correction without distortion.

[Adeeb Oberoi]

Yep looks like, no free lunch, I tried all the cams you suggested in different production shoots, all are fine. Even tried the Red Cam which is of course super for post (Raw Red files).

I just love the dslr look and they are in expensive, seems that they purposely use h264, if they had a raw format… pfffff, would be super.

Thank you,

Pro res is OK as long as its not H264 (the dslr camera format).

Will the signal written to the external HD by pass the cam sensor? Or will it just convert the h264 to pro res (that will not be any better then).

Seems all dslr have the h264 sensor how ever expensive the cam is h264 is actually a consumers format and this is the only reason I cant use dslr because of chroma key projects and color correction (h264 is a weak format for good color correction).

DSLR are super great for the rest, if only I could get a better format recorded.

Greetings and thx for the response

Thanks you, will these give me an un-compressed format?

I am trying to get a better quality then h264 for color correction and chroma key filming.

Thanks, but the download link on the site doesnt work unfortunately.
