I’m confused. Why should a 1/3″ CCD prosumer camera produce a better picture than a full size 2/3″ CCD pro camera?
I’d be curious to how close the HVX is in picture quality though. I plan on using the HVX for the same thing, shooting in DV50 and outputting to Beta sp.

thanks, so for sending uncompressed signals. but isn’t the data speed of firewire actually faster? 400mbs?

what is the sdi capability good for? hd?

But I don’t know about that “not the most hospitable place” stuff. If telling folks the unvarnished truth — rather than what they want to hear — is not being hospitable, then I guess it’s so.

that’s what you think? telling someone to shoot on film is the “unvarnished truth”? Jesus Christ, this place is dinosaur lounge.

24p simulates the look of film.
but the best thing is get the software called magic bullet. it will give you all the film look you can handle.sorry for the snide remarks. this particular forum is not the most hospitable place in cyberspace.

i think adam wilt was saying that beta cam sp produces an image that for the sake of comparison only, that though it’s analog, were it digital, it would be roughly equivalent (note the qualifier “would be”) to a digital image sampled at 3:1:1.
I got confused when one of our camera operators began insisting that betacam was 4:2:2. he backed his argument up with some highly technical gobbledigook. i think i should fire the camera operator. i came here for clarification.

I don’t know where adam wilt gets his “philosophies” either but they don’t hand out degrees from Princeton to every Tom Dick and Harry. So I’m much less inclined to dismiss his ideas.

no time for providing info to others but plenty of time for nasty sarcasm. I like your priorities.

here’s adam wilt’s take:
Chroma resolution on BetaSP is essentially the same as on 4:1:1 DV, so were BetaSP a digital format, its sampling might be characterized as 3:1:1 for comparison purposes. Of course, BetaSP is not sampled on a fixed spatial grid, so such numerical comparisions should always be taken with a grain of salt.

If I’m not mistaken though, people like adam wilt refer to betacam sp as the “equivalent” of 3:1:1.
