Gary,

Thanks again for setting my mind at ease.

Gary,
Thank you for your response. The advantages you listed are the reasons why I purchased the KiPro. I thought it would compliment the EX3 nicley.

Although I did not phrase it very well, my question was more specific. I was referring to the advantages of 10bit (ProResHQ) vs. 8bit (100/mb Long GOP). It has been stated, by very knowledgeable people, that ProRes will actually add NOISE to the EX3 footage due to the high signal to noise ratio. It was also stated that you would need a camera with 60db or above to benefit from 10bit recordings; the EX3 is at 54db.

You may be saying to yourself, why don’t you test it yourself you lazy bum. I have tested it using the difference blending mode in FCP and I did not see any “new” noise. However, I am aware that my monitor (apple cinema display) may not be the most accurate representation of the image.

Does this make any sense to you and have you encountered a scenario where ProResHQ added noise to footage such as an EX3/1?

Thank you for your time,
Daniel

Gary, thank you for the timely response. Got any predictions as to what the next generation of DSLR’s will be capable of? I currently use an EX3 with my KI Pro. Excellent PQ, however, I would like to have a smaller b-camera.
Also, I’m not able to attend NAB this year. Will your behind the scenes article be posted online?

Thanks, Daniel
