Hello,

They used the 10-bit 4:2:2 HD-SDI output of the Sony camera and captured directly to harddrives using the DVCProHD codec, purposely by-passing the 8-bit 3:1:1 compression of Sony’s on-board camcorder.

The purpose was to get more information, and especially more shadow detail in the image. The reference monitors which they used on-set to evaluate that image were monitoring the 10-bit 4:2:2 output of the camera.

Is this what actually went to they’re harddrives? Or something way more compressed?

Thanks,
Chris

When you say which is better, do you mean which is less compressed onto tape?

– Less compressed to tape or better, this part of the question….

DVCPro HD is not 10bit, so do you mean capturing DVCPRO HD content to 10bit?

– Are you absolutely SURE about this…?

What flavor of DVCPRo HD 720p or 1080?

– I was told 1080p, however I suspect it’s 1080i, is 1080p even possible?

What codec are you planning on editing in?

– Final tape delivery to HDSR – 4:4:4

This is a MOTW type project. Not going back to film.

Ben,

To play back anamorphic video off a BetaSP deck you need to run it through a UFC or a ARC box. It’s a commonly requested format and done all the time.

I have never ever heard of “BlackBar” either.. Or that it’s ok to leave a dead girl in a frozen creek. But hey, your in Boston right? HaHa Wicked!! 😉

Cheers.

Hello Rick,

Grade in 709. Output to a D5 or HDSR. Then downconvert to SD.

The down-conversion out of the “HD” Deck will automatically convert to 601. (Component Cables). Or you can go through a format converter like a “Teranex or a Panasonic UFC 1800” to get to SD.

You will have to use a “Proc” to reset levels(ie.. black levels & bars), but it is not nearly as involved as going from Film Color space to P3 (Digital Cinema)or to HD 709, which is a completely different grade for each.

So the short answer is.. It’s basically automatic.
