[Graeme Nattress] “Perversely it could be lack of noise that’s the issue. Noise hides compression artifacts and 8bit banding. DVCproHD is pretty severe compression, more severe than DV and a lot lot more compressed than DV50. Compression can remove some of the natural noise that acts as dither to hid 8bit banding. Also, all these formats are more compressed in shadows than highlights, and that’s where banding is worst.”
Yep, we got rid of tape with hvx200, I hope Panny will dump “the more than decade old” dv(cprohd)-codec with next model. No vtr’s, no need for legacy codecs. Bring out eg. 10b-jpeg2000! At least for an option…
