Used the stock lens.

No 1/2″ or 2/3″ rig will give you 35mm DoF.
It’s not about the lens. It’s the chip size.

The letus gives you 35mm DoF because it’s projecting
the entire 35mm FoV onto your 1/3″ HVX chip. If you
somehow placed a 35mm lens in front of the HVX chip
by itself, it would magnify it 7x and still have no different
DoF than your stock lens.

The Red will give you 35mm Dof and something close
to 35mm resolution. It is not, by any stretch of the
imagination, a run-n-gun camera like the HVX or EX3.
Completely different animal.

[Will Griffith]

No.

However, there is a noticable difference coming from 1/3″
and will be closer to the 2/3″ f900, etc. you mentioned

I mixed some shots of Red and EX3 this week and depending
on the shot selection, they blended very well. I think this
is so because of the great dynamic range and sharpness of the
EX3, and there is just enough depth to bring things out of the
background on medium shots that would not with a HVX, H1, etc.

Here is a wide sample of the EX3 (forgive the H.264 and slow link).
Sample
– available light only
– strait off the SxS card to compressor (scaled down to 720p)

hope that helps

EX3 is very “Key Friendly”.
Enhanced dynamic range and 1/2″ chips
makes for a very nice, easy to key image
compared to other pro-sumer cams.
The edges are less pixelated than our
Canon H1, which is still a great camera for
this IMO.

You want to shoot 60p. You can play it at 23.98 for slow motion
or 60p for “real-time” speed.

On the EX1 you have to shoot in 720p to do this.

Or…if you need 1080 resolution then shot 60i and use optical flow
to slow it down.

I suggest doing a few tests to see what you like.

On the third HDMI cable and still no luck.

Weird thing is it worked once….then quit.
We converted a 30 minute show from DV to
BetaSP without a hiccup, and then just quick
recognizing again.

Really strange!

No insult taken. 🙂

It just isn’t showing up.

HDMI in and HDMI “Audio Input” are both selected in IOHD
control panel but have red bars and “No Video” next
to the input.

Don’t have a HDMI DVD player nearby, but we
are getting audio only thru HDMI from M25-U
Sony deck. Video reference light on front
of IO is sadly dark.

This would be VERY handy if it worked.

Version 6.0.1 as well.

[Will Griffith]

We are getting audio only thru HDMI with version 6.1.

No Video sync light. Flickers for a moment with deck power on and then
nothing.

How do you have the M25-U and IO set up?

thanks

I agree.

I hope Apple starts from scratch on FCP7 and makes better use
of their hardware. Compressor does well, but the rest lags
behind.

This new processor will be great for After Effects, etc. though.

[Will Griffith]

I agree. We have no problems here, and we put it on a separate
drive just to be careful.
