#apertus IRC Channel Logs

regarding the raw packing, one missed the point that there is no such thing as 4:2:2 RGB :)

and the last detail is bitdepth, with YCbCr 4:2:2 the usual external recorders handle 10bit nicely, so it averages at 20bit/pixel, but to be broadcast compatible, you cant use the bottom/top 4 codewords, so it is 19.98 bits effectively

gotta go to the post office

apart from the open source nature of the Axiom Beta ?

can bmd4k do 1080p120 if it does uhd@30? (bandwidth is same)

so that is the reason :)

:P

one of the most obvious ones falling into category of free choice what to do with the hardware

yes, the benefits of an open source product are profound

a combination of tv commercials and health and safety videos

to what gear currently?

I have four BMD cameras

same or diff?

same or diff ?

the 4 bmds

one 4k cam

do they output same color instantly or needs lot of tuning?

the 4k and 2.5k cams differ considerably in colour

then I use ffmpeg to transcode the footage to multiple versions, generally rec709 proxy, 2k prores and 4k prores

aquarat: to add to the free choice you also have a clear upgrade path and a lot of flexibility with the AXIOM

plus we support fair labour and green sustainable manufacturing, BMD probably manufactures in China where it is cheapest

yeah I don't get why companies like BMD and Canon don't open source their firmware

hehe :P

this irc client is running on a quad-core arm unit

well I already see the prime application for the AXIOM as on-set IRC chat platform :P

Looking at twitter, https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=apertus&src=typd the most mentionned article curently is this one : http://blog.planet5d.com/2014/09/magic-lantern-blackmagic-red-apertus-axiom/

gotta go

I need a quick text review

native English speakers would do fine I guess :)

se6astian: did you find someone?

bertl had a look

pmed you

I'll have a look if you want, Sebastian.

pmed you

not sure how to respond on the google doc chat - but it depends how informal se6astian wants it to read :P

"but feel €350 is too much of a commitment right now" - reads better, slightly less formal

yep, that reads ok

many thanks!

as this is fairly important, maybe it could go on the main 'story' page

Yeah if there is a way to put it on the main page I would recomment doing that. :)

I mean the tshirt/button designs

there is no designated "news" area on the frontpage, but thats what the update tab is for I guess

now time for bed :)

night

good niht

aombk: what do you mean?

no reference to anything, i just look into sensor manufacturers and their product lines

making larger sensors costs a lot more

aombk: Samsung have a 16 megapixel sensor in the Note 4. the sensor must be pretty small.

I would like to see a 35 mm option. I think the biggest one is ASP-C?

the axiom beta will have the same sensor dimensions as the filmstock used in most hollywood films

if by 35mm, you mean 35mm still photography... that's different :)

and vistavision is not often used for movies

they do much research

Calling it APS-C looks very confussing.

Q_, not really. your background is film?

Q_: that's correct, afaik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

intracube, i have seen this video yes the low noise at high gains is impressive

still FF (d)slr/vistavision: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VistaVision

and to clarify, the CMV12000 has 22.5x16.9mm sensitive area

movie film might historically have optical or magnetic sound area down one side

If you talk about 35 mm still photography, you're talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/135_film

now twice wikipedia came to the rescue, we should consider donating to their cause!

i do donate to wikipedia every month

:P

i see. yes, i was considering it too before i decided to do it
