PMW 350 BBC Settings

Post by glennpringle » April 28th, 2012, 7:11 pm

Hi,

I have been asked to set my PMW350 camera to BBC Settings for a particular assignment.

Normally I don't work with their 'Raven' ingest system but apparently there is a specific bunch of settings for that bit of kit which downconverts to SD.

I've been given them for a 500 but not the 350.

Anyone had experience of this with a 350.

Thanks,

Glenn

Took Alan Roberts news settings off BBC website and will try them out. Saved to an SD card along with Alisters scene files.

One thing I simply cant fathom is how to put an ident on the 350s bars???

Anyone know?

I don't think you can add an ident with the 320/350.

That's a shame. Always nice to have your name on the start of a rushes ingest but I can live without it.

Took the BBC settings from here

I will have to do some test shooting to see how they work out before I go off on the assignment. I'm also trying your settings as well Alister as I think they've probably had a lot more 'real world' experimentation to arrive at the end results.

I'm just about to upgrade to firmware to v1.3 and see what effect that has.
