Omega Broadcast: F55 Swish Pans

Post by Omega Broadcast » February 28th, 2013, 12:11 am

This footage is 50mb/sec. Should be 422 8bit, 1920 x 1080 59.94. It shjould be like PMW-100/160/200 footage in terms of the codec. The F55 is touting a global shutter. Ingest and see for yourself.

We are taking footage / test requests. The R5 recorder (AXSR5) as well as media (AXS512S24),

This is a 90mb zipped file of the SXS card contents.

We got out a fan and attached a focus chart to it. There are four clips, shutter speed 4000, 2000, 500 and 120. This footage was recorded 50mb/sec to a SBS-16G1B (SXS-1) card. It should be 422 8bit, 1920 x 1080 59.94 and like PMW-100/160/200 footage in terms of the codec. HyperGamma 7, 3200k, ISO8000.

This is a 580mb zipped file of the SXS card contents.

This is S-Log2, ISO 1250, 1/48 shutter, 3200 degrees kelvin. The second shot has camera flashes so you can see how it handles that interference. This camera may not be used to shoot weddings, where camera flashes are prevalent, but red carpet premieres and other activities will have flashes. There is a black, white and grey card in the shot. It was recorded to a SXS Pro+ card and the file is 275mb.
