![]() ![]() Sony’s X-OCN codec is a compressed RAW format. EditReady- Color AwarenessĮditReady now offers full Sony support and it will work with both Sony RAW and X-OCN files. You can also generate sidecars containing all your custom elements, which will be processed automatically by iconik’s Storage Gateway app. In Hedge, you can now automatically add metadata to all your iconik assets. Hedge now integrates with iconik, and EditReady features a new color pipeline as well as Sony RAW and X-OCN support. (Please note, this is still pre-release firmware and might not be 100% representative of the final image quality).New versions of Hedge and EditReady have been released. A standard UHS-I 95MB/s SanDisk card was used without issues, as the data rate in H.265 is quite a bit more relaxed compared to 400Mbit/s ALL-I.Ī great feature and I am going to bring you some actual 5K footage soon, once I’ve finished on the edit! ![]() It’s easy to convert the files to 5K 10bit ProRes for smooth editing, by using EditReady 2 just as with the Samsung NX1 and I had no compatibility problems in post, apart from VLC Player struggling to preview the H.265 files directly from the SD card. The H.265 codec also seems to hold up incredibly well. So to wrap up, the 4:3 mode can be used as a legitimate 5K 16×9 video mode with continuous recording and I didn’t experience any over heating problems on the first day of shooting with it. ![]() 60p and 50p are available in anamorphic mode as well, but only at the lower resolution and bit-depth (3328 x 2496 8bit). ![]() So remember to go into the System Frequency menu to get the frame rate you need. Go 60hz NTSC and you get 29.97p and 23.98p respectively. In 24hz (Cinema) mode, you get 5K at 24p. To use this high resolution anamorphic 4:3 mode as a normal 16:9 video mode, simply use a normal lens, keep the anamorphic de-squeeze display off and turn on the crop marks for 16×9, as shown below…Ī range of frame rates are offered in this mode too… but the ones you will see in the anamorphic menu depends on the System Frequency you set the camera to. Vertically you have an extra 1584, because the open gate recording uses the entire Micro Four Thirds sensor from top to bottom. Horizontally you have an extra 1152 pixels to play with over Ultra HD for re-framing and cropping. Even just taken horizontally, 5K is a nice upgrade from 4K in terms of resolution and you can oversample a 4K image from the 5K files in post for the ultimate in fine detail and minimised noise grain. That’s 18MP in total, up from 8MP in Ultra HD 4K mode, that is a very significant opening up of the sensor. We call this kind of recording mode “Open gate” like on the Alexa XT, because it exposes the entire surface area of the imager. For the first time I have the ability to re-frame without ever dropping below 4K resolution, to cut things out of the shot that you don’t want like markers in a VFX shot or the occasional boom mic! I can do vertical pan-and-scans in post as well and re-frame to the cows come home. Here is a full 4992 x 2808 frame grab from one of my files (click for full size version) – The cherry on top? I could reframe the shot vertically to get rid of unwanted objects at the top or bottom of the original frame, or to improve the positioning of the camera. Placed on a 16:9 timeline in Adobe Premiere, I got 4992 x 2808 10bit with fine detail that had me rubbing my eyes in disbelief. The great thing about this is that you just turn on crop marks for 16:9 and use it like a normal video mode.īecause the recordings are 4992 x 3744, this gives you some interesting possibilities compared to Ultra HD at 3840 x 2160… An anamorphic lens can be used to stretch this to a cinema-friendly aspect ratio. You get a 4:3 image as if shooting a still. This uses the entire sensor with no crop. The key to all this is the new anamorphic “Open Gate” mode. They did not scrimp on the bitrate either, which is a very nice 200Mbit/s and 10bit. On the Panasonic GH5 the new firmware update 2.0 gives us the use of the very efficient H.265 codec for this. Until now we have had cameras that do a 5K or even 6K sensor readout but never one that writes such high resolution directly to the memory card. With the new firmware 2.0 update, the Panasonic GH5 becomes the first 5K 10bit H.265 mirrorless camera, and you don’t even need an anamorphic lens to join the party.ĥK anyone? Well, Panasonic have delivered and it is in H.265. ![]()
