#EDITREADY TRANSCODED GH5 FOOTAGE DARKER UPDATE#
As of yesterday, there is another option of 4k 10-bit with good DR available: the Micro Studio 4k got a firmware update and now allegedly holds 13 stops as well.

Pocket ProRes (which is 10-bit 422 with up to 13 stops DR) looked better than RAW (too many artifacts). It seems as if stretching 8-bit LOG (at least that without HLG-mode) to 2020 values will result in banding and posterisation (by which I mean colors in the upper midtones are noticeably thin). Van Hurkman does say that HDR was no excuse for buying a new camera, as long as it could record LOG, but this is probably true if you have an Alexa, an Epic or at least an Ursa sitting on your shelf. Monitoring is one nightmare, recording the other. Raising the brightness (and power consumption) of TVs won't prevent that. He will either freeze to death, drown or will be eaten by CGI wolves on a boat in the streets of Manhattan. You can't, of course, make your own stuff futureproof with technique, but only with content.Īccording to Stephen Hawking, he isn't.

But the day may come when some couch potato says, why do they still broadcast all this dull SDR stuff ?!!? For early adopters (consumers or producers) HDR stands out without such direct comparison. With the resolution race, new standards had to be sold by proving how poor the lower resolution looked in comparison. This kind of answers my repeated questions how 709 video would look on an HDR TV: more or less the same as on an SDR TVs, probably with better blacks. And hurry, before Wolfcrow changes his mind about the topic and does just that! jonpais, will you report on your Atomos experiences? You could write, edit and sell your own E-book about HDR. I think that those who followed it have a deeper understanding and a better overview by now. This thread turned out to be an HDR seminar. I do hear a difference between, say, Alex Jones and John Oliver. Seven hundred and nine? Or seven o nine? Then for my foreigners' ears it almost sounds like someone from the very distant future:īecause english is not my native language, I couldn't tell. If I recall correctly, it's a broad enough color space for 1080p, whereas 609 was okay for 640i, 2020 being appropriate for 2160p and above (afaik it also includes at least 10bit, HFR and HDR).
