Speedgrade CS6 – A play around
Speedgrade CS6 – A play around:
Aside from the exciting changes in Premiere and After Effects, the biggest news to me was the inclusion of Speedgrade into the production suite and their product lineup. This once $15000 dollar grading platform is now within the reach of pretty much anyone with Adobe’s new monthly subscription service.

Can I use 8 bit to record S-Log? | XDCAM-USER.COM
Can I use 8 bit to record S-Log? | XDCAM-USER.COM:
My opinion is that while 8 bit, 422 can be used for S-Log, it is not something I would recommend. I’d rather use a cinegamma with 8 bit recording. 10 bit 422 S-log is another matter altogether, this is well worth using and works very well indeed. It’s not so much whether you use 444, 422 or maybe even 420, but the number of bits that you use to record your output.

NAB 2012 - Round Up
NAB 2012 - Round Up:
I suspected that this year's show wouldn't be as overloaded with new product as last year because most of the major players have already rolled out the flagships that will carry them for the next few years. I found this to be somewhat the case but not entirely as there were definitely a handful of "show stoppers" on display. The emphasis this year seemed to be much less on new, groundbreaking wares and more "this is what we're working with now, and here's how we can do it better."

Storage, asset management and archive. Where does it all go?
Storage, asset management and archive. Where does it all go?:
I’m guessing most people who know me or read Wide Open Camera’s blog were expecting that I would make a post on high-speed for me next entry. That will come at a later time but today’s post is on something fairly important that most of us don’t take seriously until its too late. What do I do with all my data? Clearly videotape is dead to 95% of the market if not more and file based workflows are where we have been for the past 5 years and into the future. So where do we put all that data? We used to pop a tape or film-stock masters on the shelf (ideally in a climate controlled vault) and knew that a decade later we could pull footage and have confidence that our art (or crap) was safe. That is not the case anymore.

Just about the time you have settled into your favorite 1080P camera and think all is well in the world... you look up and discover that 1080P is an obsolete format. Seemingly overnight (if you haven't really been paying attention). 4K (or greater) acquisition and 4K delivery are here. Up-rezzing 5 times is really not a good option.

NAB 2012 applause! Blackmagic’s cinema camera uses HFS+ formatting rather than weak FAT32
NAB 2012 applause! Blackmagic’s cinema camera uses HFS+ formatting rather than weak FAT32:
As some of my colleagues at ProVideo Coalition magazine have already reported, at NAB 2012, Blackmagic announced its first digital motion picture camera, officially known as the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. For US$2999, Blackmagic gives you the camera, a license of DaVinci Resolve (US$995 value) and a license of UltraScope (US$695 value). Supply your own Canon EF or Zeiss ZE lens and recording media. I applaud Blackmagic for making one of the two best possible decisions regarding the formatting used on the removable SSDs (solid state drives), and for using standard códecs/file formats. Unlike what many traditional photo and video camera manufacturers have chosen to implement (the weak FAT32), Blackmagic chose to use HFS+ (aka HFS Plus or Mac OS Extended). In this first look, I’ll review the differences and advantages of either HFS+ or UDF over FAT32, and point out some other details, i.e. the audio connections and file formats.

RED Dragon 6K sensor upgrade eyes-on
RED Dragon 6K sensor upgrade eyes-on:
"Obsolescence Obsolete" -- that's RED's tagline for the just-announced Dragon sensor upgrade, which is set to bring 6K resolution to EPIC and Scarlet cameras beginning later this year. The sensor module was on display at the company's NAB booth today, under a backlit case that could only have been designed to make photographing the new chip a near-impossible task. We did manage to snag a few frames of the device, which appears as a mere silhouette to the naked eye. Sensors aren't designed for us to look at, however -- they're supposed to do the looking -- so we won't get any more hung up on the presentation. Existing RED camera owners can look forward to an incredibly impressive 15+ stops of native dynamic range and up to 120 frames-per-second at resolutions up to 5K. And as we discovered earlier today, the upgrade will roll out to EPIC owners sometime in 2012 for $6,000 while Scarlet users will need to hang tight for a release date, and a price tag. That's all we've got as far as details go, so click on through the gallery below for a flashlight-enhanced peek at the Dragon.

REDray 4K cinema laser projector and player eyes-on
REDray 4K cinema laser projector and player eyes-on:
There's no better way to control the visual experience from shoot to show than to create the camera and the projector. That's likely the thinking behind the REDray, the 4K laser cinema projector making an appearance at the company's NAB booth today. The device supports 2D and passive 3D (up to 120fps in 3D mode), with 4K projection for each eye and has a rated laser life of over 25,000 hours.

Blackmagic Cinema Camera packs 'feature film' 2.5K quality, touchscreen for $2,995
Blackmagic Cinema Camera packs 'feature film' 2.5K quality, touchscreen for $2,995:
While Canon, Sony and Red have already stolen the show with new camera announcements here at NAB 2012, Blackmagic Design is trying to carve out a niche for its new Cinema Camera. Priced at $2,995, where the company sees this as differing from the competition is its ability to capture film quality video on its 2.5K sensor and output it to CinemaDNG RAW, ProRes and DNxHD file formats. That camera housing can take Canon or Zeiss lenses on the front, contains a built-in SSD within and has a capacitive touchscreen display for control and metadata entry. Once you've captured the video, the included copy of DaVinci Resolve can take care of all color correction needs, while the video can be pulled from the SSD over a variety of high speed ports including BNC SDI and Thunderbolt. Check out a few in-person pics in our gallery below and more specs in the press release after the break.

4K and the Future
4K and the Future:
NAB 2012 is just around the corner and it seems the buzz this year is going to be 4K. Last year it was 3D, and this year it’s 4K. RED has been there for a while and Jim Jannard has been calling 1080P a “mistake” for years. Now Sony and Canon are jumping on board and others are sure to get into it too.
So then does this mean that 4K is the future, or in fact if the cameras are here now – is it the present?
The answer to both questions is yes! And also no.

Digital Dailies The Race to Good Enough « Cinema Editors:
Granted, I can’t remember a time when our industry wasn’t hell bent on faster, better, cheaper, but this is the first I can recall such a willful disregard of tried and tested gear, pipelines and people. Since the advent of high-end digital cameras, we’ve all been so wooed and mesmerized by the look and quality of the RED, Sony F35, and ALEXA cameras, but managing the data, processing it and coloring it has been a struggle ever since.

ToolsOnAir, Vidispine, Object Matrix and Archiware have formed the Open
Workflow Network, a group addressing the movement of the broadcast
industry towards open, interoperable, cost-effective systems.
| The group believes that there has been a recent shift in the broadcast industry from proprietary and closed hardware platforms to more open, generic, often software or IT based systems. The shift may be due to a more frequent need to deliver to new channels and devices, increased interactions between audiences and content creators, and the need generally to be able to respond faster and more effectively to these changes. | |

One of my favorite aspects of the job is getting involved with "look creation". Working with the DP and Director, the D.I.T. (if equipped with the proper tools) has the ability to previsualize the final look of a project right from the set, in real-time. All one needs to accomplish this is the ability to build what I like to refer to as "creative LUTs". Again, a LUT (Look Up Table) is simply an image transform saved as a simple text file. And it looks just like this:
