True Uncompressed HD from GY-HD100 at DVinfo.net

Daniel Behrman · February 21st, 2006, 10:06 AM

I am new to the whole realm of HD - I am currently shooting with an F900 at work, but I have a few projects of my own that I need a low cost HD solution for. I was considering getting the GY-HD100, but I recently was editing some HDV footage for a client, which require green screen. It wasn't horrible, but the edges resembled the same thing I would see when keying DV footage.

My question is this:
Since the GY-HD100 and the F900 both capture the actual image at 1920 by 1080 (yes i know the hd100 isn't truely that since it's anamorphic) - is there any way to extract the uncompressed data from the camera and record to another capture device - say an HD deck or straight to a hard drive in true uncompressed 4:2:2? i really dont mind the 150MB/s storeage requirements.

The image quality of the HDV cameras I have worked with is GREAT, but its the microscopic artifacts that the compression ads that can really screw me up!

Hi Daniel,

First I'd like to bring to light that the HD-100 is not 1920x1080, it is 1280x720P. Second, to answer your question about 422, yes their is 1280x720p @ 60fps 422 out of the component jacks on the camera. Third, greenscreen work with the HD-100's HDV has been really good (not as good as 422 but still very good). What keyer are you planning on using?

I invite you to This thread to download a greenscreen m2t and try with your keyer.

good luck...
