ATOMOS Subforum?

Alister Chapman · December 11th, 2011, 10:17 AM

Most cameras have some grain and noise. The F3 is very good, probably one of the quietest HD cameras around these days.

I had an H1, it is a great camera. Perhaps a little noisy by todays standards, but still a very capable camera. PC's can often end up looking noisy as there are all kinds of gamma changes and frame rate changes going on before the image makes it to the screen. A TV will very often have some kind of noise reduction circuit.

Heads up to those fellow Sony FS-100 owners out there. The Atomos Ninja WILL NOT currently work with the LANC OUT from the camera into the LANC IN on the Atomos Ninja! Hopefully Atomos is going to address this issue in the very near future.

On another note, the AJA KiPro Mini does work when slaved to the Sony FS-100's LANC OUT! It is interesting that if one delves deep into the Knowledge area on the Atomos website that they are aware of this issue and are asking Sony for guidance in alleviating the issue.

Kind of odd if you ask me. The AJA KiPro coupled with the Sony FS-100 see's the camera just fine and slaves properly in the Rec/Standby mode.

Anyone know what the difference is here? Meaning what different in the FS-100 LANC wise than other Sony camera,s?

In the case of the FS-100, why wouldn't you just use the HD-SDI as a trigger for the starting and stopping of the Samurai? I'd love this option but my camera doesn't support it, so I "have" to user the Lanc control. Is there a reason that you aren't utilizing this function?

Marty: FS100 doesn't have HD-SDI, only HDMI.

Marty Hudzik · December 14th, 2011, 11:46 AM

That's surprising to hear. I would have thought a camera of that caliber would have SDI out. Good to know. Edit: I just realized that he was referring to the Ninja which is HDMI only so I should have had a clue. Sorry.

VERY few sub $6k cameras have HD-SDI... I can only think of one.

Addendum: oops... Make that 2.

I guess that since the AF-100 has it I assumed it was on the fs-100 also. Good to know for future reference if I upgrade.

Does the Samurai have an option for pre-record buffer?

The website says 'ready to edit FCP7+. I suppose the files can easily be imported in FCP6, but just not be edited in the timleine straight from the device?

Shaun Roemich · December 17th, 2011, 08:56 PM

FCP 7 introduced ProRes LT. Perhaps that is the stipulation. I'm away from my edit bay right now so I can't test the files on my FCP 6 machine.

No, pre-record function is not an option. I suppose that could be added in a firmware update, would definitely be nice to have.
