Thanks Jenn for taking care of this -- much appreciated!

The 50i movie sample looks really good from FCP 4.5 going out to my Sony PVM-14M4U. I am very curious to see how well the 24p sample looks if it is indeed higher resolution.

Bring on the clowns...

25P footage now posted.

Cheers!

Simon.

Oh no! Not the clown! Where did you get that eerie chap?

The clown was sitting in the window of a nearby charity shop for a number of months before being sold.

It was later discovered our rentals dept technical manager had purchased the clown because of his colourful nature.

The clown is now an integral part of our test bay and takes up 2 rack units next to the waveform and vectorscope :o)

Cheers!

Simon.

Thanks for posting the footage. How is the clown lit?

As nice as that clown is, I wonder if you might take the camera out on the street and show us a bit of your corner of London in daylight.

It's curious that Canon, which obviously had lots of PR ready to go on the announcement, didn't have its own footage ready to show on the Web.

The clown reminds me of the old BBC test screen, that used to come on every so often during the 80's... I'm sure that was your intention?

When is the Canon Test Footage gonna be posted?

weird server?
 

Hello. Im very excited about the new xl2 like everyone else and I've tried to download the videos several times but it stops and says it's finished at 40 - 45 megs.
It would be very nice if somebody could put them up on another server that works.

I got 9 frame grabs of the film noir scene set up at DVexpo but I got no place to put them. Chris, is it alright if I send you the pics and you put them on Dvinfo.net?

Mark, put up your frame grabs here.....

Daniel, can I call you pixelmagic as a nickname on these forums?LOL just kidding.


I tried putting them on photobucket, but they dont allow you to submit Tiff files and I dont wanna put them up as jpegs.
