XH-A1 New York Clip

A simple clip with a few quick and dirty cc's, plus a shot from Times Square.

I made it a 720p h.264 QT in order to post a longer piece with a feel for the motion and cc flexibility of the camera....

Hi Wes,

Yes, I shot and captured 24F live uncompressed signal to a Final Cut Pro workstation equipped with a Kona HD SDI capture card.

I performed a inverse telecine extraction on the footage...

Clip: XHA1 with new .8 Canon WA adapter

I think the camera was unfortunately dialed in with sharpness that needed to be taken down to compensate for some minor aliasing, but this will give a good idea of how nice the new adapter is for the...

Try shooting with the iris all the way open, no ND engaged, 1/60 or 1/30 shutter. (1/30 will look a bit slurry)

24F actually has a little more sensitivity too, if you don't mind the look of the...

Even cheaper, faster and smarter (for FCP at least) is "G Nicer" and "G Chroma sharpen" from Nattress. (www.nattress.com) Dropping HDV clips into a uncompressed or Sheer codec timeline and...

You can edit with it, but it doesn't have RT transitions and effects--at least in FCP. It does render fairly quickly for an HD codec, however.

It's basically uncompressed quality without the...

You need to insert pulldown frames in order to fill out the 30 fps. (29.97)

If you use FCP you can put your 720pN 24 sequence in a 29.97 timeline, and use the Nattress plug-in "Standards...

PhotoJPEG is an interesting codec. In my CU's, the clips would compress to a much lower bit rate, but in wide shots where I had a lot of dense fall colors and foliage and everything in sharp focus,...

Yes, 20x lens at F 2.8, and not zoomed all that much either (maybe 25-30% tele--I was pretty close to the subjects). Close to sunset conditions with ND still engaged. I wasn't using an external...

I have a Kona LH, but if you're getting one of the newer Macs with PCI Express, consider the Blackmagic HD Extreme card. Everything you need for a grand.

Yes, that's it. If your deliverable is something other than HDV it helps to preserve the best quality possible. (given you render and output in a better codec)
