(The 60% is by comparison with Quad-HD - 3840 - 70% is by comparison to 4096, which the C300 chip is capable of.) Many cameras over the last few years have claimed "1080 recording" but have not been able to manage 1920x1080 resolution (eg the HVX200 with 960x540 chips, and res of about 1150x650). Should it have been the case that if "true 1080" couldn't have been achieved everybody should have just stayed with SD in the meantime? I don't think so. In this case, a 60-70% res increase per axis over 1080 seems well worth the effort - even if it's not the full 100-110% that "true 4k" would achieve. And the reason for ending up with a 4k raster recording (as opposed to a 3.2k recording) is that the chip deBayers easily to that resolution, no downscaling is needed, and it ends up a common standard. Hence the reason for "plonking the 3.2k into the 4k bucket" as you put it. Very similar reasoning to the design of the HVX200 and the choice of 960x540 chips. Easy processing to a "1080 bucket", even with the pixel shift. |

Re: Big announcement coming for PMWF3???
The C300 only has 3840 pixel horizontally. Hence 80% is 3072. Good lord. Take your shifting goal posts elsewhere please.
If you think something that could resolve 3K with a very strong tail wind is suitable for 4K, good luck to you. I'm going shooting.

Similar story vertically. The total number is 2340, and the expectation is that 2304 would be active in 4k mode, as opposed to 2160 as used in the C300. |
