Blackmagic Design Production Camera 4K Camcorder

Product Information

Yes, we want to do this. A large part of the work has been completed so I don't believe this will be a big effort to implement. However, it is very unlikely that we will support deleting of clips directly in camera due to the risk of media fragmentation. I just wanted to give everyone the heads up about PNY drives and the BMCC. The XLR8 480gb drives seem to have changed, but are still being sold in the same box! It doesn’t take much preparation or setup to start capturing solid footage with this camera, which is a huge plus for people working in situations where time is of the essence. In “Film” mode, which is the other capture option, the full dynamic range from the camera’s image sensor is recorded (as with most RAW formats), so there’s much more information available in the clips when it comes to post-production/color correction — which is especially important when it comes to adjusting the highlights and shadows of the images. When shooting 4K, focusing becomes more critical than ever, whether your output is to the Internet or to the big screen. The focus button on the upper right of the rear panel does a good job at giving you peaking information. It toggles the feature on or off but does not give the user any other control over intensity, color or range. We found that it worked very well to keep all of our shots in focus. New Sensor

The camera features a 6G-SDI connector that allows single-cable 4K transfer. It also includes a Thunderbolt connector and a LANC connector for controlling record, stop, focus and iris settings, remotely. Apologies if this is better suited for the Resolve subforum, but I am a little confused about color space and gamma settings for BMP4K Film mode footage in Resolve. The naming conventions for IDTs/LUTs/transforms/etc seem somewhat inconsistent. That said, if you opt for the Production Camera 4K you should expect two things. The first is that you'll get some wonderful 4K footage in bright light, with tons of resolution, minimal rolling shutter, and a flat profile that's easy to grade. The other thing you should expect is a series of headaches, as the poor battery life and abysmal low-light shooting preclude pretty much any kind of run-and-gun work.The fact that this camera is most frequently being tested against models from other manufacturers that retail — on the low side — at three or four times the price of the Production Camera 4K speaks volumes. While the ergonomics of this camera (which is clearly made to sit on a tripod, though not impossible to work with hand-held) might be off-putting to some DSLR filmmakers looking to shoot in 4K for the first time, the quality of the footage and the accessibility of the design/interfaces (coupled with the price, of course) will make it hard to resist. The original 2.5K camera had fundamental architectural differences in firmware compared to the other cameras which doubled the effort when trying to do any bug fixes or add new features to the cameras. As such, we knew we had to re-architect the firmware so as to bring it up to speed with the current cameras. This is not simple and taking longer than we thought. However, we are close now, close enough that beta versions have been seeded to some users for the past few months.

So I guess the forum done its job eh? Helped me and others who may have the sandisk II and with no help from BMD or indeed you managed to find out the thing works Other Interface: 2.5mm LANC for remote control; Thunderbolt port for capture of HD video and audio; USB 2.0 mini-B port for software updates and configuration Soon Sony will drop AVCHD for video in their cameras like a bag of fermenting potato and replace it with cameras shooting in the XAVC S codec, and the better model shooting in undiluted XAVC. So yes, use the GH4 for HD video, but don't expect it to deliver much when you are switching it over to 4K mode.Ethernet supports 10/100/1000 BaseT. Allows direct connection between panel and chassis, or vianetwork.

The global shutter means it captures the entire frame at the same moment, rather than reading the sensor one line at a time - avoiding the distorted verticals that can occur with fast moving subjects or whip pans. Eager to get a feel for the quality of the 4K footage as soon as possible, we set the camera up pointing down from our office — 21 floors up in the Empire State Building — toward the intersection of 34th Street and 5th Avenue.
