I am continuing a conversation started on instagram and was wondering if any SRW-9000PL owners could contribute.
It appears the SRW-1 has some sort of built in noise reduction filter it applies to footage. I do not have side by side currently but I am almost certain this is correct based on footage I have seen off of HDCAM Tapes out of SRW-1 and 9000PL. The footage lacks the dancing noise, usually seen in shadows of F35 footage.
It's not an issue of 10-bit or 12-bit or 422 or 444. The SRW-1 pulls the video signal from the exact same ports as Codex or 7Q so the processing is happening in SRW unit. I think long time external recorder users can agree there is always dancing grain to the F35 no matter how it is exposed.

These are the only possible mentions of it I could find in the manual.
Now I know there are lots of options in Post to clean up the image. NEAT Video works wonders. It is still interesting that some extra signal processing seems to be going on inside the SRW-1.
The 9000PL visually has the same processing. I know 9000PL users have claimed to have cleaner footage in the past also. My question is about the 9000PL 3G output, if you recorded this straight will it have the noise of F35 or clean up look of the SRW?
