For the love of God, nobody give them an HVX. We need at least a fighting chance in this damned contest...:)

LOL!

Mac, for this contest which requires H264 MOV files for online viewing. An HVX's extra resolution won't be helping you very much. You can get as pretty of an image for the contest files from a DVX.
 
definitely can get a pretty image with the DVX but, for film's life after this
fest would benefit from the extra res.

Quick! Someone rent the HVX's in the area for the month of January! I keed!

You know, I was going to suggest asking the DVXUsers if they had an HVX you could use, but after seeing what other people have to say, it probably won't happen... :cheesy:
 
If I had an HVX it would definitely find it's way into Mac's hands
for some magic action.

Oh wait... that sounds super ghAy

Maybe, but coming from dvcpro HD, you get 4.4.4 color space at SD resolution, plus much less noise, and extra resolution in case of reframing needs. ;D

It's 4:2:2 colorspace, and I do agree, that has HUGE perks, especially if you like to work a lot of magic in post-prod.

Are we talking about turning a HD project to SD with color space conversion ?

yes.

I've also noticed that shooting in 1080x1280 on the HVX (given that the chips are only 540x960) also comes out to about 4:4:4 color resolution.
 
Not to jack this thread, but if the colors are sampled 2 pixels at a time, then they are sampled 2 at a time, right? Downconverting to SD doesn't magically make every color get its own pixel for sampling. Or, if it did, it still has to go off of the 4:2:2 sample that the camera gave it. Right?

I have heard this 4:4:4 downconvert thing, but never heard the reasoning behind it explained thoroughly.

Perhaps 4:4:4"ish" would be more accurate when talking about downconvert.

Ughh, I guess we need to all go (or at least I do) read the article on color sampling again that Barry recently posted.

Take care,
Jason
