The producer of the American Pie and Final Destination franchises developed a documentary with some filmmakers and they're using the HVX to shoot it. 200,000 air miles and 2 terabytes of data, so far.

The varicam only goes down to 4 FPS? You men the HVX can do something the VAricam cant?

 

[Brandon Rice]

The Varicam is an older camera, right?

 

[TimurCivan]

its older, but its a whole different class of camera.

HVX can shoot 1080, Varicam can't.

varicam has a film mode gamma curve, MUUUUUUUUUUCH better than HVX...

Interresting... and they're using the P2 Genie to offload :-D

 

[Kholi]

Correct. That's Filmstox project. Been on since about last year. Great guy!

it may not just be the gamma curve alone, it may just be that the 2/3" chips provide it with much more dynamic range with which the gamma curve can work with.

TLorenz,

Quit pimping P2Genie for Windows - that's totally my job. I mean, really!

P2Genie for Windows and Macintosh - it's RAD!
