    Varicam Firmware Suggestions

    Hi, I've been with my LT for almost a year now and would like to make a few suggestions for firmware. It seems most of the new firm ware updates are for Documentary and Broadcast, and a little light on the cinema/narrative side of things. These are some things I feel narrative shooters might...

    VaricamLT: Strange Texture Image Artifacts. 4k 422 5000ISO

    Hey guys, I was just pixel peeping some footage for a recent shoot that we want to get printed. There is some really weird blocking image that I haven't seen in other frames (maybe never zoomed so close). Is this normal? The following clip only has 2 nodes in resolve so far. A denoiser...

    Varicam LT IR pollution - Clean Blacks.

    I hear what you guys are saying. But with proper IR filtration I'm thinking you can shoot under any light source and not have contamination. Which is basically a documentary shooter's dream. Here is a quick test I did tonight with and without the SO 680 cut, at WB 3200K preset, 24fps...

    Poor performance from Varicam LT at ISO 5000 using AVC Intra-LT codec

    Hi guys, While we are on the subject of 5000 ISO and gaining down, I found a scene from Master of None that feel like they were gained up. Grabs are from Master of None, Ep.5 at around 8:00 in. I haven't yet trained my eye to identify the grain textures at the different ISOs, but these clips...

    Speed booster for the LT?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if the LT could be speed boosted w/ something like a metabones adapted build for the EF mount? Maybe metabones could be cajoled into producing something for the user community? -Alex
