EVA1: Accurate V-Log-Exposure and Clipping values

[Erik Wittbusch]

Hi,

I found quite some Info on V-Log here:

http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/varicam/35/dl.html

But as this is for the Vaicam I wonder if these values are also valid for the EVA1.
Ultimately, I need the clipping value for setting the zebra according.

The Wihte Papaer from 2014 (!) says clipping on the Varicam 35 sets in at 911 (10bit Code).
Can you confirm this?

THX!

FYI:

The new official Panasonic AU-EVA1 Handbook states the EVA1 has 14 stops
instead of the Varicams 14,5 stops exposure latitude.

What does it mean?

Instead of 911 (10bit value) or 89% IRE it tops at approx. 877 (10bit value) or 85/86% IRE.
That's the theory.

My findings are, that the signal goes a little bit higher than that, but 85% IRE seems to be on the safe side if you want to avoid clipping in the highlights.

I hope this is useful for anybody looking for these numbers.
