BMD BRaw for EVA1

Looks like the EVA1 is going to get BMD’s BRaw recording using their new Video Assist 5-inch and 7-inch Monitor recorders, both have daylight viewing capability with high Nit screens. This gives EVA1 shooters a choice between the new BRaw codec and ProRes Raw. It will be interesting to see how this works out.
Cheers
 
Note that both B-RAW and ProRes RAW have announced support in Premiere and Avid Media Composer. So lots of support options now for EVA1 RAW.

Hi Mitch, does it look the new Video Assist models will get support for the S1H?

Thanks!

I can't speak to such developments for the S1H. Not that I'm not willing to share, just that because the S1H is part of our Consumer Division I honestly don't know.

That's interesting. I noticed that the S1H is listed in the banner on the Panasonic Cinema Camera Global website beside the Varicams and the EVA so I thought you guys were getting more tightly integrated. It will interesting to see what your colleagues come up with for the S1H.

Thanks!
 
Hello there Mitch,

I've been having a serious doubt about these new Blackmagic Recorders regarding the Eva1.

Do you think these new recorders will have 5.7K RAW from an Eva1 like the atomos shogun or do you think it will be limited to 4K?

Thanks mate!
 
@Raphael, Blackmagic products are not very good in my opinion. If I recall, there was some latency issues on their recorders compared to O7Q+ and Shogun
 
The new Video Assists 12G are completely different than the original VAs, which had several issues. The advantage of the new VA over the Atomos is you can record BRaw with the new VAs. The Atomos only records ProRes Raw, so the choice becomes more of which codec you want/need.
Cheers

Just to clarify things a bit the O7Q does NOT record ProRes RAW. It has lots of wonderful features like supersampled HD from 4K but CD appears to no longer be updating the 7Q line making future ProRes RAW unlikely.
 
Thanks, fixed my post, Does the O7Q record raw CDNG then? I thought it did some type of raw recording?
Cheers

We are absolutely working together more closely on a great many things, but I'm still not at the same place that I am with the cameras I have been directly dealing with for some time.

They will absolutely do 5.7K30p RAW as well as 4K60p RAW. I believe they will also do 2K240p RAW but need to confirm this.

While you're asking, can you ask them to support variable frame rates? The Atomos products don't support the EVA1's VFR function, they only support the default frame rates (23.98/24/25/29.97/50/59.94)
