GH2 HDMI captured footage

Yeah, and for the two Phil's, Henry's, and Roei's sake, too. :-)

Apologies if I've omitted anyone.

The author went a step further and allowed the original to be downloaded. Nevertheless, I don't know what value it serves to analyze MPEG2 stream coded from an interlaced input.
 
Am I the only one who thinks the original AVCHD file just looks like it has smoother motion? The HDMI capture has that funky pan/scan feel to it that makes me feel motion sick.

It might be the lossy compression that can smooth out more. Did you transcode the original 1080i60 to 1080p24? Can it be altered more smooth during the transcoding?

Henry, I think the GH2's are coming to the UK this week!

Thanks mate - love 24p though and would be way back in the pre-order line. Also wasn't there a delay to Jan/Feb for PAL? Or was that a bad rumour?

If by Monday next week no-one has done this test - my Japanese version one comes across from Japan and I will give a definitive answer. I am sure someone will have chimed in by then.

Yes, it's because the HDMI portions in that video have blended fields, but the GH2 portions were true 60i (60 fields per second)

I don't know if it's because of what he did in post with software, how the signal was interpreted, or if the signal is fubar in the first place

The blackmagic can capture 24psf, I think that would be of more interest to people here (i.e. can GH2 output a 24p signal through HDMI when recording 24p?)
 
"The HDMI live-view output is not suitable for recording use, using nanoFLASH or Ki pro, Ki pro mini, etc.. You will get one freezing image every 17 seconds. It happens because of the difference between 60 fps, which is the frame rate at which the sensor reads the light, and 59.94 fps, which is the frame rate of the HDMI output. This is the explanation I had from Panasonic.

"Although you can not use it for recording, I found it great that you can view the recording image at 1920 x 1080 resolution.The most beautiful thing about the new GH2 is that its image sensor reads at 60 fps. So, the 60i is a real 60(59.94)i and 60p, although at 1280 x 720, is a real 60(59.94)p. I am sure that you will do the slow motion by converting 60p to 30p soon, and you will see the difference. The 4/3 image sensor is smaller than EOS’s, but EOS’s image sensor can read only at 30fps."

capturing hdmi out is useless.

Let's say that claim is true...... How many scenes in a movie lasts more than 17 seconds? If this is the limitation for shooting movies....then use it accordingly. :)

,,,,but useless....I think not.
 
everybody is speculating,
i don't understand this guessing game w/o putting any footage out there.

show me "the 17th frame freeze" i'll believe u
that was a comment from P Bloom's blog.
