GH2-X QUANTUM
*UPDATED 1/4/11
FEATURES
HIGH BITRATE INTRA SLOW MOTION:
-~5 seconds burst at 60 fps 1920x540 Intra FSH (for any size 95MB/s, ~3 sec for Sandisk 30MB/s) **
-Continuous recording at 50 fps 1920x540 Intra FSH **
-Continuous recording H setting for 720 60fps (uses more efficient P frames to keep I frames at 220 bytes in 3GOP) **
-Continuous recording L setting for 1080p 30fps [80% vari mode] (600 bytes per frame) (also longer 24p storage option)**
-AQ4 Intra at 1920x540
-225 bytes per frame at 60fps **
-260 bytes per frame at 50fps **
**On deathchart (Pappasarts)
DESCRIPTION
This firmware is intended for use with 1080 60i/50i in manual movie mode (720p for 60fps continuous). It includes Driftwood's Quantum 1080 24p, allowing the highest quality possible on the GH2 at all framerates. It allows high bitrate intra slow motion to be recorded to high quality class 10 sd cards. This is a half vertical resolution slow motion mode (such as the F65'S 4k x 1k). To use the 60fps footage in a CS5.5 24p timeline, simply place the clip on the timeline and enter a speed of 40%. Premiere automatically uses the fields progressively in the ideal way (don't alter de-interlace setting).
FRAMERATE GUIDE
60 FPS
-1080 60i, FSH: Intra burst, 225 bytes
-720 60p, SH: 3Gop burst, P frames like I frames, 225 bytes (recommended to use 60i instead)
-720 60p, H: 3Gop continuous, 220 bytes
-1080 60i, FH: Do not use
50 FPS
-1080 50i, FSH: Intra continuous, 260 bytes
-720 50p, SH: Intra burst, 260 bytes (recommended to use 50i instead)
-720 50p, H:Do not use
-1080 50i, FH:Do not use
30 FPS
-1080 30p, L: Intra continuous, 600 bytes
-1080 30p, H: Intra burst, 780 bytes
****For ETC Users: the continuous settings become burst: 60p-4sec, 50i-7sec, 30p-20sec)
CARD GUIDE
You cannot use any less than Sandisk 30MB/s or 95MB/s. It has been tuned specifically for these fast cards, and will not work on others (tested).
