HPX170 - A Second Look

Merci Dan,

Pana are using the pixel shifted to obtein a 1080p and they are doing all formats from there.
I hope they have put this 1080p at the SDI out, without any treatment.

Good question. According to the 170 owners manual, "HD: complies with SMPTE 292M, 296M and 299M"

According to Barry's book, the HD SDI will output at 720/50/60P or 1080/50/60i. There is no mention of 1080P output, which makes sense as DVCProHD does not support that format. Not sure why everyone seems to want to record formats that the DVCProHD format doesn't implement. If you must have pSF, buy an HDCAM. Does the EX1 output that format out of it's SDI output?

Neither source verifies 8-bit ot 10-bit or any other SDI options other than SDI Metadata and SDI EDH.

Best,

Dan

The SDI output is 8-bit data embedded in a 10-bit word. It is a full 1920x1080. But it's either 1080/60i (or 50i) or 720/60p (or 50p). If you're doing any other frame rate, it uses pulldown to pad the sequence out to comply with the broadcast standard of 60p/60i or 50p/50i.
 
Trouble with uploading Scene Files and frame rate hack

Trouble with uploading Scene Files and frame rate hack

Hello,

I'm not usually this dense, but I'm stumped on this one. I have a new 170 and am generally shooting in CINE V -- that's where it's set F5 on the SCENE FILE dial, but want to add some scene files. I have duped Barry's "FR.RATES" file and named it <SCENE2.TXT> and duped "EXTREMES" scene file and named it <SCENE3.TXT>. Copied to a SD card. In the camera CARD FUNCTIONS>SCENE FILES>YES, I can see these files:
FILE 1 NO FILE
FILE 2 FR.RATES
FILE 3 EXTREMES
FILE 4 NO FILE

Using FILE SELECT, I can toggle to SCENE FILE 3, work my way through and choose WRITE, and it does -- WRITE OK. But it doesn't change the results when I turn the SCENE FILE dial. One time it did, but I must have done something differently. I've been unable to get FR.RATES to work either.

I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Bradley
 
You wouldn't use "write", that saves your camera's scene files onto the SD card (thus overwriting the file on the card). Instead use "read".
