HPX300 wth AVCINTRA announced

im curious what you mean by that. To me it looks doubtful that the 300 viewfinder will fit on the HPX500. It would be amazing if it did, but I'm not getting my hopes up (I bought a vf20wb too)

The 300's viewfinder is not removable, it's hardwired to the camera, so no it won't fit on anything else.

They may make some other LCOS viewfinder that can be interchanged, but you aren't going to use the 300's viewfinder on any other camera.
 
Thank you for sharing Andy.
Taxi shot is very clean. Did you use -3db gain?
the boat sequence is more grainy. Did you use 0db gain?
Night shot are clean too.

I'm just comparing your footage with 1440x1080 hvx200 sequence on my 24" broadcast monitor. That's night and day.

This new camera is very exciting. Hope we can find 1/3" relay soon.
sorry for my poor english.
 
I am cs4 user,but not P2 cards,so ı am not used to this p2 viewer software.Even i download thep2 viewer and the drivers ı can not see these files neither with p2 viewer nor on any cs4 applications?
Does anyone have any idea?

Sorry for the confusing link.. scroll down the page and click on "Download with FileFactory Basic" this will allow you to start download. I would post it on my own site but I was afraid of having to much bandwidth usage.

Good call. All of the footage is shot at 0db, except that one boat shot which is +3db.

How does one view the clips, I downloaded the file I have Adobe CS4 but it won't recognize the files I guess I'm missing a step somewhere, havent used P2 before.

cheers.

Adobe screams that they offically support avc-i codec on both premiere cs4 and AE cs4,but actually they are not. I investigate hole internet and evryone says the same,must be somthing wrong with their offical announcement and the reality...shame:(
No way to import them in any CS4 application,as far as i understood..

You have to download the AVC-I codec separately before P2 Viewer will work with AVC-I files. Go to the P2 Viewer download page and look for the AVC-I codec.
 
yes you can play on desktop with p2viewer over content management,but no way for cs4:( ı've not heart anybody worked in cs4 yet...
By the way i couldn't see any miracle with avc-i,if someone would not say they are acv,i would think they are old dvcprohd.I've to check it with chroma keying,then maybe 10 bit matters..

I think you might need a better monitor as there is more resolution in the AVC-Intra in both 1080 and 720. Also if you look at tonal gradations, this is where all 8 Bit codec fall down, especially in the browns, reds and blues, or at least this is where I see it. A 10 bit codec will handle this with ease, the 8 bit you might want to check before you leave the set.

Best,

Jan
 
what is the difference between HPX500 and HPX300 besides the 2/3 chips.
I have a chance to buy a HPX500 for $7,ooo.
I'm going to try and use my 8.5 X 5.5 2/3 SD lens for now.
I really like the 2/3 chips for the lattitude and depth.

thanks, Paul

The biggest difference is, the hpx500 is a global shutter CCD camera and the hpx300 is a rolling shutter cmos camera.

Read the following articles regarding the differences.

Another issue with CMOS sensor is IR contamination. Many Red One and EX owner have been forced to buy new IR filters based on this issue that can cost up to $1170 for a set of Pancro ND+IR filters.

You guys that have access to the hpx300, please report back on the IR contamination level on the cam.
 
Dear Jan,

Does this mean that DVCPRO HD is now obsolete and all Panasonic broadcast camcorders that will now be released have AVC-Intra capabilities?
Thank you for you thoughts!

DVCPRO HD is hardly obsolete. I think these various HD formats we have today -even HDV- will be used as long as the cameras are working. And yes; the CMOS & CCD issue is a critical thing as long as there's evident problems with rolling shutter etc.
