Is There HMC-150/Blackmagic Intensity Footage Online

[DavidNJ]

I'm looking for an example of hmc150 footage captured over HDMI with a Blackmagic design Intensity card. Preferably with enough light to have zero gain.

I've seen the Intensity with other cameras, and lots of HMC150, but not the two together.

Captured to Cineform via HDMI and the Intensity card would be fine.

No one knows of any footage???

And youtube, vimeo...nothing...Xbox yes...HMC150 no. HV20 yes...HMC150 no

 

[DavidNJ]

Really, no one put any footage up on an HMC150?

Man David, you're really chomping at the bit on this issue.

Give it time. It hasn't been out that long.

From the footage you have seen, does it change much from the original? Obvioiusly it would help avoid macroblocking from formats like HDV, but are there any other differences in the picture? I thought this would be a great product to have with the 150, but its AVCHD codec holds out so well, that I doubt you would see much difference at all in 1080 in a situations where you are tethered to a computer (unless there is a ton of movement). I was thinking the biggest deal breaker is that there is no 24 support, but maybe cineform could take care of this on capture? If you are going to cineform anyway, that would be nice to be able to go straight to your editing codec.

I have some stuff. Let me pull it up. The first month or so I had the camera, before FCP was foolproof, I captured some stuff via the intensity.


I don't think that it looked as good as the FCP pro-res conversion.. but it's okay. We transcoded on the fly to DVCPRO HD.. but we could have done anything. It looks good and I'll try and find some footage that I can throw online... It did end up on my TV show too

Is there any advantage in colour terms, e.g 10 bit?
