I would take other versions of ProRes, 4K ProRes, and several other features over alternate file systems, personally. :D

Yes i agree but other file systems would still be good. I presume FAT32 was used for maximum compatibility with all OS's.

Sure would be nice if CD added support for other filesystems.... exFAT, NTFS, HFS+... any of those or all of them :)

I'm happy with FAT32 and 4GByte file limit. Each time a file is closed and a new one opened, a portion of the sequence has been saved. If anything were to go wrong, you've reduced how much you would lose.

Yes that's a good point Stuart. Wonder if that makes any real difference though with the technology these SSD drives have that writes files securely (that Mitch has spoken about many times - it's meant to be fine to pull power while a file is being written and have the file remain intact on a reboot). I've not tried that though. Would be interesting to see more technical details of what's going on at a low level.
 
Mitch just posted this via twitter for anyone looking for answers on here:

@Mitch_Gross: Someone pls post this: To all on DVXUSER seeking answers, pls understand that the wifi in our hotel sucks so I can't until I'm back home.

Yes that's the limitation of FAT32 - just use the CD file combiner app to copy and combine files - it's really simple and quick :)

Although, Mitch - would be good to have some kind of percentage done and data rate readout in the app - particularly if you're using it to COPY files, not just combine them.

Interesting suggestion. I'll mention it to the engineers.

We want to be compatible with as many systems as possible, we want to maintain file integrity and we want to use the fastest possible recording structure, which is very important when you start dealing with 4K/60p or other high data loads.
 
Suddenly imagining 'Fear and Loathing' with Dan Keaton in the Hunter S role. Was there a new feature being announced in a coming update or did I read that incorrectly?
 
I was at NAB Monday and Teusday. Was at the booth both days but missed Mitch and Dan! Probably better as I'm betting after all my PM's and e-mails and phone calls you guys would have throttled me!

It would have been great to meet you both, though.

I did meet Andy, though! I like him. Nice guy. I gotta meet Gena next as I've talked to her a bunch, too! Have a safe trip back.
 
Hey, Mitch--

Been monitoring (no pun intended) the discussion thread here and am ready to take the plunge on the 7Q! I recall there being some discussion of custom LUTs available as a future firmware upgrade. I'm sure you've seen the the SmallHD has this feature and wondering if/when we might see something like this on the 7Q - http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/fshj6s1aeq

Thanks!

It is in active development. I'm hoping to see it in the next major firmware update but can't promise at this time.

Hi Mitch,

That's great news! Will this path also include support for 4:4:4 capture over HDMI? Will it require a hardware update/fix?

Thanks,
Gary

Any path that allows 4K will likely allow HD 4:4:4 as well. Still in development so I really can't state what will or will not be required for implementation.
 
Just out of curiosity, are we due another firmware update soon? Would be great to get some 4k ProRes and some 2k ProRes @ HFR.

Cheers

I believe we'll get a bug fix only this week. New features are coming sometime down the road.
