I've owned the ninja star for a while now, I know it has better colour information yet the detail always seems worse. Now I know why.


This is the image that comes out of the internal A7S:

This is the image coming out of the ninjastar:

The second image has a noticeable grid like pixel pattern on it, where as the internal a7s has a smooth grain to it.

The camera settings are as follows, 25p - hdmi settings 1080i ( as the a7s won't allow me to use the 1080p with the 25p framerate)

Then on the atomos is set to codec LT Convert i-P

I really hope it's something I'm doing wrong, because it's noticeably worse coming out of the ninjastar, which defeats the purpose of the product.

Thanks.
 
The second image has horrible macroblocking. There must be some better settings. I would go straight to HQ.
 
I'm very interested in this combo and would love to hear more about your experiences Terrence.

Does the A7S trigger recording on the Ninja Star via HDMI without problems?
