Uncompressed HD frame grab tests
These test frames were recorded on a xpri at Mac Millian direct from the HDSDI output of a Evertz converter, supplied by Visual Impact. The camera was my upgraded f900.
So the image recorded was 1920x1080 4:2:2. For the moment I am presenting them in a pdf document which compresses them. They are 1MB in size
A HDCAM recording is 1440x1080pixels 3:1:1.
Here is the comparison between recording HDCAM and HDSDI
look at the very clean blacks from the f900 upgrade
subject and lighting of these shots are meant to be a challenge for the compositor!
