Product Information

Whooo hoooo....we finally somehow manage to receive an update from an actual employee of BMD....keep em coming as I am sure there are customers that have either spent money or are thinking of spending money and really appreciate it.

Helped me and others who may have the sandisk II and with no help from BMD or indeed you managed to find out the thing works I just wanted to give everyone the heads up about PNY drives and the BMCC. The XLR8 480gb drives seem to have changed, but are still being sold in the same box! Apologies if this is better suited for the Resolve subforum, but I am a little confused about color space and gamma settings for BMP4K Film mode footage in Resolve. The naming conventions for IDTs/LUTs/transforms/etc seem somewhat inconsistent.

With DNG the information to linearize and the matrices to convert from sensor RGB to XYZ are all in the DNG metadata tags, so all the information needed to convert to ACES is always in the DNG and Resolve handles this internally.

Ethernet supports 10/100/1000 BaseT. Allows direct connection between panel and chassis, or vianetwork. Tally Output Formatting in-camera using firmware 2.4 usually works well, unless there's a problem with a SSD or the camera.

Capturing Ultra HD (3840 X 2160) resolution on a Super 35 sensor in the high-quality ProRes 422 (HQ) format, the Production Camera 4K breaks new ground when it comes to the relationship between quality and price. Ethernet supports 10/100/1000 BaseT. Allows direct connection between panel and chassis, or via network. Tally Output The camera features a 6G-SDI connector that allows single-cable 4K transfer. It also includes a Thunderbolt connector and a LANC connector for controlling record, stop, focus and iris settings, remotely. I'm not sure why formatting in camera would solve this. Both in the camera and on the computer the drives are formatted as exFAT.

Blackmagic 77mm Lens Cap

The original 2.5K camera had fundamental architectural differences in firmware compared to the other cameras which doubled the effort when trying to do any bug fixes or add new features to the cameras. As such, we knew we had to re-architect the firmware so as to bring it up to speed with the current cameras. This is not simple and taking longer than we thought. However, we are close now, close enough that beta versions have been seeded to some users for the past few months.

Other Interface: 2.5mm LANC for remote control; Thunderbolt port for capture of HD video and audio; USB 2.0 mini-B port for software updates and configuration

For ProRes I'll be honest, I haven't looked at whats available in Resolve but will follow it up. But yes you need IDTs not only for each camera, but for each ISO. This is the same as other cinema cameras like ARRI etc. And prior to Gen 4 you would need IDTs for each colour temperature you shot with, as ARRI has available here for their linear files (you'll see in each EI/ISO folder multiple files for each CCT/correlated colour temperature): We tested color reproduction and separation by shooting some highly saturated and textured clothing on bright green grass. There is no auto white balance function. White balance settings are limited to six presets from 3200 to 7500. If you need to fine tune your white balance more than this you'll need to do it in post. Even after increasing the color saturation in post by 25-percent and viewing at 400 percent, we could not detect any bleeding between colors or reduction in the sharpness of the clothing detail. With ProRes 422 and (later) CinemaDNG RAW, there is plenty of color information to play with without sacrificing image quality. Ethernet supports 10/100/1000 BaseT. Allows direct connection between panel and chassis, or vianetwork. Internal Timecode Generator I'm having trouble recording raw on my BMPC. I have two Kingston HyperX Savage 480 GB (SHSS37A/480G) that are listet as approved for raw recording, but I can only record about 6-10 seconds before I get a red exclamation mark on my display. I have tried formatting the drives in both HFS+ and exFAT.
