    Wow, this was a great, real-world use review. Specs are always important, but hearing about someone's actual USE of the camera is insightful. Thanks for going into so much detail.
    I have edited a little bit of BRAW footage, but none that required noise reduction. How do you think the CPU friendly BRAW footage with noise reduction is compares to other RAW footage, and even non-RAW footage?
    FWIW, none of my clients currently accept BRAW footage, so I'm hoping Blackmagic will opt to add ProRes in the future.

      @Dale_Campbell  2 месяца назад

      @@davidp158 evening David, thanks!
      For a bit more detail on the noise reduction, it is a bit of a taste thing. And stems somewhat from comparing raw footage to other codecs that have had more processing applied at the point of capture in camera. Which can often involve an element of noise reduction.
      So to get to that level with raw footage some gentle noise reduction can be applied. This usually doesn’t slow down my Mac noticeably, unless I’m using it heavily or using the more advanced noise reduction options.
      Having said that a lot of the time I just roll with the texture if it works for the image and isn’t objectively ’bad’.

    • @Dale_Campbell
      @Dale_Campbell  2 месяца назад

      Also I wouldn't hold out too much hope for prores unfortunately. Not many of the recent cameras have supported it, but I believe the video assists still do so that could be an option giving you a monitor and prores....

    Thanks for sharing your experience Dale. The orientation of those ports does seem to be a bit of a miss. Given the power consumption, v-mount seems to be more the way to go - going for a huge BPU battery, I'd worry about snapping the battery mount tabs as there's a lot of leverage from the battery if you knock it. Maybe it's built solidly enough though?

    Thanks Dale for sharing your experience in such detail, you are providing good educational content to many people starting with Pyxis and Black magic. I wonder if it would have been better to shot on 6K (full res of the sensor) and just edit on a 4K timeline. The image is better when you shot in 6K and you get more detail, dynamic range and less noise. And Davinci can handle the downscaling from 6K to 4K flawlessly in real time (also you can use proxies if your computer is not powerful enough). By shooting in 6K FF you also make better use of the full resolution of the optics of the Canon FD lenses. I really see no point in shooting in 4K just to match the less performing B cam. It should always be the other way around: the B cam should adapt to the A cam requirements. JMHO

      @Dale_Campbell  2 месяца назад +2

      @@phrasalsyntax thanks!
      The choice to shoot at the 4k DCI was down to data. In an ideal world I’d have shot at the full gate (or a closer crop) and a lower compression ratio. But that would have generated substantially more data.
      Sometimes these considerations win out, but I’ll be shooting some other things that explore the full gate and different compression settings over the next few weeks 🙌

    Tilta made a V mount extension plate that directly connects to the Zcam. Because first cameras had the flush at the back as well. Now the new Zcam line is off tilt . I don’t know if the same plate will actually work for black magic pix. It be interesting to see if it would or if Tilta will come out with a solution.

    You can fix the rolling shutter with the gyro image stabilization in resolve. just add the effect and bring it down to 0. cleans up the rolling shutter a ton. ( just remember to put in camera/lens settings while your shooting.)

    • @Dale_Campbell
      @Dale_Campbell  2 месяца назад

      This is something I’ll be trying out, the other side of rolling shutter that I didn’t really get into here as it gets a bit too in depth is the motion cadence. As the rolling shutter will have an impact on the subject in shot as they move around the frame, even when the camera itself is locked off… and this aspect can’t really be corrected. It is subtle and one of those things that won’t really be felt until you can make the comparison or if you’ve shot film/global shutter a lot.

    This sensor is probably maxed out as far as frame rates and IQ so I would expect the next Pyxis will have and different sensor. Everytime Blackmagic comes out with a new body it is quickly followed by another better one within a few months to address limitation they had with the previous model. Internal NDs, swappable mount, new sensor based on the Ursa Cine line, higher frame rates, better rolling shutter and auto AF are some of the options likely to appear.

    • @hivetech4903
      @hivetech4903 2 месяца назад +2

      That all sounds like stuff that would appear on a much higher end or non-cinema camera.
      BM do not have AF patent tech - that is not going to happen.
      There wasn't that much difference between the 6K & 6K pro.
      It will almost certainly be the same sensor, as BM could make a tonn of money selling a pro with just internal NDs & port & mount upgrades, just like they did with 6K pro.

    • @Dale_Campbell
      @Dale_Campbell  2 месяца назад

      I don’t disagree in so far as there will be another camera that makes use of the new body. But that said it did take a while to get from the URSA 4.6k to the URSA pro G1 which brought the internal NDs etc.
      currently I’m not too concerned about the mount, as it is possible to adapt out to most things.
      Auto focus is a tricky one as other companies have years of R&D and now we have viable cost effective alternatives coming in the for of various LiDar systems… I’ll be surprised if Blackmagic go this route, unless they get collab with someone or acquisition.
