The next 4K digital mag for Aäton Penelope described by JP Beauviala ! [with english subs]

ERRATA

There's a little update to make:

the camera will record in RAW (in a DPX wrapper). So, it's not a 444 RGB log yet. So, on the film, at 2:00, if we keep the 10bit example, you should have a 250MB/sec bandwidth not 750MB/sec.

K = kilobytes of information, correct? So a single frame from one of these cameras would be 5,000 bytes of info. Is that right?

@Capt777harris

Actually, K = kilopixels: a 4K frame is 4096 pixels by 2160 lines (and 2K is 2048 pixels by 1080 lines).

To calculate the weight of a 10bit 4K RAW frame : 4096 pixels * 2160 lines * 10 bit / 8 (to get Bytes) / 1024 (to get KBytes) / 1024 (to get MBytes) = 10.55MegaBytes

@24fps, it's a 253.13MB per sec flow

and with an RGB 444 log, it's a gigantic 759.38MB per sec flow.

@tchatelet My god, that's massive. Almost a Gig per second with an RGB? Geeze, is shooting 35mm really all that bad?

Would have liked to see more product while M. Beauviala was speaking.

Fantastic upcoming product! If they can achieve all of their goals, this is just what the industry needs for digital capture. Good choice on the DPX! Perfect for post for VFX workflow. (thanks for subtitling the interview)
