So you most of you heard about the new technology LG is developing "Transparent OLED Displays" wouldn't it be so cool to make the windshield of the car a transparent display so you could see every detail about the car on the screen and in something like Tesla and its evolving autopilot you can rely on it without the worry to check the road every 5 minutes, so in that time you can use the screen to watch movies or play some game on the screen. I now that there is HUD to display speed and other details. But it won't be comparable to this, don't you think so?

I understand LMG exports videos to 'Cineform' with Adobe Media Encoder & Resolve to do De noise. Premiere Pro is the editing tool of choice with custom servers and codes. Apple Pro Res is now available on softwares running on Windows. In Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Resolve so I am really thinking of shifting to PC. Only reason I am still on a Mac OS is for ARRI codex VFS to backup Original Camera Files (OCF) from codex capture drives. I have also contacted Codex support. Looks like it will take some more time or may be, it will always be primarily Mac OS only for codex RAW for ARRI Camera's. I generally use Blackmagic Da Vinci Resolve Studio with Adobe Premiere Pro/Media Encoder. Even native camera tools like Red Cine X pro or ARRI RAW convertor or Sony Catalyst to transcode for offline edit. These are also available on windows. It looks like I will be able to work on most of the proprietary original camera files to transcode with windows apps like mac drive pro to read & write mac formatted drive. No doubt building a machine to playback 8k R3D and for transcoding makes sense on Windows PC. Here are some doubts. I have. Can NAS communicate with Windows & Mac Networks through shared storage Ethernet. Any third party solution to use Codex VFS for camera like ARRI RAW to safely backup footage from codex capture drives (cards) with apps like Hedge with md5 or xxHash64 checksum. Any suggestions.

Hey guys I don't know about you guys, but I think that my type of gaming (mostly 1st person shooter or 3rd person over 60fps games with rapid movements) has somewhat decreased my experience in watching movies in the cinemas. I think its because since i play every game above 60 fps with motion blur always turned if if possible cause fuk that and since movies are at 24fps with high motion blur in fast moving scenes. So whenever there is a fast pan it kind of hurts my eyes because I feel like there is a jitter and way to much out of focus on screen (motion blur). what do you guys think? it is just me or do you notice this as well?

Hi I want to host a open air cinema this summer. There are going to be around 100 peoples so I need a big screen. The best way is a projector. I don't know a lot about projectors when it comes to admitted light or contrast. I need your help. As of now I plan to use my own Benq W1000 as renting a projector is quit expensive. The cinema will start around 11 pm so the sky should be dark by then, even in July. Will this work with that projector. I used https://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-W1000-projection-calculator-pro.htm to calculate but I don't know all the units and what they stand for. 4m (13feet) screen would be fine for me. Can I do that? Thanks for your answer Janick Spielmann

RED the makers of expensive cinema cameras is coming out with a new model soon. The Komodo a 6k small body camera for around 6k with early colored editions being 7k. Red hydrogen can be used with it and those who bought one can get a discount. Its a super 35 sensor like most cinema cameras Uses canons new RF mount meaning it can be adapted to almost everything other than Sony E mount. 6k recording is only in redcode raw Pro res is available in 4k, 2k and HD Uses CFast 2.0 cards not redmags powered by canon BP batteries It does 6k 17:9 at up to 40, 6k 2.4:1 or 5k up to 48, 4k 60, 2k 120 Has phase detection AF which is rare in most cinema cameras All of canons have it branded as Dual Pixel AF and some of Sonys new ones have it as well 3.5mm mic no XLR My thoughts: I'm interested in this but the lack of XLR will make it a hard sell for solo doc filmmakers. This will likely force canon to refresh the C200 and maybe the C100 however this can really hurt companies like kinefinty and z-cam. It isn't the cheapest 6k camera that going to the pocket 6k at 2k but that needs at least 1k spend to getting set up right. the Kinefinity Mavo 6k is almost the same price as the Komodo at 7k for a running body with a lens mount. for those who want FF at 6k the Mavo 6kFF is 10k for a running body It was used to shoot this open for SNL Public test footage sources https://www.cinema5d.com/red-komodo-update-price-pre-release-custom-color-version-pdaf/ https://ymcinema.com/2020/06/04/red-komodo-more-specs-revealed-and-real-world-footage/

This is currently a hypothetical, but I plan on eventually buying one of these sets. Looking to start my research early. Let's say that one has a flexible budget of between $10K and $13K for a set of cinema lenses. Target focal lengths are around 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, and 85mm (I dislike 35mm; willing to live without 14mm). Maximum aperture of 2.8 or higher on average. Use case: FS5 and A7iii A/B cam setup. I have a set of Rokinon CINE-DS lenses which will work, but I'm looking to start checking out other lenses for future work. The Gold Standard: Cooke S4 Minis. Never used these lenses, but oh my god do they look beautiful. I prefer these over all the ARRI/Zeiss/Leica high price cinema lenses. Let's review the options: Rokinon Xeen Primes** (14, 24, 50, 85, 135) Soft when wide open. Good color and contrast. Great value. Zeiss CP.2 Primes** (24, 50, 85) Super sharp all around. Maximum aperture varies among different CP.2s. Flares are garbage. Canon Cine Primes (24, 50, 85) Reddish cast to skin tones. Makes people look thinner and kind of strange. Sharp & consistent. Sigma Cine Primes (24, 50, 85) Not 114mm (don't care that much). Super sharp. Good color. Sigma Cine Zooms** (18-35 and 50-100) Same feel as Sigma Primes More coverage Heavy Doesn't cover Full Frame. Build quality is great, but I just don't like the feel of these lenses. I assume the Sigma Primes feel the same. Sony Cinealta Primes (20, 25, 35, 50, 85, 135) Favorite look of all these lenses, on par with Sigmas. Super coverage. Great value, but not as good as Sigma Zooms. Since they're primes, they can be split among two cameras more easily. Doesn't cover Full Frame. Can't find a place to rent these to be able to try before buying. I'm referring to these lenses if you haven't heard of them: https://www.adorama.com/sosclpk6f.html?rfkref=productPage ** - Lenses I have used in the past. So, to any other cinematographers out there, do you have any experience with these lenses and any input for me? Do you know other lenses which you like more? Am I wrong? This will be a big decision when I come to making it in the future, so I'd like to know as much as I can about everything here well in advance. Thanks guys. P.S. Anamorphic is a whole other ball game, so please don't suggest the new Orion lenses or anything like that.

Relevant Information YES I am aware that Blackmagic has since Monday released a new 4.0 BETA firmware for the Ursa Mini 4.6K, but since I sent the camera back before this was out I made this video using firmware 3.3. The new firmware does add A LOT of awesome features including quicker access to controls, so thumbs up to Blackmagic for getting that rolled out. Camera Body I/O aside the Blackmagic had a few quirks that I will mention here for anyone considering on purchasing an Ursa Mini 4.6K. The first is that all the threaded mounting points on the camera are sized for ¼”-20 screws. The reason this could be a small issue for some is that most tripod plates come with a single ¼”-20 screw and a single 3/8” screw, meaning that you will need to have extra ¼”-20 screws on hand to prevent your tripod plate from twisting loose. My second minor gripe with the Ursa Mini’s body is that the power button is ONLY on the inside of the monitor. This was particularly annoying when I was using the camera handheld eventually needing to switch batteries and in order to do so I had to take the camera off my shoulder open the monitor, power the camera off, set the camera down or have someone hold it then finally change batteries. When trying to work quickly with a crew in particular this was a minor but noticeable annoyance. My third and final physical complaint is the omission of the global shutter. While I understand that Blackmagic could not make the process work with both the promised DR and the Global shutter it is a bit of a let down. The silver lining to this is the rolling shutter on the Ursa is very solid and was never an issue even when using the camera handheld. In all the work I put this camera through not once did it cross my mind that the rolling shutter made the image much worse. I consider Global Shutter to be a feature reserved for higher end cameras and there aren't many cameras close to the Ursa's price point that have it. QC Issues Like all of Blackmagic’s releases this camera has been in high demand and had a lot of people in line with pre-orders. While I can only guess, this seems to have led to difficulties in their QC process. Our unit from B&H had a small imperfection on the cameras monitor that was not generally noticeable when you had an image on screen but was definitely visible going through the cameras menus. This could very easily be damage the camera received during shipping but ether way we ended up with it, annoying. The second more pressing issue we had physically was the REAR SDI out on the camera did not work at any point in time. I tried multiple camera and full size desktop monitors and half a dozen SDI cables with no luck. This was disappointing but not something I believe Blackmagic would fix if my past customer service experience with them is any indication. This is however something that many will find unacceptable since you will be without your camera for up to several weeks depending on where you live. The last and possibly the most talked about QC issue that people have been mentioning is the magenta cast that some of the 4.6K sensors seem to be exhibiting. While I was shooting with the Ursa Mini I was using a GenusTech Variable ND filter and a Hoya IR Cut Filter since I was often outside shooting for this video and the short film. When using those two filters together I did not notice any magenta cast in any of the footage I shot, making sure to go through every shot start to finish checking for it. The corners of the frame seem to be the dead giveaway on other owners units but I did not experience such a drastic issue. That being said when I was not using the ND filter with the IR cut filter I did notice a SLIGHT magenta cast in some of my evening footage particularly at 800 ISO (Will be adding screen grabs in the morning) When I first noticed it I was a tad bit concerned however after doing a simple tint correction with in Premiere Pro (nothing fancy) I was able to remove all signs it was ever there, in fact many shots in the video originally had the slight tint and I am fairly certain you would never know it was there to begin with after colour correction was done. It is a shame others are having issues with their copy of the camera but if most currently shipping Ursa Mini’s give the images I got from the one I tested I think there will be many happy owners of this camera out there still. I do hope Blackmagic addresses this issue full swing as its one of main drawbacks being talked about this camera at the moment, but it is also something that should be fixable with time as these cameras begin shipping in larger numbers. It isn't something to brush past if you are considering this camera but if you can afford the time to correct it when it arrives the rest of the image will impress. Finally I hope you guys enjoy the video and if you have any other specific questions about the Ursa Mini 4.6k please done hesitate to ask me on twitter: @Brandon_Y_lee

Lytro Cinema is basically a camera that allows more post-production editing by capturing the scene in layers based on the distance of the camera. This allows the user to delete for example a background without touching what ever is in front of the background closer to the camera. This effectively eliminates the need for a greenscreen. The way the camera works is that it creates a 3D space of the recorded area, and that also allows movement of the camera after it was shot increasing the stabilzation opportunities as post-processing effects. The camera also focuses on all depth surfaces, allowing the user to choose the focus point after shooting to create the depth of field effect digitally, or just to leave everything in the shot focused. Camera also allows you to change the framerate of an individual asset in the scene. The CEO of Lytro, Jason Rosenthal, has confirmed in a recent blogpost that Lytro will be moving away from the consumer grade cameras, and focusing on VR and more professional part of the field. Reasoning behind this is the lowered interest in consumer grade cameras with the widespread of phones and their cameras and the better opportunities in the professional field. Lytro Cinema prototype shown at NAB 2016 Links to soruces/articles: Lytro Cinema Lytro Blog TechCruch DPreview Article 11th of April DPreview Article 20th of April (NAB 2016) PetaPixel Camera known specifications: 755 RAW Megapixels Up to 300 fps (I presume by lowering the quality) Claimed to have a 40K resolution and 400GB write per second Up to 16 stops of Dynamic Range Intergrated High Res Active Scanning Systems My thoughts: I personally think that Lytro is onto something here. If this model isn't what sets the standard for big movie studios, the one that does set the standard will certainly be using this techonoly. At least we're headed in a new and interesting direction, and I myself am really interested to see where this direction leads.

Well, started. They rolled these badboys out last Fall and you might have even seen a movie already (Hobbit, Interstellar) on one of these. I'm looking forward to our local IMAX screens getting updated with these, as the results seemingly look amazing. Not that IMAX doesn't already look amazing. IMAX has solved the problem of current digital projectors by using said lasers, but they obviously have no desire in revealing their close guarded method in how the two projector system is able to reproduce more colours than the human eye can see AND while technically these output a 4K for a theatre, are capable of producing more pixels than the human eye is capable of discerning. Pretty awesome stuff. http://gizmodo.com/imaxs-new-laser-projectors-make-me-wish-i-lived-in-a-mo-1689480610

Hello! I'm a newbie so any help would be much appreciated! I am buying this monitor: http://www.amazon.com/CROSSOVER-27QW-IPS-LED-2560x1440/dp/B00EZM7GCY But I have one problem! I have nearly completed my hackintosh build but have run out of budget, therefore don't have a dedicated graphics card YET. I have a ga-z87x-d3h motherboard and an I7 4770k. Now the motherboard has HDMI 1.4a and can support up to 4K! The monitor only supports DVI Dual link so I need to connect it to the motherboard for the mean time until I get the funds for my GTX 780. On the gigabytes website (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4518#sp) it says the DVI-D port can only support a max res of 1980x1200 from this port. So my question is, can I get a DVI dual link to HDMI 1.4 that will display 2560x1440p natively with no issues? Thanks guys, look forward to your thoughts!

I have a few files of high-quality video (mkv) that I was looking to play back through my home theatre. I used to stream a lot from my PC to xbox and ps3, but have found it a lot more reliable to just copy videos onto an SD card and play it back from that. I downloaded a TV show, with episodes around 20-25 mins and around 1.2GB in size. I suspect they might be 4K or at least a lot higher than 1080p. These files have dual audio and subtitles - but my TV hasnt had any troubles with that before. Whenever I try to play them from my SD card audio and video go out of sync, frame rate drops terribly and it's just downright unplayable. I've tried playing them from an external HDD onto my computer, but that doesnt seem to work either. The only way to watch them is to play directly from the internal HDD in my computer. (I am bottlenecked using USB 2.0) The SD cards I'm running are 30MB/s and although still unplayable I've noticed a huge difference in play quality from 15MB/s cards. I'm thinking it's just a bitrate issue? In any case, I've ordered higher speed cards online which should be due any day now. Thanks, saya_kucing
