@Azo

Hi 栄造,

Many thanks for your feedback! :-)

And I am glad in your being pleased with TZ3.

HBR of TZ3 is more practical than TZ2. Also in a detailed scene or a close-up shot, this can be satisfactorily used in both.

Thank YOU Nanao.

@bkmcwd I tried the ZERO-2_BETA5 patch with the Panny 20mm 1.7 in the HBR30P mode and it did not span with this patch. The recording stops at around the 15 minute mark with the 64GB 95MB/s cards. The two recording modes that are important for me in terms of spanning would be 24P and HBR30p, I rarely record anything in 720P mode and if I do it would probably be five minutes in length or less.

I downloaded the original m2t files for the Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO3 BETA HBR30p. WOW this patch IMHO is absolutely the best quality that I have seen yet from the HBR30p mode. Vimeo unfortunately destroys the video quality and does not do the footage justice. If anybody wants to see the real quality that this patch has to offer, download the original m2t files and convert them with 5DtoRGB to see the phenomenal quality that this patch has to offer.

I think I have the perfect setup for my needs, ClusterX Moon Trial 5 for 24p and Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO3 for HBR30p. Thank you @Driftwood & bcmcwd for all your hard work. I truly really appreciate all the effort and testing that goes into making these patches available to the rest of us.

@Mirrorkisser

will the characteristics in 4p mode be the same in TZ3 or will they change like the other modes?

About 24p, I think that there is no need to change.

I am doing the final adjustment in 60p now. :-)

@moribun1984

Many thanks for your beautiful sample footage, mate. Nice work! :-)

@rsquires Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry to say that I did not try "In camera playback". But bkmcwd wrote "In camera playback is sometimes not available in 24p. In other mode, Sometimes available after reboot the camera."

I tested "expressive powers" by bkmcwd's setting on GH2. Hacked GH2 by bkmcwd "Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 BETA3". Pana12-35mm + GENUS 62mm ND Fader Filter. AVCHD24p, over 100mbps, SS1/50, Aperture Open, ISO200, WB Outdoors under a clear sky, NOSTALGIC(-2,-2,+1,-2). Transcode from MTS to ProRes422 by Adobe Media Encoder CS6. Exposure Adjustment & Edit by FCPX. Music: hmix.net/music/h/h6.mp3.

@Azo

I am also looking forward to the TYPE-ZERO3 Kikaida sharp version :)

LOL

In fact, it is already completed almost and is already under verification now.

It may be able to be released tomorrow.

BTW, It will be good if the white balance issue was solved.

Thank YOU Nanao. :-)

@bkmcwd

Thank you for the explanation... I will also try the GOLGOP3-13 for a general all around use type of patch. I am also looking forward to the TYPE-ZERO3 Kikaida sharp version :) What I am trying to accomplish is having one GH2-patch for HBR30p/720P mode and the other GH2-patch for 24p mode.

I also figured out a way to mitigate the custom white balance issue that I had with the GH2. I use Final Cut ProX because its fast to edit with and works out great for my needs. I purchased the white balance plugin from FCPeffects and this makes it super easy to correct the white balance.

Domo Arigato. ナナオ

@Mirrorkisser

Thanks always mate! :-)

call one setting valkyrie 444 soft and the other one sharp.

Yes. TYPE-ZERO3 which I am preparing now is just the "444 Sharp" itself.

I understand well about your reason for liking about Valkyrie 444 TZ2. On the other hand, I think that character other than 24p of 444 TZ2 is past an extreme.

Therefore, I am adjusting a somewhat sharp matrix now.

@Azo

Thank YOU, Nanao. :-)

Although your statement is roughly right, it is not exact.

First, as a premise, supposing you use 24p, both GOLGOP3-13s and Valkyries will be able to be used satisfactorily. About 24p, it is affected only by your liking which you use.

Also in other modes, GOLGOP3-13s can be used all around.

In the modes other than 24p of Valkyries, in order to obtain better image quality, there are conditions.

In the modes other than 24p of Valkyries, are not suitable to shoot a object, such as a forest in my sample of this, fine details are spread on the screen. The speed of a motion is not related.

It is dependent on in what kind of composition you shoot baseball and waves. Probably, it is also good to judge in "whether it is wide or close-up." Again, The speed of a motion is not related.

EDIT: Please try both yourself by all means. Also in a 12-mm wide shot, I have got satisfactory image quality in the case where my son who continues moving quickly is shot, for example.

Were these communicated well to you?

@bkmcwd I just want to clarify and make sure I understand you correctly. So GOLGOP3-13 is better for fast moving objects such as filming a baseball player hitting a fast ball, waves breaking on the shore etc, and the Valkyrie patch is better for slower moving objects like filming a band playing music etc, with the benefit of better grading. どうもありがとうございます。ナナオ

Although the image quality of YouTube is quite bad, this is the sample in which the character of this matrix has appeared well.

@dado023

is original mts on vimeo re-encoded or is it source straight from camera,

Of course, straight, no re-encoded.

because kind of picture is soft, lacks sharpness to my eyes.

Your eyes are right! :-)

This is a test in a situation unsuitable for HBR or 720p of Valkyries. If it is 24p, it is satisfactory at all.

Although the bit rate is about 65 Mbps in the super-high stressed shot as which this fine depiction is required, the file shot with the cherry blossoms is also about 65M.

That is, in this matrix, it is very difficult to reproduce fine details in the same bit rate.

Instead, very beautiful gradation is reproduced in a close-up shot.

Although coexistence of gradation and details is possible in 24p, since the bit rate which can be used in other modes is low, character inclines.
