    Can somone tell me what the difference is gonna be with v3 and v4 in stead of the v2 ? is it even better or does it have other perks? I'm having a hard time getting the technical terms so if someone could explain it on dummy level.. thx!

  • eyefieyefi

    @driftwood, doing it now. do you prefer with 14-140 or with manual lens? pan or static?

  • NamelessNameless

    @driftwood I just tested 25p HBR on strays denser death chart and got battery pull after 1 second, whereas 24p just keeps going...

    hopes this helps ya

  • driftwooddriftwood

    I need someone to test the 25p out on v3 Rocket beta. @Tomaso was that 25p HBR you tested?

  • TomasoTomaso

    @driftwood Same panning as above with Rocket v3 now give me around 64 mbits and with a scene with more iregular motion close to 76 mbits. Thanks a lot. will also try Orion later.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @royfel OK, it got thru my death bush outside... I'll take a deeper look & readjust frame buffers more.

  • royfelroyfel

    The HBR mode in 30fps land fails with battery pull on the new span my and V3 rocket with 95MB/s card. Wish I didn't need it but the broadcaster I work for wants 30fps.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @Mr_Moore good point. Done ;-)

  • TomasoTomaso

    @LPowell Thanks I will try ROCKET v3 and then Orion when its released.

  • Mr_MooreMr_Moore

    @driftwood Hey, Nick! Surely you meant to rename the thread to “ROCKET v3 LAUNCHED TODAY,” eh?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @Tomaso Ah, panning... Try v3 Rocket... but 'Orion' is for you... released later.

  • TomasoTomaso

    @driftwood i am filming my street panning medium speed for 13-14 sec. I will uppload mts to Vimeo and update this post when done.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @Tomaso what sort of detail are you filming?

  • TomasoTomaso

    @driftwood Strange I still get only around 18 mbits in Quantum x v2 rocket HBR. The only GOP1 setting that have given me more in Firmware version 1.1 is Quantum 100 v3b. LPowell FlowMotion 100 v1.11 HBR mode also only give me around 20 mbits.

    Just did a a quick test in 720p H-mode and all went fine.
    Quantizer still on 16....
    And now i am gone, and lets hope it all go's good today :-)

  • mozesmozes

    Just downloaded Driftwood Quantum X 'SpanMyBitchUp' v2b
    Hbr works Oké now.
    720p still the same (SH)
    I will change Quantizer from 16 to 20. and go shoot some action.
    DAMN it would be nice if we can change that in the camera...
    just letting the bin file on the card, change things and restart the gh2 ;-)

  • mattherematthere

    Thanks for the updates, and for Rocket v3 :)

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Guys: 'SpanMyBitchUp' v2 is now 2b - can you guys give it a whirl. Thanks.

  • anttickyantticky

    @nic2011 I'm having same problems with the same card Edit: going to try v2

  • mozesmozes

    Quantum X 'SpanMyBitchUp' v2 crashed sadly enough when there is a lot off movement.
    In HBR and 720 mode, didn't matter witch iso or shutter speed...
    24p works without problems
    Its a sunny and cloudy day today.
    I have changed Quantizer from 16 to 20.
    Now 720 mode don't crashes,
    but if i film exactly the same with HBR the gh2 gets a speed error from the card.

    Now the strange thing.
    I have tryid i think all posible settings on the gh2
    The write error in HBR mode happens with all, EXEPT, Aperture mode.
    No matter what i did, there dident was one error.
    So to check, i did it all ones again in HBR mode.
    deferents iso an shutter settings
    And every time the gh2 gets a write error, except in Aperture mode...

    When set shutter to 1/100 and auto iso, the cam/lcd freeze no error message just a freeze on the moment i stop recording, buffer over run?
    This happens in all what i tested, sometimes after 10 seconds off filming, and sometimes after 30 seconds, it happed in 720 and HBR, all in highest quality setting....

    Will test it more today on the cross track, lot off collors, contrast, and movement....

    Ps, i dint have it say before, but thanks for all the work you put in it.
    its a real time consuming thing to work out the best settings, same go's for Vitaliy
    And offcourse every one else who spends time with this..

    Test from X2 - vimeo.com/37419635

    custom WB with shift, and exposure to attempt to get it looking as you see it in person.

    Uploaded original MTS.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Driftwood Quantum X 'SpanMyBitchUp' v2 - Whoops, I uploaded the wrong version on the frame limits. Corrected now Try 2b.

  • nic2011nic2011

    @driftwood Driftwood Quantum X 'SpanMyBitchUp' v2 - Released 24/02/2012>>

    I´ve got immediately write speed errors at HBR 30p and 60i (SanDisk Extreme 30MB). 720p60 + 24p worked fine...

  • cyfernoacyfernoa

    to everyone. Lpowel opened up the gh2 the other day when he explained how to get perfect black levels from it. Start the black lvels at 15 instead of 1. should be on a line from 1 to 255 I'm not sure what it is called in other NLE's but in premiere go to fast color corrector. Changes everything, makes everything smooth

  • AthirilAthiril

    @troyjason, if you read, you would see my card handles much higher data rates than what Quantum X can deliver @ max. It wasn't card limited.
