    @peternap What is M6?

  • peternappeternap

    @Hakosuka Yup! There aren't many good 720 patches, Mysteron is better than Sedna, Sanity 5, Flow Motion 2 is looking good and M6 has a lot of potential. Cluster 1 is a very good patch and I am looking forward to seeing Cluster 2.

    Does anyone have issues with 720/60p with Sedna AQ1 on a Sandisk 95Mbs 8GB card? I get the speed limit error after 3 seconds. 1080/24p works fine and looks great however.

    Thanks

    GH2 1.1 Driftwood Cluster v1 don't look at the over exposure and other shortcomings it was my fault, i had to shoot this in 2 hours, i think it's enough for school project

  • daiharddaihard

    @LongJohnSilver Good to know. I've been eyeing the 20mm. Thanks LukeV

    Thanks bueller

    @ LukeV thanks for the suggestion. I checked yesterday and it's ok. Still not convinced of the sickening results I shot some clips with the same Sedna settings just switching to 24p cinema mode and they are perfect as usual. Nick gave a look at my mts and it seems I stressed too much the current HBR implementation going 80+Mb with that scenario. BTW reviewing my notes (I accustomed to write down lens/camera settings for every shot) I realized that the clip I posted on Vimeo is shot with the razor sharp Lumix 20mm at F8. So the HBR could not cope with the amazing number of details in the scenario. @driftwood was quite more technical explaining it :)

    Bye

    @LongJohnSilver You might want to check your lens adaptor. The screws that hold the lens mount sometimes get loose making the lens shift slightly making you out of focus. It's happened to me on a shoot. best LukeV

    Always sorry to hear of a session ruined. Of course, lets look into this. Also, I would like you to test out the AQ1 version of Sedna on HBR mode and the other Canis Majoris Day settings. More appearing this week - Ive been away from pv for some time with work matters but will be back down with some new settings over the course of the next few days.

    I'm particluarly iinterested in your problem and will spend some time tomorrow afternoon on a similar location to yours to see where the problem lies.

    Hi Nick, as you know I shoot mostly underwater. I find that 30p is smoother for uw use and sometime I can safely slow down to 24p if necessary.

    Anyway I'm not a pixel peeper but these shots are worse than the clips from my 50 euro Nokia phone. I cannot understand what I screwed up!

    Anyway: Sedna a Q20 HBR 1080p30, iso 160 a bounch of Sandisk 16GB Extreme 30Mb/s, 90% of manual lens: Yashica 28f2.8 and 50f1.4 then Lumix 14-45mm and 20mm. No etc... Always on tripod.

    The shot on vimeo has the original MTS file. I'll pm you for the others.

    @robbie75vr are you having the same problem?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Cluster v2 has been road tested all weekend and should be set for release within the next few days.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Was your intention to film in 1080i or HBR mode? Did you try shooting some stuff in 24p? HBR I frames are much smaller for 1080i / or HBR mode, and this kind of shot will not guarantee good results. However, things are looking more than a little strange. Can you take me through all settings, sdcard, etc... lenses used... etc.. it would be interesting to know. Also send me some example mts files.

    Hi guys,

    I've used Sedna aq20 since the beginning without problems... until today:

    All my today shots completely ruined and useless. Two hours of clips ready for the bin. I filmed in a wood and all the shots with foliage shown severe artifacts, part of the image seems blurry. Look at the tree bark, the upper part seems out of focus and the middle part has a lots of artifacts. All the leafs seems frying :( I left the original mts file for dowload.

    Sedna aq20, 108030p, iso 160.

    Streamparser seems ok!

    @rajamalik On EOSHD and a few other places they compared the 5DMkIII to the hacked GH2 (though the GH2 used lower bitrate settings than Sedna). You could still clearly see the resolution advantage the GH2 had quite clearly. The 5DMkIII seemed like it might have both better dynamic range and high ISO performance (and on the stills side there was no question that it won on all 3 points).

    But yes, in temrs of resolution in 1080p, you still get better results with the GH2 and Sedna.
