what is the limitation of a DSLR video


The live HDMI output on Canon DSLRs are 480i only.
 

I am wondering if convergent design Nano flash will work with Canon 550D,7D or the new 60D HDMI output or not?
Anyone has any ideas? If it is able to work it will be some really good news.

The 550D HDMI output is low res while shooting video, so it wouldn't be very useful. Not sure about the other 2 cams.
 

I think if its only 480I output on HDMI, Its not a good news. Was hoping it could output Full HD via HDMI.

It is full HD until you press the button to start recording. Then it switches to SD. I suppose if you are able to clear away all the on screen displays, you can record the HDMI output to the nano flash without actually recording on the camera. Don't know if it is possible to inhibit all the icons though.
 

only canon DSLR now that outputs 1080i would be the 7D.

All other single digic processor DSLRs output at 640 and downres to 480 when recording.

We tried the 7D with a cinedeck to record 4:2:2 cineform, using the 7D only as a capture device and not recording to the CF card, we were able to clear all the overlays and info on the screen, however only way to get rid of the focusing box would be to use Canon EF lenses, was not possible with a compact prime.

Wah CineDeck is some high end thingy man. I am thinking on Nanoflash only. Don't know if it will work with Nano flash. Got to try it.
 

why nobody use MC5? 4:4:4 Intra-frame based codec.
 

dunno leh...Avid Media Composer not too widely implemented here.

Most common NLEs i see are FCP, Vegas & Premiere Pro.
 

anyone have problems mixing footage from dslr and other cams.

i can't seem to get the Sony NX cam to look like dslr, even when shallow DOF is not in play. the color just can't match even when we shoot color charts.

both raw footage converted to pro res

if anyone has a solution please share

You Mean Sony HXR-NX5?
 

yup

you can see what i mean in this vid (still working on it, posted online to meet an editorial dateline)

interviews were a mix of 7d and NX. (usually wide 7d close-up NX)

crappy weather didn't help

Actually i can't tell the difference. Is it the interview part? Primary the sensor of the NX-5 is only 1/3" only compared to a 7D with a APS-C Size sensor. That's why the DOF is not as shallow as the 7D but you might wanna try zooming in achieve a shallow DOF with NX-5.
Did you check the WB on ya NX-5?

Different camcorders/dslr have different color wb even if it is shot side by side. The solution to that is to colour correct them using "Magic Bullet Suit 10". :cool:
 

yes the interviews, both white balance set to daylight.
not talking about DOF

and yes i used MB colorista 2 but honestly for colour matching final cut pro 3 way corrector is much more accurate.

I guess NX-5P has a more blue tone than the 7D? I think its a known problem with NX-5.
