Re: Extreme BMD 12K test

The more I experiment with this camera the more impressed I am with where I can take it.

I’m having to use some workarounds because of lack of computing power but I’ll see how much a 3060 with 12Gb costs in January.

At one stage I was looking at Task Manage to see what resources were being used and the graphics card was running at 100% and the main processor at 85% mind, it was only using 15Gb of memory 😊

Really impressive stuff.

The same file as before but with the exposure changed to plus 3 which is effectively rating the camera at ISO 128,000

Zoomed in by 1.5* to match the frame line in my VF that was set for an 8K image within a 12K recording. This was to allow for extreme movements during stabilisation. A frame line of 10K within the 12K would have been more than adequate.

I spent a little more time on the noise profile in Neat this time :-) but stabilisation was just select stabilise, select perspective and click start, camera lock was enabled, zoom was disabled. The manual zoom mentioned above was applied after stabilisation.

I forgot to say that it took about 15 minutes in total to do this. An hour if you include going down in the lift and across the street to shoot it 😊

This starts with a totally uncorrected image. Shot at dawn with the camera set at ISO 1600, 12K, 2:40, Q1 and handheld.

The second section has been corrected using BRAW settings only to increase exposure by 2 stops, it was noise reduced in Neat and then stabilised very quickly, it could be better, in Resolve.

 

Because of limitations of my system this had to be done in 2 passes, exposure corrected and noise reduced and rendered out as 16bitDPX then loaded back into Resolve and stabilised.

 

If I had a more powerful post system it could have been done in a single pass.

 

3 year old Dell with Intel i7, 32Gb RAM, RTX1070 with 8Gb, SSD RAID and single SSD for input and output.

 

This is just a quick and nasty example of what I’m doing at the moment, pushing the camera further and further to see what I can get away with.
