Sean Elder Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sorry for not putting topic tags, but another question just popped into my head. With this cameras native color space set to 4:2:2 at 50Mbps recording is it then possible to record via a Ki Pro or Ki Pro mini to get the full 4:4:4 color space?

With this cameras native color space set to 4:2:2 at 50Mbps recording is it then possible to record via a Ki Pro or Ki Pro mini to get the full 4:4:4 color space? What camera? What connection/cable comes out of it? Most can only carry 4:2:2; you need dual-link HD-SDI or a single 3G-SDI for 10-bit 1080P 4:4:4. Though I think the cable/connection limitation is bandwidth, not 4:2:2 versus 4:4:4 -- HDMI could carry 4:4:4 if it were low enough in data, such as an 8-bit signal might be.

Sean Elder Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 What camera? My apologies, I'm asking this question in regards to the EOS C300. I think that the output is 8-bit single link??? (please advise me if I am mistaken) from the HDSDI spigot on the camera. I am totally unsure about the HDMI signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Elder Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Another question along with my previous. Is this camera capable of out-putting 4:4:4, or would an external device be necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to read this: http://blog.abelcine.com/2012/03/28/using-the-c300-with-the-aja-ki-pro-mini/ My impression is that the HD-SDI and HDMI outputs on the C300 only send out 8-bit 4:2:2 at 59.94i (so 3:2 pulldown with 24P material.)
