Gary McClurg Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Tried a search... even went through the threads as fast as I could... but does anyone know how much space it'll take up on hard drives for ediitng... Like a chump I stopped by and looked at the Viper at NAB just in case something happen and I forgot to ask this of the rep showing the camera... Just wondering in simple math... for example 5 gigs equals a minute of running time... Just wanting to know because the just in case might happen... in other words my producer friend and myself (I was to line produce) passed on a film because someone there isn't always nice... Well the day I had this funny feeling to look at the Viper was the day the new producer quick the project... and they're shooting on the Viper... so just thought I check it out.. Even went to the Thompson site but they didn't have any answers under their FAQ's pdf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Joyce Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I think in FilmStream mode using dual HD-SDI one hour would be something like 1,34TB. In normal single link HD-SDI it would be around 668GB pr. hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dan Goulder Posted April 22, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 22, 2007 In normal single link HD-SDI it would be around 668GB pr. hour. That's actually the dual link 4:4:4 rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Joyce Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) That's actually the dual link 4:4:4 rate. For traditional high-definition video production, the Viper FilmStream Camera also supports a full resolution RGB video mode and a YUV video mode via a single HD-SDI cable (1.485 Gb/s). The Viper FilmStream Camera transfers its output to data tape or disk recorder as a FilmStream datastream using a dual HD-SDI link as a carrier, with a combined data rate of 2.978 Gb/s. Now you have to tell me if I'm wrong because I might have completely misunderstood this, but here goes. Single link 1485 Gb/s /8 = 185,625 MB/s *60 = 11 137,5 MB/m *60 = 668 250 MB/h Edited April 22, 2007 by Alexander Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted April 22, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 22, 2007 Uncompressed 1920x1080 10-bit 4:4:4 is about 180 megabytes per second, plus audio if you're doing that, plus any other codec overheads. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
