Hanriverprod 208 Posted May 25, 2016 Is the kinemon port a proprietary port for their kinemon monitor? Also, I'm assuming the hd port type A is hdmi. Trying to figure out if I need the kineback. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending what kind of work you do, I'm not sure that's an upgrade. Cineform has better compatibility (I'm a Windows user) and is more robust then 422HQ.

I think there are a lot of people who just prefer Prores though for whatever reason as it was mentioned several times. 13 hours ago, Hanriverprod said: Is the kinemon port a proprietary port for their kinemon monitor?

Their old version of Kinegrip for the KineMini and Max never lasted anywhere near the claimed time in the manual despite optimizing power settings as instructed.

I think there are a lot of people who just prefer Prores though for whatever reason as it was mentioned several times. I suppose the main advantage is for corporate/commercial work, as a lot of clients specifically request ProRes deliverables. But having played with Kinefinity Cineform files, I'd stick with that unless absolutely necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elagabalus 10 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm just worried because Blackmagic botched the release of URSA Mini. Maybe Kinefinity have problems with magenta corners and switchable shutter, too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've never put out products with bugs like that before, and bungling such a widely anticipated release could haunt them forever. I'm guessing they'll put out a problem-free product at any cost. 1 IronFilm reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neosushi 130 Posted June 21, 2016 Also we don't know if the Terra is using the same sensor as the Ursa mini. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elagabalus 10 Posted June 21, 2016 Quote TERRA Production Update: it is pity that we have to delay the shipping date for another month. We hope we could bring first batch of TERRA 6K at the end of Jul, but exact shipping date for specific person is not promised. Based on our experiences on production, the shipping will be very soon after first batch cameras released. :). Actually, the two reasons for delay: 1. we are waiting distribution license of ProRes from Apple, even we passed tech certification on it. 2. We are still optimizing on internal hardware board for production. Hope you would understand it.

TheRenaissanceMan 995 Posted June 22, 2016 RAW being the only alternative? Yes, I think we need ProRes. Plus, still optimizing hardware board for production? I'd rather they finish that before they start handing out cameras. 1 IronFilm reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
