DBounce Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 So recently I had a chance to watch some footage that someone had captured at NAB from one of the prototype P4k cameras. BlackMagic would not allow us to insert a memory card into the camera. I was just about to do so, when I heard them warning another show attendee against doing so. After seeing the footage I understand why. It seems to be captured at a low frame rate. Almost like it's in a stills mode. We know the GH5S can capture raw stills at 12fps and 14 bit. So perhaps BMD was using a 12 bit stills mode to capture the video that we saw? All of this makes me wonder if or how the final specs will change. Do you think BlackMagic will deliver this camera as promised, or do you think something will be dropped? If so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Mason Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Those are not prototypes, they are fully functional pre-production samples. The ProRes clips I've seen are UHD 24fps, fully working with natural motion. Maybe the materials you've seen had a different setting, or the card speed too low with dropped frames.

Robert Collins Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 If you happen to stupid enough, like me, to buy into kickstarter projects, you would realize that a company's ability to realize a project is inversely proportional to the attractiveness of the price, specs and timing of the product they promise.

jonpais Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think we should be talking about the successor to the P4K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
