In addition, a LUT box is required for monitoring the live grade going out to the director and video village monitors. The UltraStudio 4K Extreme is a better choice. For this reason this unit can not be used near or on-set when recording sound. I don’t recommend the UltraStudio 4K because of the noise (average 77dB SPL 5 feet) the internal turbine produces to dissipate the heat. To overcome this situation a video interface I/O that integrates both I/O in one device is recommended, like the BMD Ultra 4K Extreme, leaving one thunderbolt free. The reason for the use of a single computer is that very often the location doesn’t permit us to bring the full DIT cart or the desktop computer on-set. Unless, of course, we are using two computers, as I do when possible, one for data management: backup and dailies, and a dedicated one for color management. This leaves us with no option for data management thunderbolt I/0 devices on-set. The downside of this configuration is that it uses both thunderbolt ports of a Laptop or desktop computer, because none of the UltraStudio Minis have thunderbolt loop. It requires both, one to capture the live video signal or for grabbing stills, (the Mini Recorder), and the Mini Monitor for sending the signal to the monitor chain. Geoff, thanks once again for sharing the results of your test.ĭifferent from the static workflow set up you are using in this test and the hardware configuration your are intending to use on-set, requires more than a single BMD UltraStudio Mini recorder or the Mini Monitor. I’ll be creating a webpage of these results in the next day or so which will be complete with the images used and generated. I think these results are pretty much within the margin of error using the Mac colour tool to measure them! I then measure what the results were in Grey, and RGB, I also tried the full look loaded in Lattice. I then set Resolve to Alexa IDT and sRGB ODT and rendered the output to TIFF again. The same jpg was then loaded into Resolve in ACEScc mode IDT and ODT and the complete LUT from Prelight loaded and rendered out to a TIFF. The jpg that was the result of the above process was loaded into Prelight and a very simple grade applied, this was then output as a LUT in 2 forms, the first was grade only, the second IDT, RRT, Grade & ODT combined. In reality I will use BMD mini thunderbolt SDI adapter for input from camera to Prelight. ari file loaded into ARC and output as Logc Wide gamut jpg, this is to try and simulate what would happen next if we were using the camera output directly. I’m sharing these results on the basis that they are the first look and all the software used is either beta or in the process of being updated! I’ve just published this to CML but I thought it would be of interest here as well…
