@szkhdms Same approximate cut of the sensor, but with a different pixel size and lithography. But yes, they benefit from the IMX811 factory process for sure.

These are wide open at T1 on RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV. Center frame is a crop in. Impressive performance and low chromatic aberrations wide open. Digging T2 and T2.8 too. Did some more stress tests on this and a few other upcoming lens releases. Will be sharing more of that shortly. Cheerios. #cinematography #lens #glass
@geoffkeighley The last time I was down at IMAX HQ for a private screening, your father gave me a bunch of 70mm strips. Whenever I get this bucket, those strips are going inside with it living on a shelf in the home.

A big sensor with a maximum format size of 53.75x35.83mm and an image circle of 64.60mm. I have added some relevant frame extractions/formats/crops for common aspect ratios to phfxtools. 36x24mm comes out to 6.4K and common wide screen aspect ratios come in around the 60mm-ish image circle. Lots of new emerging medium format/65mm glass sprouting up now. Somewhat timely. #cinematography
Fairly excited to see this new breed of @nvidia N1X chips inside @Windows Laptops and compact Desktops. But already curious how it can play a roll in motion picture & gaming industry workflows and potentially what a 2-4X larger chipset could do considering the power efficiency.

I tested 50 and 100Gbps here late last year, but next realistic bump will be 10Gbps, perhaps two lines in tandem. I work in MB/s mentally. I've been on 5 gig for a while, which tops around 625MB/s. 10 gig = 1150MB/s, 20 gig mo fasta, but likely unneeded.
For filmmakers and studio friends, the big transition has been moving from sending drives everywhere when we hit 1 gig long ago last decade, and now the majority of dailies, RAW footage, and finals are shipped via the web. Even uncompressed 16-bit high resolution material, full feature length projects. Drives delivery still happens however, but extraordinarily rare these days for my clients.
Mostly reflecting on times working with earlier days of digital, web, and even film. Hand delivery via courier, sometimes hopping on international flights with highly sensitive material for unreleased projects or even technology. If you have transported O-Neg on a plane to a lab, you know the importance of that 1 of 1 baby to deliver.
Though encrypted drives help solve some concerns, it doesnt solve all. But, it is nice having a secure transfer between two parties and being relatively worry free as long as you both are doing things right. Smooth as glass and fast, which is notable in a world of tight delivery windows and highly demanding deadlines.
I'm documenting my workflow on my current project, fairly in depth, will likely make a concise writeup. Not too new, but as always, evolving.

@TheCinesthetic I worked on this and can say a couple things. A lot could be done better now, but when we saw this completed sequence in dailies then at the premiere with full sound mix it was incredibly moving to see Superman doing Superman things for the first time at this level.

But in all honesty, this waterfall provides the exact level of release and relaxation needed midday today while chewing on a few decisions and considerations.

Asked by many, as there have been a lot of recent releases with Mount and ND Mount compatability issues, happy to report the Arcanas (the first three focal lengths at least) work with all of the PL ND mounts I have here. This is the RED eND, but tested these with some KipperTie, Breakthrough Filters, and others. Mofage hasn't shipped or sent me a Poco II to test, but I suspect these will work with those as well. As always, test for sanity's sake, but they fit and work. #cinematography #anamorphic #lens
