Kaku Ito · January 11th, 2008, 09:52 AM

darn, we should change the title of this thread to misconduct people then.

Chris Hurd · January 11th, 2008, 11:41 AM

Done -- thread title changed from Yeah, finally AVCHD with 24p and overcrank from Panasonic to AVCHD with 24p from Panasonic.

Thanks Chris.

Shame on you, Pana! Why not 720p60 ?!

Kaku Ito · January 13th, 2008, 07:49 PM

yes, they could've done it could they?

720/60p is implemented within AVCHD format (http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html), but probably it takes one another step up on the encoder chip to realize it?

I suppose Sanyo makes their own chip (non AVCHD though) to support 60p with Xacty HD1000.

Panasonic need to utilize latest Ambarella H.264 chip which able to do 1080p60 :)

I thought it was called Scarlet. And has it been officially confirmed to be 2K?

Yes, Scarlet. My mistake. (I think I posted that while listening to one of Trey Gunn's solo albums.)

Regarding 2K, please see this post:

Jim Jannard replied that it was a good find, but that things can change...

So, it's not "officially" confirmed, but it's a good bet!

Jannard has not been one to say something he knows can be easily misinterpreted (so that people reasonably infer 4K when he actually meant <2K is possible). So, while 2K is a safe bet, don't rule out either 1080p or 4K. Has Red actually confirmed that Scarlet is a camcorder rather than a still camera?

Jon Fairhurst · January 15th, 2008, 12:13 PM

Yes. I recall a statement that Scarlet is a moving picture camera.

The line into the Red booth this April will not be short...

Oh, there's one like that? Sounds promising.

This SD9 does use new chip that they created, not sure of the real capabilities of the chip itself but it is explained in the catalog that they significantly made it smaller by consolidating three chips into one.
