Prospect HD/2K/4K v3.3.1 beta

Stephen Armour · May 30th, 2008, 01:36 PM

If we're using the 2K beta, does this linked file update it to the 4K? (since there's no 2K now...)

David Newman · May 30th, 2008, 01:46 PM

Email support@cineform.com, all current P2K users will get a new P4K serial number as a free upgrade.

P.S. For everyone else, today and tomorrow are the last days to upgrade to P2K so you get P4K upgrade for free -- a $500 saving.

I'll leave the Prospect 2K update link live through the weekend....

Thanks David, I just bought P2K and wanted to find the latest builds.

Thanks.

The beta for P2K is now P4K. For the latest release build, same place as always http://www.cineform.com/products/Dow.../Downloads.htm

David Taylor · May 30th, 2008, 05:26 PM

For those of you who have upgraded to P2K in preparation for your free upgrade to P4K....

Our new beta builds do not have P2K any longer. So you can either stay with the current P2K build or else install the Trial for P4K. If you install the P4K Trial, be sure to first uninstall P2K, then install P4K. You do NOT need to deactivate first.

Next week we'll post the method for getting the free upgrade to P4K activated.

This seems to have fixed the 720p SI-2K footage issue that I was having.

Thanks

Added added AspectHD and NEO-HDV betas.

Cedric Pottier · June 3rd, 2008, 02:12 PM

Hi David,
i've just uninstalled my aspect HD 5.2 to test Prospect HD with this beta version and each time i open a directory containing some CF avi files, explorer.exe always crashs !
do you know what happends ? i should test the stable version.

thanks
Cedric.

David Newman · June 3rd, 2008, 05:58 PM

Clearly that should not happen, not getting any other reports of that, not seeing that here either. Please contact support; we will need to details on the clips and your computer.

The best builds yet -- very close on version 3.3.1.

P4K http://www.miscdata.com/cineform/Pro....167-Setup.zip
NEO-4K http://www.miscdata.com/cineform/NEO....167-Setup.zip

Minor bug fixes and speed improvement to the decoder (significant, around 10% faster or less CPU required, particular for complex images, 444 and RAW.)

Cedric Pottier · June 4th, 2008, 03:10 PM

David,
i have uninstalled Prospect beta 3.3.1 and installed the stable version 3.3.0b164 and the crashes of explorer.exe are disapeared!
everythink is ok now.
i will opened a ticket if you want to investigate a little more.

regards,
cedric

Hi,

just installed the latest Prospect4K build. Everything worked fine, but I am missing the 25fps configs for 4K. And it doesn't seem to be possible to change the base-framerate afterwards.

I tried to create new files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Settings\en_US\CineForm but that did not work as there are lots of GUIDs that have a specific meaning I guess.

It seems to me that <FrameRate>10584000000</FrameRate> needs to be exchange with <FrameRate>10160640000</FrameRate>.

David, would it be possible to provide 25fps presets for the 4K 16:9 and 2:1 configs? Same for the 2K configs.

Thanks,
Jack

David Newman · June 5th, 2008, 08:42 AM

This is a case when too much knowledge is hurting you. You don't text edit the preset. Premiere creates them, so just use Premiere (that how we do it -- takes 10 seconds.) Select the 4K 24p present, click on custom, and select 25 fps, save the new preset (and you are done.)

David Newman · June 5th, 2008, 01:48 PM
