HD100 Frame grabs

The frame grab is straight off of the mt2 file playing Nero Showtime.

As of yet, I have not done any editing. My plan is to use
Vegas with Cineform, or Edius Pro 3.61

ok now that looks correct. The tiff clearly shows the 2x2 pixel blocks in the chroma.

For some strange reason your jpegs show a highly smoothed blurred and interpolated chroma. I compared both and they are as clear as night and day. This is why I was confused. I never heard of jpegs smoothing chroma by that much. This tiff looks exactly right.

Very nice footage by the way.

Thanks Thomas,
I'm really enjoying this camera. Everything about it is pro.

I believe a lot of people are waking up to how well the HD100 performs - especially for $6K !

I'm now a JVC fan for sure.

I wonder if the fact that the tiff is not from the same exact frame makes any difference. I guess that different points in the stream might lead to slightly different results. Just speculating...

these grabs remind me Deadwood HBO series.. the same dramatic, crashed blacks look. Pretty cool)

Mike the blacks were probably crushed to much.

Today, I used the same color matrix, but went with Tim's suggestion
with knee at 80%, and black stretch 3.

This renders better overall lattitude and pulled better detail in the blacks.
