  • @har_k Many thanks for your cooperation, mate! :-) And I also appreciate the feedbacks from you. It seems that the characteristic of the newest GOLGOP3-13s are quite good.

  • @eminogrande OK, I have understood your intention. If I say honestly, I still cannot judge which is a best setting for you. It is because your choice is finally based on YOUR liking. All newest Valkyries, GOLGOP3-13s, and GOP3ZILLA3 are all-round settings. Please choose your favorite setting. They are the same record level in reliability.

    As my personal opinion, I choose GOP3ZILLA3 or latest GOLGOP3-13s in your situation. It is because I will feel if the selection holds the best balance FOR ME. :-)

  • So I was able to shoot at max bitrate on my cheapy transend class 6 card - sure there is a catch?! I have the latest patch -- Comment='Quantum' GH3 Matrix TRIAL 2
    Low cost Intra 24p/25p/30p using the new GH3 matrix.
    720p 3 GOP for 50p and 6 GOP for 60p.
    Needs testing.

    I wish there was an easy way to see what the latest patch is - a table or online DB :)

  • @bkmcwd

    I used "bkmcwd GOLGOP3-13-MAX2_BETA2" HBR(30p) mode.

    Thanks for amazing quality settings and your hard work!!

    *FILM MODE is NOS.(-2,0,+1,-2) and the lens is LUMIX X PZ45-175mm

    *SANDISK Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-I (95MB/s) 64GB

  • @bkmcwd thank you!

    Why do you suggest to also try Valkyries - would you suggest i just do test-shots with every different hack out there? I like to shoot in low light conditions (or inside buildings) and im also looking for a audio improvement. I need the camera to be an "allrounder", the best i can get, not perfekt at some details.

    I know all these hacks have their specialty - but which one do you think combines the best, solid quality?

    • normal filming (people/actor)
    • indoors / low light
    • minimum / slow / medium camera movements

    +

    • outdoor normal filming (again people)
    • movement (walking around filming the actor / moving cars, bus, trains)

    Oh, and I just found "VIDEO OUT - PAL", i guess thats the right one ;) thanks though for the link!

  • @eminogrande Thanks for using my setting! :-)

    IMHO, your choice is not wrong. However, I think that it is also worthy of trying Valkyries.
    Regarding switching between PAL and NTFS, please refer to here. http://www.personal-view.com/faqs/gh2-hack/gh2-hack-faq

  • Hey,

    im new into hacking my gh2. I spent the last two hours reading about hacks, watching videos and ended up here, installing the GOLGOP3-13-MAX2_BETA2

    My goal is to shoot people and classical movie scenes without any specials. Just beautiful, straight images. Im using the gh2 + voightländer 0.95. Also looking into anamorphic filming adding the sankor 16c.

    Did i made the right choice using the GOLGOP3-13-MAX2_BETA2 or would you suggest another hack?

    And one very basic question, where in the menu of the camera can i switch between PAL and NTFS...

    Thanks for any feedback.

  • @Monsterbox Only in 24p, Valkyrie uses high-bit rate most. However, in other modes, each setting may be the about the same.

    Although I think that GOP3ZILLA3 is the sharpest, GOLGOP3-13-MAX2 may be recommended if a skin tone is also more important.

    Since I have not tried the lens which you use, honesty, I am not sure whether it is the best. Please try GOLGOP3-13-MAX2, Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 and Valkyrie Cinema Smooth TYPE-ZERO2.

    EDIT: With my subjectivity, I think that GOLGOP3-13-MAX2 is suitable.

    Thanks for feedbacks from you! :-)

  • @bkmcwd Which one of your settings are the sharpest with the best skin tones and has the most bitrate? I'm using manual nikon lenses so the sharpest matrix is best for me. Let me know, thanks!

  • Although I am busy now, I plan to release "Valkyrie 444 TYPE-ZERO2 C1.5e" earliest possible. And the high version of Valkyrie Cinema Smooth TYPE-ZERO2 is also released as soon as possible. :-)

  • Sorry!

    Since I had uploaded wrong zip, I re-uploaded the corrected version.

  • @spreeni Thanks for good questions! :-)

    I'm now curious how you assess the quality of the new settings compared to the older ones. Stability should be the same, right?

    Regarding the newest BETA2, I consider that image quality has been improved from the previous GOLGOP3-13 settings. Of course, stability has not changed.

    However, honestly, the verification in PAL may be insufficient. Although my BETA Test Team has finished the test severe about reliability in NTSC, in PAL, it is verifying by only me. In PAL, there may still be room for an improvement. Therefore, I welcome the feedback in PAL from you.

    Is your latest GOP3 optimized Sedna matrix recommended for Panasonic lenses?

    Panny lenses are very sharp and also use many resources of a camera as known well. Therefore, a risk of a camera being frozen is high in using hacked GH2. I have designed the settings on the assumption that use with Panny lenses which are the severest conditions.

    Supposing you think that GOLGOP3-13s are also too sharp, you use Valkyries. Of course, these are also designed on the assumption that use with Panny lense.

  • @bkmcwd Thank you for your latest GOLGOP3-13-A2 settings. A few days ago you recommended me to test the older version:

    BTW, please also try previous GOLGOP3-13s by all means. http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/57882#Comment_57882 I think that this one may realize higher image quality from the latest version. It is under verification now.

    I'm now curious how you assess the quality of the new settings compared to the older ones. Stability should be the same, right? My prefered format is 1080i50 FSH and 720p50 SH, I'm mostly use Panasonic lenses, so ultra sharp matrixes are possibly not needed for my documentary-style. Is your latest GOP3 optimized Sedna matrix recommended for Panasonic lenses? What's your opinion?

  • @ GOLGOP3-13 lovers :-)

    "GOLGOP3-13-A2_BETA2" and "GOLGOP3-13-MAX2_BETA2"

    I release the new "GOLGOP3-13-A2" and "GOLGOP3-13-MAX2" settings.

    All of these matrices are the same as V1s. The main changed parts are having realized Freeze-les and high-bitrate in HBR and 720p. Regarding 60p, it returned to 9GOP from 6GOP. It is because 9GOP can realize high image quality by using bigger frame size.

    These are most stable until now and are high image quality GOLGOP3-13s, IMHO.

    Please try them! And many thanks for your feedbacks!

    *If these are also still unstable, I will further adjust.

    Special thanks to @har_k, @Mrhechang and @syoushow! :-)

    *Of course, already combined with excellent audio tune @thepalalias's "Pasadena_Pulse_Audio_V2_Beta2"


    NOTE:

    *Although bit rate setups are quite high, the bit rate which actually appears are lower than these. Since the actual bit rate changes by the object to shoot, please confirm by yourself.(Max bitrate : about 110M in 24p, about 75M in HBR.)

    *'MAX' versin and 'A' version are completely the same except 24p.

    *The original matrix is adopted in the newest GOLGOP3-13s. It is the middle of a Sedna matrix and a stock character. If it says plainly, it will be the Sedna matrix optimized in 3GOP structure.

    *24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with mega size I-frames in GOLGOP3-13-A.

    *24H and 24L are high quality 3GOP setting with super mega size I-frames in GOLGOP3-13-MAX.

    *24p80%(30p) is available in 24H & 24L both.

    *60i, 50i, HBR30p and HBR25p are also high quality and stable 3GOP settings.

    *720/50p is 6GOP and 720/60p is 9GOP. It has tuned up so that the bit rate at the time of motion may go up rather than the time of statics.

    *I especially recommend you use with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC card.

    *In camera playback is available in all rec mode except 24p in GOLGOP3-13-MAX, at least available after reboot the camera.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

    *EX Tele, iA mode work.(Not tested full yet, but probably)

    *Spanning in 24H, 24L with SanDisk 95MB/s 64GB SDXC Card. In other rec mode, need test.

    *Spanning in other cards needs to be tested.

    Sorry!!!

  • The following GOLGOP3-13 was done mostly. In this setting, though it is Freez-les, the bitrate must be still higher than previous versions, and I-frame size should also become large. If the result of this setting is good, I will be going to improve Valkyries similarly.

    I can be going to release new GOLGOP3-13 tomorrow. :-)

  • Thank you, i beginner

  • @supercharger

    change to NTSC for 24p, 30p, 60p...

    PAL for 25p, 50p... =o)

  • I'm sorry I'm Russian, I use a translator. I set your hack this firmware http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/gh2.html. All set, I get a higher bit rate. But can not get 30p HBR, FSH, FH have 25p How do I get 30p?

  • @supercharger Thanks for testing my settings! :-)

    but I can not find mode HBR30p FSH, SH, HBR I only 25p Please tell me how to set the mode 30p

    Excuse me, I do not understand your meaning. Please refer to wiki, if it is an affair of the method of reading an ini file into PTool.

  • Hello, I started to test your firmware, but I can not find mode HBR30p FSH, SH, HBR I only 25p Please tell me how to set the mode 30p

  • @everest_08 Since it seems that there is no cause in the setting, I have felt relieved. And, many thanks for evaluating Valkyrie. :-)

    But not flat enough is there another version after that?

    V2 of Valkyrie which adopted Flat4 matrix is the newest. UPDATE(2012/11/03):I have released Valkyrie Flat4 V2 'Apocalypse Now' with Driftwood's Flat 4 Matrix in all modeshttp://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/95494#Comment_95494

    Since there is also Valkyrie which adopted "444 matrix" and "Cinema Smooth matrix" as others, please try.

  • @bkmcwd now i just realised the program that i convert the mts is not good enough. When i play the mts file everything is working fine. I currently using the Valkyrie 444 flat. Very nice patch indeed. But not flat enough is there another version after that?

  • Cool thanks Man!!

  • @chazzmoe

    anyway to force the camera to use more bitrate other than lowering the Quantizer?

    The height of the appearing bit rate can be adjusted also with GOP tables. :-)
