    I just finished testing Cluster X Nebula 6b in NTSC mode using Panasonic 14-140 lens with both my outdoor for detail test and indoor for spanning test. All recording modes (24H, HBR, FSH, SH) recorded with no problems including full zooming and iA mode in outdoor sunny detail scenes using Sandisk 64GB 95mbs card. Spanning worked for 24H, HBR and FSH. HBR and FSH even spanned using Sandisk 32GB 30mb/s card. However, SH stopped at 4GB mark after recording little over 15 minutes with both 64GB 95mb/s and the 32GB card. The quality is very good with high frame sizes in Streamparser.

    Hello. Headed up to Alaska for a two week shoot. Was going to use the GH2 for inserts and specialty shots (C300 is the A-Cam). Network requires 60i acquisition. Do you have a suggestion for a preferred Cluster X for shooting 1080i? Thanks!

    Just tried out Moon for spanning. Used a Transcend 32gig card at first. I got:

    HBR mode: 53mbps, spans 24H mode: 126mbps, does not span. 24L mode: 80mbps, spans

    Tried using a Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gig to test spanning at 24H: didn't span. (Once again, the 64gig version of this card seems to be needed.)

    Excellent demo of moon and flowing motion @MichaelT

    @danielortegajan Very nice premiere video using Cluster X DREWnet Trial 8 :-)

    @danielortegajan looks great!seems the images held up well to grading.

    Hey there! My first video with the gh2 + panaleica 25mm (+cheap nd filter) and the cluster x trial 8 hack standart seetings, 24p and 720p for the slowmotion. colorgraded. what do you think? cheers, Daniel

    Moon on standard 0 -2 0 -2 with a mild color grade and contrast/brightness adjustment Just noticed my spelling mistake in the title, and am on my way to fix it

    Thank you @driftwood, you're the man!

    @T1000 @olegkalyan

    moon (and other Cluster X settings) is driven by Initial QP/QP Parameter values over a nominal matrix which attempts to average the same level of quantisation throughout the whole picture ALL THE TIME and work for the whole array of shots.

    Whereas, the earlier settings employ low value set matrices to drive quantisation of the picture to unprecedented levels (as found in Intravenus, Boom, cbrandin etc...) which work superbly for in-tight to medium shots but not so good on busy wide shots as on high detail/wide/busy shots quant runs out of power and can only offer low values for the upper part of the picture.

    Cluster X settings represent better value overall as the matrices employed are measured to the QP parameter setting for the whole picture to fully make use of the bitrate available to the GH2.

  • olegkalyanolegkalyan

    I am confused, like Nebula, would it be better with C. Brandin matrix? What is best matrix overall for all settings, with more color information? Thank you, everyone working in the pipeline!

  • T1000T1000

    Hello everyone! In your experience which patch has better results: Moon or Intravenus Variation 2 w/ C Brandin Cinema Smooth and why?

  • emynachemynach

    Thank's @shrigg. Yes, I know the 45/mb is not recommended. i think my next card will be the 64gb 95/mb. i just wanted to know if it spans on this card before i buy it.

  • KolbasaKolbasa

    Because of slow motion I think.

    @matt_gh2 all just steady handheld no post work or image stabilization

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @DeShonDixon Video looks great. Great camerwork movement really matched style/personality of performers. I'm curious how you got the movement to be so smooth. Did you shoot handheld or were you on tripod, stabikizer, a shoulder rig, or something else? OIS image stabilization with lens? Stabilization in editing?

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @towi Thanks again for your help but I was always under the assumption that we transcoded files to broadcast range instead of full range in 5DtoRGB. Am I wrong in this thinking? I can swear I've read it time and time again and maybe even from Shian. But there's a high chance I'm wrong. I transcoded a few files to full and I can see the change at the bottom for sure of the blacks extending a little further. It also flattens out the footage which is what I assume you meant by my files looking aver saturated after I sent em through 5D.

    @emynach @driftwood DrewNET Trial 8 spans fine on Sandisk 30 MB/s card and plays back in camera after power cycling. Very nice setting with improved blacks detail!

  • WarLightUKWarLightUK

    @albert_dt1 Yeah I didn't have any issues with 24H either... Spans beautifully...

  • albert_dt1albert_dt1

    @WarLightUK I`m using 24H setting.

  • WarLightUKWarLightUK

    @albert_dt1 Which setting did you use Albert? I really like moon - great quality overall... And I am hoping to get an update from @driftwood to make HBR 25p span as well...

  • albert_dt1albert_dt1

    I tested moon trial 5 and spanned on my 32gb Transcend SDHC class 10 card!
