GH2 NEW TOOL Katana

frullaccia — Mon, 17 Oct 2016 10:19:51 +0000

Waiting for GH5, this is a new hack for GH2. Two versions. All Intra. 720 and 1080-60 have to be tested. This hack uses Pasadena Pulse Audio by Per Lichtman.

Burlesque Show with GH2 HBR 25p & Voigtlander 50m f1.1

PhilMyself — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:40:06 +0000

Test filming in HBR mode (1080p25) with very safe "hack" at 33 mbts.

First use of a voigtlander nokton 50mm 1.1. that I've just received. Great lense ! All manual control.

I thought this would be funny to shoot. And a much more interesting subject for the test than the usual garden tree... :)

Export with Clipwrap. Edited in FCP7 with no color correction.

Music : Betty Hutton "Stuff like that there".

Edius project presets for new 1.1 HBR

LongJohnSilver — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 09:31:33 +0000

As title, Someone using Edius and latest software knows which project setting must be chosen to correctly import the new HBR files. (30p in 60i or 25p in 50i)

Thank you in advance

25p for NTSC gh2 (from USA)

Hi,

I have a brand new GH2 (couldn't wait for GH3) form B&H for cheap.

I installed Apocalipse Now patch and I can't find a way to shoot in the best quality at 1080 25p (progressive). Looks like there's some option for 1080 25i, but not in HBR mode (as I understand this is the best quality mode) . In HBR it can make only 30p.

Is it possible to record in HBR mode in 25p? I could'n find the exact answer around.

Well, if it's no possible to shoot 1080 25 progressive , maybe I have to sell it... :(

Is there some hope for my case?

Thank you in advance.

What hacked bitrate does "High Bit Rate" (HBR) adopt?

dualreality — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:25:03 +0000

This is my first post so I'd like to first thank the Personal View team for such a tremendous resource. I bought a GH2 in January and have been blown away by its capabilities.

I have been playing with various hacks and have a question regarding the High Bit Rate mode (HBR). If I apply a firmware hack, what bit rate does the HBR adhere to? For example, in the Driftwood AQuamotion v2 .ini file, there is the following information:

Video Bitrate 24H=100000000 Video Bitrate 24L=88000000 Video Bitrate FSH/SH=68000000 Video Bitrate FH/H=56000000

But "HBR" isn't in there. Does HBR adopt one of the above bit rates instead? If so, which one exactly?

I'm using a European model GH2 (PAL), I don't know if that should make any difference to my question.

Many thanks.

GH2 adds missing AVCHD 29.97PsF… but worsens its already non-standard HDMI output

Icarus Patch - Just For HBR (current: 0.0.6 60mbps 25p stable, GOP6)

Athiril — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:12:17 +0000

LATEST: Icarus Alpha Test 0.0.6

Updated to GOP6 from GOP5, to fix stuttering.
up to 60mbps
2x trick mode in some scenes (Death chart)
QP16
Borrowed I, P, B frame scaling from Flowmotion
Improved Stability, so far have not been able to crash this in any test

Icarus 0.0.6 (indoor scene, f/2.8, 24mm, ISO3200, custom WB) (first couple seconds had rough motion, second half of bitrate distribution is what you normally see fairly static, where as movement scales up the B frames), typical B frames larger than Flowmotion's I frames.

Flowmotion 1.11 (same as above), much lower bitrate (imho it just cannot deliver with HBR modes), also crashes death charts with speed errors.

See what you think.

This is currently an Alpha Test. It needs more testing, but since I am pursuing the best HBR can offer, I've always found full daylight to be the bane of any attempt at raising HBR bitrate, I shall see how it performs in the morning in that regard.

My cinematography showreel (a lot of GH2 stuff in there).

I hope I don't get warned for blatant self-advertising, but I just wanted to share my shoowreel here, there's some GH2 stuff in there (some of it hacked, one shot in the HBR mode). Here's a breakdown: First shot, done with HBR mode and Lomo OCT-19 primes 0:26 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AI primes

0:37 HBR with Lomos

0:48 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

0:56 HBR with Lomos

01:02 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

01:03 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

01:11 HBR with Lomos

01:18 Stock AVCHD with Nikon AIs

01:37 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

01:40 Cbrandin 66mbit with Lomos

01:42 HBR with Lomos

01:55 Driftwood GOP-3 with Nikon AIs

02:04 HBR with Lomos

02:14 HBR with Lomos

(sorry for the double spacing, but otherwise it would all just fall behind each other)

This really shows what an amazing camera the GH2 is! Even unhacked it looks amazing (I think what I got with HBR looks the best to me, but that has more to with my work).

There's also some anamorphic stuff in there, done with my generic anamorphic on an AF100 with a Nikon AI 35mm (third shot, you'll recognize the rest)
