Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max vs 14 Pro https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/27902/apple-iphone-15-pro-max-vs-14-pro- Sat, 23 Sep 2023 22:45:08 +0000 PauloTeixeira 27902@/talks/discussions Ended up getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max and decided to do some comparisons to my older 14 Pro.

Few night scenes around Boston using the native camera app. First clip is the 14 Pro, second clip is the 15 Pro Max and so on.

Indoor low light test: Top clip is the 15 Pro Max and bottom clip is the 14 Pro.

Used the new Blackmagic camera app to try and match the settings. Only difference is that for the 15 Pro Max, it can go down to an ISO of 55 while for the 14 14 Pro, it goes down to an ISO of 57. I set both to the lowest it can be.

Another video using the Blackmagic app and this time just the iPhone 15 Pro. Used all 3 lenses. Ultra wide, regular wide and 5x telephoto.

Really stinks that the light from the floor gets reflected onto the glass.

Unfortunately the camera sensors in the iPhone 15 Pro phones are the same as the 14 Pro phones. Main sensor still the Sony IMX803. Sony has better sensors but it looks like Apple wanted to save money in the sensor department this time. At the very least, Apple should have used the IMX903 which is a little bigger. Same situation with the new GoPro Hero12 camera since it uses the Hero11's sensor.

One of my biggest headaches of the previous iPhones was the slow transfer speeds when it comes to putting videos on my PC. With the USB C, the speeds are way faster but it's not the fastest it could have been. it's 10Gbps. Would have liked a thunderbolt to get speeds of 40Gbps. Still way faster than previous gen iPhone Pro phones. The 15 and 15 Plus phones on the other hand are still the same speeds as the previous gen phones.

Speaking of USB C, we'll be able to hook up an SSD and record ProRes straight to it. Unfortunately Apple isn't enabling it for H.265 files on the native app. It does work on the BlackMagic app.

We can find things inside and outside of us that we do not like and that are more difficult for us to address and assimilate.

Some hurt, others make us angry, others embarrass us, make us sad, make us feel guilty, fill us with doubts... And sometimes we need time, time to be prepared, time to feel, time to accept it and if we wish, change it.

Sensor line readout process https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/27674/sensor-line-readout-process Fri, 07 Apr 2023 13:54:13 +0000 joethepro 27674@/talks/discussions image

Looking at something like this sensor readout table for an x-h2s from dpreview, I was trying to understand how one would interpolate to find the readout speed for 1080p240. The 240p on this camera is exceedingly soft, supposedly because of the sensor resolution and needing more lines to be skipped because there is not enough speed available to do a full pixel readout even at the 1.38x extra crop.

So when we talk about reading the sensor lines, does it read the lines pixel by pixel, or somehow read the entire line in one instance?

I had initially assumed it was pixel by pixel across each line. In this thinking I was looking at the relationship between rez and timing, which definitely doesn't appear to be linear (6.2k --> UHD 4K is 3x MP drop but only 20% speed increase). But when considering lines vs MP, for each doubling in lines there is a 4x increase in resolution. So depending on if these readouts are based on total res or just number of lines will definitely affect those calculations.

Bought an FX3, what i like so far, what i don´t. (comercial video samples) https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25790/bought-an-fx3-what-i-like-so-far-what-i-dont.-comercial-video-samples Thu, 01 Jul 2021 18:04:10 +0000 endotoxic 25790@/talks/discussions Well, many years since making a change for my personal camera.

After a well though process, i make the choice of getting the FX3. Same as FX6 for me, since i know i can do with that sensor. What i like over other cameras of its range are mainly 2 things. The ability to record high frame rate at real 10 bit 4:2:2 at 600mbps and the S&Q mode for even higher frames at 1080p 240p. The other was the high dynamic range of the sensor at any frame-rates and at many iso. Very consistent 14 stops overall on different ISO levels. Overall size performance i think is very good.

It has a more organic character than other sony 4k sensors, less resolution for what i see. I like the look since depends very much on lenses in this sensor, you can really tell.

Downers for me, is the iso noise performance, and the complexity of video formats for different results. You cant use XAVC HS for the same shot as XAVC 4k and XAVC HD I all react differently at S&Q mode, there is more noise and lower quality but you get diferente cadence and behavior.

its like the camera had almost 4avc modes x2, movie mode, and S&Q mode, that is like 8 type of personalities. Each setting behave VERY differently from each other. ITS never getting consistent results switching from different modes affects grain structure and compression too much, specially noise behaviour.

Also Batery life is very poor, and it does heat a lot even though you have the fan active all the time, specially at S&Q mode.

I can be sure, that this affects very much noise structure on the sensor level and does affect low quality S&Q modes cos bad cache and real time compression of high frame rates.

Overall the performance is for me best sensor for the price since final color can be tweaked for better performance all around. It doesn't match the black magic color Depth and quality but online there si no such a difference when using RAW output.

memory IS EXPENSIVE, but needed if you want maximum quality since it works as cache for processing high output.

Some work ive done this weeks past two weeks. Its difficult to nail low light low noise and good DR, you looses alot of resolution at 1080p 240p

s-cineton IS AMAZING color grading make easy.

ALL SETING FOR THIS WORK WHERE : Sony FX3: XAVC HD-I 1080p, 240p, ISO 12,800, S-Cinetone 89mbps. XAVC 4k-I 4kp, 120p, ISO 12,800 S-Cinetone 600mbps Colorista IV on Premiere pro

CONCLUSIONS:

The image finally looks compressed. Not like Panasonic S-series, which its clolors is close to Blackmagic cameras in final image. Its not bad AT ALL, but since arri fuck as all long time ago, and Black magic is the nearest in looks, sony is the one that looks the least "cinematic" even though technically is a grate camera.

Not a bad choice for exactly what my reasons where behind its acquisition. Big flexibility, very compact body, high Dynamic range, full frame, high frame rate, real 10 bit. Im planing on entering more the table top and visual engineering side of business, and this is a grate choice for a good start for what will become eventually a phantom flex, with a bolt arm attached and 2 engineers problem solving different shootings.

Accsoon SeeMo HDMI adapter to use the iPhone as a Monitor. Can also do live streaming. https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/27362/accsoon-seemo-hdmi-adapter-to-use-the-iphone-as-a-monitor.-can-also-do-live-streaming.- Sat, 29 Oct 2022 20:21:28 +0000 PauloTeixeira 27362@/talks/discussions

Decided to buy it. Live stream video I just did while hooked up to the GH6. Camera setting on fully automatic. A lot of reviews out their about using it as a monitor but almost nothing about the live streaming capabilities so here's my experience.

You can record 1080p60 to the phone but for livestreaming, it's going to YouTube as 1080p30 for some reason. I told the company about that days ago and they said they'd look into it. They announced that the device will be getting an update with some improvements and I hope 1080p60 streaming become part of it. I checked the upload speed for my phone before I started shooting and was getting about 90 to 100Mbps and so I was able to choose the highest bit rate on the device which is 30. The video quality is decent but as for the audio, its not as great. I'm hearing some clicking sounds. Not sure why that is.

For streaming, you need to get on YouTube using a phone web browser to set your title and description. You'll also need to copy the stream key and then paste it into the SeeMo app. It's a simpler process if you live stream with your phone using the Live Now app. With that said, they said they'll allow other app makers to make the product compatible with their app. Live now would be a good candidate since your able to stream in 4K with your phone. Just by using the YouTube app, your only limited to 720p.

Because Apple decided to still use an ancient lightning port on the iPhone 14 Pro, your not able to have external power going from the device to the phone. You'd need to get a Magsafe charger.

"Hey ALL Accsoon SEE iOS App users. We will update the App for a better user experience and here are the updates: We will put the monitoring functions on the top so you won't accidentally quit the App when swapping the icons. You can choose which sound channel you'd like and we improved the Audio Level UI design. When the WiFi's connected to the SONY camera, and the camera is under recording, you can control the camera recording via the App. * (some models only and still under testing) The App now supports iOS battery level indication. Let us know how you like these updates and if you have anything that you'd like to have in the Accsoon SEE App."

I also recorded straight to the GH6 at the same time. You'll be able to compare the video and sound quality. Video is currently in 1080p60 and will be in 4K 60fps within the next day or 2 once processing is finished.
