[Avid-L2] Re: Canon 7D observations

Taxi cab yellow, always a RGB Gamma alarm festival on a Tek scope. It's like a Christmas tree lighting every frame, thank god for legalizers, wish I had a good one. I'm tired of riding the secondaries.

I haven't gotten too deep into the menus but I wish I could raise the pedestal a bit. Also, a lot of compression artifacts, I'm guessing because of the h.264 codec. blue sky has a lot of blocky looking compression artifacts. I also shot some yellow taxis driving by. Moving they look fine. If I park on a frame, there are similar blocky breakups in the yellow color. These seem pretty major and I hope with a future FW update, I can either change recording codecs, or even better, have live HD output from HDMI to record to an external box (nanoflash) without h.264. When exposed properly, or slightly under exposed, the gamma range is pretty impressive. More to come.
