Re: [Avid-L2] Atmos Shogun

 

Honestly, I'd have given up on RS-422 control and just crash record it. Why not? Are you thinking you need to control it somehow? You can still use Digital Cut to crash record. And when it's done recording, pull the file in and use something like QTChange to alter the time code, if you even need time code.

[Avid-L2] Re: 8K to YouT ube

 

"YouTube did NOT licence H265 (HEVC), it sticks to H264 or worse codecs, so there is in fact a 4K limit."


YouTube doesn't need H265 because Google developed VP9 which it uses to support 4K and above. VP9 is part of WebM. Lightworks supports WebM. There is a WebM plug-in for Premiere Pro. Otherwise, you'll need a ProRes to WebM converter. And, you'll have to find a way to inject the 360 meta-tag into your upload.

If you are are using Safari which only supports h264 you cannot see 4K or greater. Been that way for over a year. Both Chrome and FireFox support VP9. Have no idea if MS Edge does. Doubt it.

More — just for fun!

Boxes like Roku 4K include a VP9 decoder for YouTube 4K. Anything from Amazon — and, I think Apple, — does not.

You also need to check 4K TVs. The Japanese wanted to stay with MPEG LA. Vizeo, for example, c/wouldn't get 4k YouTube. That may have changed.

I suspect you now need to check if a 4K HDR TV will decode a VP9 stream that has YouTube HDR metadata as well as decode H265 with HDR metadata. Hopefully, if both use HR10 they will be the same.

Seems the Japanese have eliminated Dolby from 4K BR. But I think the NHK/BBC HDR is still allowed because I believe that is how 8K will be broadcast in Japan and Korea in 2020. And, it may be used in the USA for 4K OTA — someday in ATSC 3.0.

Best Regards,
Steve Mullen

Re: [Avid-L2] Atmos Shogun

 


I haven't tried recently but I did back at 5.5 Avid build the reverse RS-422 cable, basically it swapped transmit and receives from pin to pin like a normal vtr cable and swapped pin 2 to 7 and 3 to 6 or some such thing.  I had a long thread on it several years back.  It did ultimately work and I was able to control Avid from a Digibeta with it appearing as the playback machine.  Fun experiment I think the cable is buried on my work bench which means I will probably find Hoffa before it.

I'm old fashioned and I like the "digital cut" step in the delivery process. I'm just modern enough that at the end of watching the real time output, I'd like to have a file. JB

Re: [Avid-L2] 8K to YouT ube

 

Meanwhile i've learned a few things more:

1) When shooting with a GoPro rig, one thing not to forget to put in your case is reading glasses.
2) YouTube did NOT licence H265 (HEVC), it sticks to H264 or worse codecs, so there is in fact a 4K limit. 
Even when the YT player shouts 8K, I  am pretty sure it's 4K.
(Ok, a few years back I thought that would be enough for the next decade, but nevertheless.)
So, YouTube's advice to upload 8K makes no sense at all! (My downscale is the same or better than YouTubes.)
3) When toying around with an Oculus (Or in my case, Oculus like glasses and a Samsung Galaxy) to see the end result, have bucket and mop handy, as you will need it.
