If what you describe is true, why then, do I sometimes get the red clipping on the barber's pole, but only one or two channels clipped in the RGB path? You'd think the RGB channels would all show clip before the RAW (barber's pole) would clip? That is a...

One thing you can use is an IR Hot Mirror filter on the camera, it helps to reduce IR pollution in the image and is said to help cut down grain in low light __________________ Casey Schendel "Pick a job you love & you'll never work a day in your life" DIT Data Manager paying my dues to become a Cinematographer www.caseyschendel.com

Criterion DVDs or theirs Blu-ray are pretty respectable in my movie collection.

A good test of these cards is the AJA benchmark or similar sustained write benchmark that shows transaction performance on a graph. If the graph points go up and down rapidly like a racing heartbeat, then you're probably going to see dropped frames with the cards. There is a difference between sustaining 60MB/s and truly sustaining...

To get both to match correctly the camera needs to be rated at, or...

Jarred said they tested them and the cards dropped frames. I've personally bought one of the 64GB 90MB/s to test for a couple other applications. First off it's incompatible with most anything I tried to plug it into. Second of all, it was "fast", at times, but the performance was very erratic. Due to compatibility issues and performance issues the card didn't work for my non-RED purposes either so I sent it...

Rec709 rides way too close to RAW View exposure wise to protect highlights imho. Yes REDSPACE really lifts things way up....
