@@topicruben Hey just so you know (at least from what I understand) they're both 16-bit. While Braw is advertised as 12 bit, it's actually 12-bit log, which converts to 16-bit linear. If you look at the metadata in Davinci you'll see that to be the case. I know that confused me for awhile too. Glad to hear the Komodo also has a fantastic image!

@@thejoe4975its not the same as 16bit linear else they wouldn’t turn into 12bit log. It’s like saying an mp3 is the same as a 32bit float recording because the difference is imperceptible to human hearing. Does it matter for 99% of productions? No. That’s probably also why ProRes is still an industry standard while lacking RAW features.

@@MrCoffis I don't now about that. I know Arri does something similar where they record in 13-bit log which translates to 18-bit linear in post. If you don't believe me it's on their website. I'd be happy to learn something new if I'm wrong though.
@MrCoffisАй бұрын
@@thejoe4975 am no expert but afak you can not make 12bit into 16bit or 13bit into 16bit. You can do the opposite though. You are applying a log curve to the data points which mimic the response to light of human vision. Essentially you are compressing the data resulting in smaller file sizes but you are losing data points because of the step down. You can turn 12 bit log into linear but it won’t be 16bit anymore, at least not like the sensor recorded it. So you are losing information but because of the log curve can fit the full dynamic range in a way that looks natural to the human eye. A human eye gets less sensitive with more light vs the sensor has same sensitivity resulting in extreme amounts of data in the highlights since every stop of light means 2x amount of data. So data goes exponential (graph of data vs stops of light) vs the eye has a log response, (so it will be somewhat linear on brain data vs stops of light graph). So we apply a log curve on to the 16 bit data end merge data points together resulting in less datapoints that still look normal to us humans. It’s like having an ever increasing resolution at the high end when you don’t really need it, so you put a log 🪵 on to it. That’s as far as I understand it.

I just ran a test for you, and calibrating the sensor took about 2 minutes. However, I did it right after turning on the Komodo in the morning. The correct way should be to let it arrive at a specific temperature because maybe the "T" will turn green by itself, so in that case, you don't have to do any calibration. I hope I'm clear enough.

I really do not look back to my pocket 6k pro since I „upgraded“ to a Komodo x Specially when the basic conversion luts and settings for raw handling is set. Image out of the box is already such a game changer. Having a bazillion more cables are the only set back to me. Understanding how to set ISO is also changing a lot when you use a red Komodo as it has no native iso. Changing iso basically shifting the dynamic range.
