1
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:14,120
for the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC look no further than the

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,760
obsidian series 250d from Corsair click now to learn more the black magic cinema

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,960
camera our new camera by the way very excited has been on the market long

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:28,880
enough now that I'm not going to spend a bunch of time talking about the specs other than a few key ones here it has a

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,840
2 1/2k sensor intended to be downscaled

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:36,120
to deliver sharper than normal 1080P or 2K it's got 13 stops of dynamic range

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:40,920
which basically amounts to less detail lost in the highlights and low lights

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:47,719
and it can shoot in uncompressed cinema dng raw Avid dnxhd and apple proor

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,399
versus AVCHD which is what we're stuck with on our fs700 unless we use an

10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,559
external recorder it includes a key for Da Vinci resolve which is otherwise a

11
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,239
$1,000 piece of software which is pretty darn cool and it comes in a very pretty

12
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,720
box which won't matter one fish is nipple to most people but I like boxes

13
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,439
so there you go they're great at box design now they're great at other things

14
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,320
too black Magic's design philosophy is a little bit different from other

15
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:17,600
companies they emphasize building what we can versus what the market will be

16
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:22,640
willing to buy for a given price and they emphasize Open Standards rather

17
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,119
than closed proprietary bille ones in

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,920
fact one of the most notable things about this camera for me is a great

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:34,079
example of that and that's the use of 2 and 1/2 in PC ssds for recording

20
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:39,880
standard computer ssds are probably one of the only relatively inexpensive

21
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,840
mediums that is capable of delivering

22
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:49,079
strong enough performance to handle the massive 150 megabytes per second data

23
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,759
rate required by 12bit raw 2 and 1/2k

24
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:56,399
recording while other recording Solutions sometimes do use 2 and 1/2 in

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:01,399
ssds convergent design is one of them most other companies choose to use

26
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,240
firmware to lock down recording media to

27
00:02:01,399 --> 00:02:08,000
proprietary drives which deliver consistent performance sure but are much

28
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:12,640
more expensive Blackmagic takes an open approach and allows you to use whatever

29
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:17,680
SSD you want which when you consider that a 256 gig Drive holds only about 30

30
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,040
minutes of raw footage is pretty nice but this open approach has some

31
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,879
drawbacks for them and allowing a customer to put drives with inadequate

32
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,239
performance in the camera will lead to dropped frames in the footage and a bad

33
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,000
customer experience for which black magic could easily be blamed which leads

34
00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:39,640
us nicely into the second part of this video which is both I guess a a feature

35
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,519
for Kingston's hyperx 3 KSD and a bit of a public service announcement now

36
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:49,519
Kingston was kind enough to send us over three 480 gig drives for our recording

37
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:52,239
needs this will let us shoot about 3

38
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:56,840
hours of uncompressed raw footage without offloading to a PC which is

39
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,879
great and in exchange all they wanted was for us to talk about why their SSD

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,319
is great for you use with this camera which is easy because it's right on

41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,480
black Magic's validated Drive list so there you go yay moving on no seriously

42
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,080
I should probably give some background as to why it's on there hyperx 3K drives

43
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:20,400
deliver great performance in this use case because they use realtime data

44
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,840
compression to take the large files that you produce while filming and turn them

45
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:30,120
into something smaller on the Fly before committing them to the flash chips on

46
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:34,760
the SSD this is actually similar to how other video compression standards like

47
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,959
h264 work except for one major difference when you read the data back

48
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:45,159
off of a hyperx 3K drive it decompresses it on the Fly again delivering the full

49
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,920
quality file to you without you ever noticing that it was stored in a

50
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,480
compressed form this technology is perfect here because uncompressed raw

51
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:58,040
footage is right in the Wheelhouse of sandforce controller based SSD drives

52
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:02,439
allowing them to perform pretty near optimally and of course they're just

53
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:06,439
standard pcssd so the same Tech works in your computer as well on the back we

54
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:12,840
find a 5 in 800x480 capacitive touchcreen that can

55
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,120
be used for uh camera settings playback

56
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,239
and review uh metadata entry and its

57
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:24,120
large size is actually another example of black Magic's because we can attitude

58
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:29,000
truthfully a 5-in display doesn't cost much more than a 3-in display so they

59
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:35,759
put it on way to be with that said the BMCC isn't perfect the onscreen controls

60
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,960
are not as granular or as fast to adjust

61
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,360
as our main camera the Sony fs700 with its deeper settings and reprogrammable

62
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:48,080
hardware buttons but considering that I could buy three black Magics and a lens

63
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:53,199
for each for the price of a single fs700 and a lens and it delivers better image

64
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,440
quality out of the box it's pretty darn compelling although the fs does have

65
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,759
slow-mo built in ND filters and with the firmware upgrad in a third party

66
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:04,400
recorder ahead and image quality and can

67
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:08,840
record in 4k so just something to bear in mind uh last things to show on the

68
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,080
camera are of course mounts on the top for any accessories you might have

69
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,199
straps on the right hand side a yeah

70
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:20,400
that SSD slot where you go ahead and pop a 2 and A2 in SSD in there for your

71
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:25,000
recording needs on the bottom we've got ventilation yes it is actively cooled

72
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:28,440
there's actually a fan inside this bad boy and then last but not least is the

73
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:33,360
record button up there on the front that I never actually me mentioned now to

74
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,960
close out this video where undoubtedly there are many folks who didn't make it

75
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,080
this far in and left comments underneath wondering why we could possibly need

76
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:44,120
this camera for unboxings I'll leave some footage here from some of the

77
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,280
projects that we've done that aren't unboxings where it would have been nice

78
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:53,280
to have a b camera or a little bit more control and post production than the

79
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:56,160
stock abchd recording of the fs700

80
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:01,479
allows so we do do other things than unboxings and we will put this camera to

81
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:05,680
good use and I think that's pretty much it guys we're really excited about

82
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,759
having it like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a

83
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:15,639
comment and let me know you know something tell me what kind of fish is

84
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,960
your favorite to eat and then as always guys don't forget to subscribe to L's
