00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:14.120
for the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC look no further than the

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.760
obsidian series 250d from Corsair click now to learn more the black magic cinema

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:21.960
camera our new camera by the way very excited has been on the market long

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

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.840
2 1/2k sensor intended to be downscaled

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.120
to deliver sharper than normal 1080P or 2K it's got 13 stops of dynamic range

00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:40.920
which basically amounts to less detail lost in the highlights and low lights

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:47.719
and it can shoot in uncompressed cinema dng raw Avid dnxhd and apple proor

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:52.399
versus AVCHD which is what we're stuck with on our fs700 unless we use an

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.559
external recorder it includes a key for Da Vinci resolve which is otherwise a

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

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.720
box which won't matter one fish is nipple to most people but I like boxes

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

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:12.320
too black Magic's design philosophy is a little bit different from other

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:17.600
companies they emphasize building what we can versus what the market will be

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:22.640
willing to buy for a given price and they emphasize Open Standards rather

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.119
than closed proprietary bille ones in

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.920
fact one of the most notable things about this camera for me is a great

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

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.880
standard computer ssds are probably one of the only relatively inexpensive

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840
mediums that is capable of delivering

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:49.079
strong enough performance to handle the massive 150 megabytes per second data

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.759
rate required by 12bit raw 2 and 1/2k

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:56.399
recording while other recording Solutions sometimes do use 2 and 1/2 in

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:01.399
ssds convergent design is one of them most other companies choose to use

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.240
firmware to lock down recording media to

00:02:01.399 --> 00:02:08.000
proprietary drives which deliver consistent performance sure but are much

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:12.640
more expensive Blackmagic takes an open approach and allows you to use whatever

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:17.680
SSD you want which when you consider that a 256 gig Drive holds only about 30

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.040
minutes of raw footage is pretty nice but this open approach has some

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.879
drawbacks for them and allowing a customer to put drives with inadequate

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.239
performance in the camera will lead to dropped frames in the footage and a bad

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.000
customer experience for which black magic could easily be blamed which leads

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

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.519
for Kingston's hyperx 3 KSD and a bit of a public service announcement now

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:49.519
Kingston was kind enough to send us over three 480 gig drives for our recording

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:52.239
needs this will let us shoot about 3

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.840
hours of uncompressed raw footage without offloading to a PC which is

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.879
great and in exchange all they wanted was for us to talk about why their SSD

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.319
is great for you use with this camera which is easy because it's right on

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:10.480
black Magic's validated Drive list so there you go yay moving on no seriously

00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.080
I should probably give some background as to why it's on there hyperx 3K drives

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.400
deliver great performance in this use case because they use realtime data

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.840
compression to take the large files that you produce while filming and turn them

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.120
into something smaller on the Fly before committing them to the flash chips on

00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:34.760
the SSD this is actually similar to how other video compression standards like

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:39.959
h264 work except for one major difference when you read the data back

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:45.159
off of a hyperx 3K drive it decompresses it on the Fly again delivering the full

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.920
quality file to you without you ever noticing that it was stored in a

00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:53.480
compressed form this technology is perfect here because uncompressed raw

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:58.040
footage is right in the Wheelhouse of sandforce controller based SSD drives

00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:02.439
allowing them to perform pretty near optimally and of course they're just

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:06.439
standard pcssd so the same Tech works in your computer as well on the back we

00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:12.840
find a 5 in 800x480 capacitive touchcreen that can

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:16.120
be used for uh camera settings playback

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.239
and review uh metadata entry and its

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:24.120
large size is actually another example of black Magic's because we can attitude

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

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

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.960
are not as granular or as fast to adjust

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:42.360
as our main camera the Sony fs700 with its deeper settings and reprogrammable

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:48.080
hardware buttons but considering that I could buy three black Magics and a lens

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

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.440
quality out of the box it's pretty darn compelling although the fs does have

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.759
slow-mo built in ND filters and with the firmware upgrad in a third party

00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:04.400
recorder ahead and image quality and can

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

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:14.080
camera are of course mounts on the top for any accessories you might have

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.199
straps on the right hand side a yeah

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

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:25.000
recording needs on the bottom we've got ventilation yes it is actively cooled

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

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:33.360
record button up there on the front that I never actually me mentioned now to

00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:36.960
close out this video where undoubtedly there are many folks who didn't make it

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.080
this far in and left comments underneath wondering why we could possibly need

00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:44.120
this camera for unboxings I'll leave some footage here from some of the

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:48.280
projects that we've done that aren't unboxings where it would have been nice

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:53.280
to have a b camera or a little bit more control and post production than the

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:56.160
stock abchd recording of the fs700

00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:01.479
allows so we do do other things than unboxings and we will put this camera to

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:05.680
good use and I think that's pretty much it guys we're really excited about

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

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:15.639
comment and let me know you know something tell me what kind of fish is

00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.960
