Mike i hear that a old Ampro will do better, you should contact macgyver655 he will be able to tell you why.

Maybe you should visite him and see the image on his screen. Very Happy


He has my phone number and is welcome to call anytime. Smile


Mac whgere in the states are you located.. Twisted Evil


Ask around. Everyone else knows. Laughing


Ill drop in the next time. Wink

Cant you post some shots of the wonder, so we can get a idea how much better it is..?


Nope. Smile See you when you get here. Smile


Ill get around. If i had known, i would have been there already.

I like your eye on this..Thumbs Up

It's scenes like that that reveal the power of the video chain. In order to see the detail that's shown thru-out that scene @ 1080P, it required a very fast and clean video chain. And when done right you actually get to see HD resolved very well..Very Happy

Ok and I bet it resolves very well when moving too. Nobody moves camera's so fast that the sharpness is invisible.

Or is it true that a G90 that does not resolve HD has no problem with movies because of the movement? That you can not see the difference in real movies?

Some of the guys that try to disprove the importance of the 1:1 say that is only a test picture. If they where consistent than they would say that lenses do not matter too because resolution of lenses is also measured with the 1:1 testpictures.

This image below shows what a lens does on the transition from black to white lines with low and high frequencies. The low frequency lines come through better than the high frequency lines.



From Kurt I understand that when this 1:1 behaves different for different colours the mess gets complete.

Thanks nice. They talk about lenses but also about focus. I tried to maximise the 1:1 on my Cine max but there was little change with focus other than the lines becoming invisible. So the bandwidth limit is much worse than the focus limit Sad

The lenses seem to be capable of resolving much higher resolutions except at the corners. With My Cine max again the corners are the same as the center so the lenses resolve much more than the bandwidth. Is it not a shame such good lenses and focus with such bad bandwidth Very Happy Makes no sense.

Are you getting equally sharp focus with the HFQ900 lenses at the corners as in the center on the 909? It sounds that way but I just want to be sure. What about when you put the HFQ900 on the Marquee?

Marquee's are a little more difficult to set up than the 909/G90 when it comes to focus; especially the ******* adjustment. There's a lot of interaction between optical focus, global focus and zone focus to arrive at the optimal overall focus across the image; especially at 1080p/72. You can spend hours messing around with this (independent of magnetic work).

Personally, I'd love to get my hands on a set of HDQ900 to see how much better they really are. CIR tested a set on his G90 but said they weren't much better than the HD10F. I don't know what res he was running but it would be great to see the difference at 1080p/72.

I do see almost the same MTF vallues in the corners as in the middle. Now if the lens was beyond its resolution in the corner the MTF should become worse there. I do have a little less astig in the corners that makes the lines less clear distinguishable.
Looking at this picture one could argue that the MTF in the corners is a little worse as the grey is a little darker. So perhaps the electronic focus or the lens is not optimal there as the bandwidth must be the same in the corners.

I will compare with GT17 when I come to it.

Are you sure you dont have some scaling on that SMPTE pattern.? It not very often to see the 2:2 role off that much, and the 3:3 also role off.

There must be something wrong somewhere, it have quite some peaking, and still it have heavy role off on the 2:2.

The pic also show a lot of streaking.

I think the streaking is the reflection problem that I mentioned earlier. The sides are mirrored to the other side looks like streaking in the middle but I do not know where exactly you see streaking, it is a symetric picture so something in the up corner can come from a down corner. I still did not solve it but I am sure it is not the coating on the lenses. Perhaps the coating on the c-element but than all three or the mixture of the glycol. I am not putting more effort in it at this time.

But the bandwidth is the same as allways and each time you say the same about the 2:2. At least the last times. When you see pictures with only green they look better. I do have peaking on lowest setting.

There's already a 1:1 909 screen shot thread, no need to post that here;-)

It was about mtf but I removed the pictures.

He Kurt I found this pic of an unmodified 909

Same 2:2 difference I think.

Mike are those tubes worn on the edges ? The yellowing look like its form that or improper zone contrast settings.
