Some interesting info from Grant Petty on BMCC, Pocket Cam, etc.

Things that stand out...

 

• Compressed raw will likely come to the 2.5K camera, with firmware update
• Firmware on the Pocket Cinema Camera is identical to BMCC, only sensor part is different (debayering etc.)
• They hope to do a Quicktime wrapper for Cinema DNG making it easier to edit. Raw frames in Quicktime MOV!

 

All very positive stuff and I like how knowledgable and engineering lead their CEO is. Not a business strategist but a proper technical man with ideas.

Nice interview indeed. I'd like to have lossy compression in the pocket as an option. Bring that file size down a bit :)
