BlackMagic URSA PRO 12K, more than resolution. Symmetrical RGB vs Bayer sensor discussion.

Фильм және анимация

The BlackMagic URSA Mini Pro 12k is revolutionary beyond its resolution. Probably the most impressive part is the new sensor pattern leaving behind the tested Bayer in favor of newer technology with white photosites. Let's discuss.

    Hi, thanks for this video. On high frame rates. Data rates are only one limiting factor, the sensor read out speed also limits frame rates. It's why the fastest frame rates can occur when the sensor is in S16 mode.

    Thanks for the comment! That makes sense 🤔. I interpreted as the two being connected ei it can't read out faster because it's limited by data rate output. But no, what you say makes sense

    If I'm correct, RawLite makes an OLPF for BM cameras (well, the pocket 4K and 6K, and the Ursa Mini G2). Their results are really great too. I wonder if they'll make an OLPF for the Ursa Mini Pro 12K. Ever since I got into filmmaking, my biggest complaint has been how the cameras I've used handled moire and how BM cameras handle IR pollution. Thanks for the upload and conversation pieces. Oh, and super35 is the standard for cinema. Full frame is a photography standard. ARRI (past and present cameras) RED, Canon, Panasonic... they all use super35 except for their large format sensor cameras.

    Yes RawLite does make OLPFs and they should fit on this model as well without any extra work... but. The characteristics of it might need to be adjusted for the new sensor ans pattern. I guess I also forgot to mention how it doesnt seem that they've addressed their IR pollution issue... I assume it's just as bad on this camera, that probably didn't change, infact the clear photosites are probably more sensitive to IR

    I agree that the two competing concepts of higher resolution with smaller photosites on the one hand (BMD) and lower resolution with bigger photosites on the other (Arri, Sony A7s) needs to be investigated more. I mean, one of them has got to be superior to the other. I have a feeling that oversampling in the end gives you the cleaner image with more detail. I realized that first with the Sony a6300 which was one of the first cameras to downsample its 4k image from a 6k sensor readout. The image was increadibly detailed and sharp. Good point you are making that no matter how many photosites are on the sensor, the amount of light hitting it is the same. Just being processed by more or less photosites. And it only makes sense that more results in a cleaner image.

    One of my points is that it's not as black and white, often other factors like the filter pattern or if it's back side or front side illuminated, etc. Play a bigger role in noise performance than pixel pitch. DXO Mark measures these things, and we have data to back up this claim, However, when it comes to video and how it's compressed, encoded, etc more megapixels usually does mean more noise just because of how intensive the processing would be to actually use all the extra date efficiently when downscaling. That's a concern when BM says they're downscaling raw. But overall I'd hope they do a good job with it, and we in fact get the benefits of proper downscale as opposed to.. Say the difference in the R5 between 4K HQ (Downscaled from 8K): a great looking image and regular 4k which is not great (not downscaled, l;ine skipping people say?).

    Downscaling of RAW was realized in Slimraw years ago. And it was working with most of known raw formats like DNG. Without any moire. So at least 2x downscaling of true bayer raw is possible.

    Interesting, I remember coming across slimraw years ago, and thought they only did compression, not down scaling but you're right they seem to do it. The thing is, they're doing it mathematically and that would increase processing in the camera and would likely not allow for higher frames when down scaled. It also seems to be limited to half res of original, where BM has more flavors available... I wonder if we'll see other companies try to implement this on their Bayer sensored cameras.

    @@NeverlandProductions i think in camera, sensor has pixel binning options which can be called some sort of downscaling. If you remember old 5D3 ML with full hd raw it was clear and sharp without moire despite sensor was 5K.

    Is it possible to read only the W pixels and get real monochrome out of the same sensor? Im waiting for someone to use these tiny pixels so, that they are simply collapsed to one pixel with true RGB values. As sub 2 micron pixels are already too small for lenses to resolve. This i think would be the way to use these tiny pixels, so we could finally stop the upscaling bayer sensors. At 80mp, this sensor could already produce true 4k, with 3x8MP.

    The listing on the Black Magic website states that URSA Pro K is oversampled which tells me that the BRAW can't be a raw readout of the sensor when the image is uncropped and not 12K.
