GiGe cameras

anyone looked at pulling off 2k or 4k video off of a GiGe camera? like the Red One?

thx

i just use Scratch :). works wonderfully, and is much more efficient than putting it through Redcine first.

though i think you're not talking about the R3D files, but capping video straight off the camera in uncompressed. not sure there's any hardware that can do 4k live capture, but a blackmagic card might be able to handle 2k. just be sure to have a very fast disk array to capture to.

that's it! but i don't have scratch.

the idea of having to jump through a quicktime time codec to .mov is pretty lame. i'm looking for a way to to use avisynth, vdub, flaskmpeg instead of the bloat-ware of premiere or FCP.

if even the data is wavelet compressed coming in, i'd rather go with vdub, flask, etc
