He breaks down the build from the bottom up, starting with the included shoulder mount for easy transitions between handheld, tripod, and dolly setups, then layering on Wooden Camera Elite accessories like the top plate, rails, and a more ergonomic handle for cleaner, more flexible rigging. He also highlights smart cable management using Condor Blue ties, a wedge plate that levels out the rear battery setup, and wireless monitoring powered by a Teradek Bolt 6 LT mounted in a Core SWX caddy for clean power pass-through. For added control, he uses adjustable handles, custom SDI cables from Mutiny, and a lightweight matte box for NDs. The result is a tidy, efficient, and production-ready camera rig designed to transition seamlessly between shooting environments.

Panasonic LUMIX GH6 now supports Blackmagic RAW https://news.broadfield.com/panasonic-lumix-gh6-now-supports-blackmagic-raw/ Fri, 28 Jul 2023 14:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=26158 Jose Antunes from ProVideoCoalition recently posted an article detailing how the Panasonic LUMIX GH6 now supports Blackmagic RAW. Panasonic quietly introduced a new update to its LUMIX GH6 this month, allowing the camera to record video in the Blackmagic Design RAW format, BRAW.

The LUMIX GH6 firmware version 2.3 provides users with access to a more flexible workflow. The mid-July firmware update allows the camera to output to a Blackmagic Design monitor/recorder ‘Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR’ over HDMI and save it as Blackmagic RAW. With the ability to record RAW video to a Blackmagic Design external recorder, LUMIX GH6 users now have two RAW options: the popular ProRes RAW and Blackmagic Design’s own BRAW.

The firmware update for the LUMIX GH6, which is available on the LUMIX Global Customer Support website, allows users to output 12-bit RAW video to a Blackmagic Design monitor/recorder in [5.7K], [C4K], [Anamorphic (4:3) 5.8K], or [Anamorphic (4:3) 4.4K]. The firmware update also adds 4K 120p/100p HDMI output support.

Panasonic advises those interested in the Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR firmware version to visit the Blackmagic Design website, and that DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio is required to play back and edit Blackmagic RAW data.

Furthermore, when the [Rec Quality] is set to 5.7K/60p (50p) or C4K/120p (100p) and recording to a Blackmagic Design recorder, it is recommended that the codec quality on the recorder be set to the following:

  • When recording to an SSD, maintain a constant bitrate of 5:1 or less.
  • When recording to an SD card, maintain a constant bitrate of 8:1 or less.

The latest firmware update confirms what Panasonic’s marketing says about this release: “through firmware updates, Panasonic delivers future-ready solutions for more flexible filmmaking workflow using mirrorless cameras.”

These two items are often compared, as their host of features are very similar.

Take a look at this article from videolane.com to learn more.

It’s tricky to compare equipment for live streaming, but I know I am always looking for something that works easier and faster.

Since I have tried various forms of devices and software, I would like to compare two of them.

Let’s take a look at the differences between the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini and the YoloLiv YoloBox.

To be fair, I also include in the comparison the ATEM Mini Pro ISO, which I have not personally tested.

I explore what’s considered traditional and what’s innovative, in my opinion.
