Does this affect the auto focus and tracking focus feature in anyway. As in make them unable to track any longer? Thank you

Cool demo. One thing I will say though, is that PAL analog formats always looked better when digitized. Simply because they have more lines of resolution. I noticed this all the way back around 2000-2001, a friend let me borrow a DVD that was a documentary of the rave scene, mostly in the UK. IIRC it had interviews w/people like Sasha. It was shot on PAL Hi8 - not even a truly professional analog format. On standard definition US televisions back then, we couldn't believe how good it looked...certainly as good anything recorded on NTSC DV. Mind you, for a commercial project like that they would have used the best Snell and Wilcox PAL to NTSC converters, so that surely helped. And let's not forget that European 625 TV formats looked better, period. I noticed this the first time I went to the UK and Europe in 1993. BUT, I found the 50hz flicker to be noticeable and annoying. Even fluorescent lights seemed to be strobing to my eyes that were used to 60Hz!

Sir can you please explain what does the settings internal rec - Mlut on will do to the footage

Great video dude!

Great rundown of so many options! I'd say you will definitely want to check out one more when you get a chance, try a minimic from "location sound london." It's delivering line level and is exceptionally tiny. It's the best thing I've found for reference audio that adds no bulk/requires no extra power. Internal battery is supposed to last for days but I have never wanted to test it past a single 16 hour day. I've had 4 units since 2022 and had zero issues with any of them. Been one of the best value accessories, and severely cut down my headaches with audio on the Mini. Cheers!

just ordered the Hollyland Lark M2, one con was it didn't have onboard recording, following your video I will connect them to my Podtrak P4 for a podcast setup thanks very much

Hi ! Super interesting and helpfull video ! Could you tell the exact adapter you show on the Sony A7 at the beginning of the video ? Thanks !

That was a very effective test. I used to service these machines in the 90's, the 5 series u-matics were great to work on. I don't have a u-matic machine now but am looking out for one. I have three BetacamSP machines though! As others have said it's not a broadcast standard by any means, it's about the same bandwidth as VHS but both video and (stereo) audio have a much higher S/N ratio so it can edit WAY better with less degradation. It was heavily used for production work and editing in the 70's through to the 90's, as the equipment was far cheaper to own or hire. Once their editing was finalised, the final cut from the original broadcast tapes (or film!) would be made

I love the sound of the MIC you are using. I wish i knew what it is.

please help. the other mic of my m1 duo went missing. can I replace it with m1 solo's mic? or can it be synced with another m1 duo's mic?

Lindisfarne??!! Acapella?

Which mic(In Stand)u r using and do u using cloudlifter or something phantom power with that

What I'm so shocked by is that there isn't a big gamma shift. Through the multiple conversions happening it all seems to be handling the conversion of the different gamma and color transparently and that's impressive.

Help me with the one on your right hand, that big one 😂😂😂😂

Where there is a will, there is a way. What you are doing takes me back to the early days of trying to get good audio into the NEX mirrorless cameras and consumer video handycams and the like. It demonstrates how far along audio on these cameras has greatly improved and there are now a vast array of choices out there as you make very clear in this interesting video. Perhaps Arri should consider going against their own grain and improve the audio capabilities on any future Alexa Mini. A controversial idea perhaps, but I lean towards audio being a requisite function on any camera and not a 'special feature'.

9.5 killed my multiview

The smaller ones also got a selectable output on the USB Webcam. Now rather than just program, you can send clean, MV, program, preview, ssrc, media players and keys, color gen, any input, bars or black. With the proper converter it can be another whole output

Cool Video. I have been a user of the rack mounted ATEMs for many years now. Starting with the original TVS. For the last several years I have been using the ATEM 1 M/E 4k and ATEM PS 4k switchers for various productions. Only with in the last year did I purchase my first Mini Extreme ISO SDI. Those updates look great. As soon as I find time, I will update my Mini Extreme. It is a crying shame though that there are no new benefits for my older ATEMs. I have a feeling it is hardware holding back any new and significant updates.

HI, can you name the exact adapters you were using? Looking for an option for the b4-EF conversion. Thank you!

How fit you get it to install on the TV studio? Ours won’t even prompt an install even though it’s running on an older FW (1.8 or something

anyone can ask it why this update is not to coming HD8 series.. why they skip this important series?

So with the autofocus making it perform as parfocal, does this end the need of a b4 lens for you?

When did you get an ARRI?! No more b4 lens? :( lol. You got amrias too?!

Cool video that is alot of switchers!

Way to go, John!

I was going to buy this but was thinking, how does it fair with most of the non par-focal stills lenses? I know there’s autofocus on these lenses but would worry it would pulse or rack focus in auto when doing slow zooms? Is this a concern you’ve encountered?

At this very moment, I am sitting in my univesrity lecture hall which was (re)built after the destruction of ww2 in the 1950s and modernized a little bit at some point in the 70´s or 80´s probably. There is the control room at the top which still has the 16mm RCA film projector in it and two slide projectors, left and right, alongside with a modern digital beamer which is used nowerdays. In the front cupboards next to the blackboard, there is a huge stack of audio/video equipment. A little Sony control monitor, a quite modern S-VHS recorder from the 2000´s and some big swithchboxes to switch the video/adio source between the three different lecture halls and other rooms where they used to have cameras to demonstrate things (veterinary medicine). There are six spots, three on each side, on the walls of the lecture hall where tue huge tube monitors/tv´s were standing. Those were probably removed a couple of years ago, all the other stuff like cables and scart connectors is still there, just as the Sennheiser audio system with 4 speakers. In one of the cupboards next to the blackboard is a huge collection of U-Matic and U-Matic-S video tapes with recordings from the 80´s but unfortunately, I can´t locate the U-Matic recorder. It as probably removed at some point and replaced with the S-VHS machine, but the tapes ar still there. I do actually want to save everything that is still there because the building will be torn down in a couple of years anyway. I just don´t have a good feeling of giving tose tapes into other hands for making digital copies, so maybe I´ll have t go through the hassel of buying a U-Matic machine to to it myself. We´ll see... I do find the picture quality outstanding by the way!

Excellent demo for people considering to get a FS700!

Can this Aktiv8 head go frictionless if needed on the horizontal? thanks

My Dad, job hunting after losing an inside connector sales job, took a chance on an educational supply company in rural Wisconsin (Nasco). He mostly sold to schools and some businesses (small electronics shops, banks, and the US Navy). This division became so big it split off as Kapco and Dad stayed with them thru retirement in 1982. The equipment weighed a ton but was first-class in reliability.

Do u connect the zoom to the camera as well?

To be fair your losing extra Resolution and clarity due to the recording of 16:9 on a 4:3 tape format.

For some reason my camera isnt picking up any noise. Please help

Are there any cheaper alternatives you are aware of?

I just got mine. How do I switch the mono to stereo mode?

I can't quite tell from the video but does clear image zoom kick in immediately on pressing the rocker and max itself out well before you finish zooming optically? I'm trying to understand if the rate of zoom with clear image zoom enabled is consistent from start to finish of the entire zoom or if it drops off because clear image zoom finishes before optical zoom does.

Can the lens be controlled via the camera body or via a Rcp like a Rm1500?

Hahaha, hi, John I was just looking for any pictures or video of the old Sony 2630 lo band U-matic edit suites with RM88U controller that I started out with but really can’t find anything much, just a few videos of the recorder. The 5850 were state of the art and out of my price range at the time, showing my age :-)

Can you explain attaching it to a slider. Would you need any flat base adapters?

Enjoyable video John. I have two low band u-Matics here. Been given some tapes to transfer - b/w with flittering glimpses of colour, but basically just coming out as b/w picture. Guessing the tapes were recorded on a high band u-Matic... The colour flickers are prominent on PAL. I still have playback on SECAM, but no colour signal trying to break through. Ideally, I need a HighBand u-Matic I think..

Hey John, This was the first tape format we used to use and learnt our editing skills on as well as the 2" suite. I have lots of my old showreels of animatics on Hi band and low band umatic that I'll have to pop by to look at sometime. Hope you are well. Tony

Novichok?

Just bought the 600 version and absolutely love it…

Ganz tolle Band,mein Einstieg in dieser tollen Zeit begann mit "okay"

Great review @ 2:32 what v-mount did you use to attach the battery pack to clamp

Excellent presentation. Appreciated.

It looks quite good. But you've done something with the format? Umatic was 4:3 ratio. Since it is new to you, pull out on the bottom of the bottom front panel.

super curious if the 200 panel would be useable like this or if its too little power.

wow more proof how important tripods are.
