Premium Members Jeff Muhlstock SOC Posted February 21, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Guys, Its my understanding that its a known issue of a few frame latency issue with Epic while shooting in 5K outputting to monitors (2.5 frames or so). Any fix/setting or work around that someone knows of? The lag is driving me crazy. thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted February 21, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have been experiencing delay in 4k as well although not as bad. You have to stop fast moves short and watch actors instead of monitor for critical timing. Sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted February 21, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 not surprising, they have to de-bayer and process the 5K data stream for the 1080 422 output. quite simply put: their computer is to slow....at least you can dry your hair with this camera in-between takes.... -_- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members axel ebermann Posted February 27, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The Epic always had a latency problem. I did tons of test on this and here is what happens: Epic has a 2-3ms delay. Depending on the monitor you might get another 1-2ms delay and if you have a VTR guy in between with a whole bunch of processing add another 1-2ms. Which means by the time the signal reaches video village you are between 4-5 ms off. Which is very visible and annoying as hell. Always a nuisance to tell the director and clients that "this is a technical issue beyond our control". We had some success delaying the audio signal by the same margin. However if you are on a small set where you can hear the live audio you are out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JamieSilverstein Posted February 27, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Like the weight of the Epic (once we figured out how to build it properly), but really don't like much else about it at all. And I'm glad others have observed the latency. I just thought that I was way too drunk at the time. Or not drunk enough.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JamieSilverstein Posted February 27, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just kidding...... About the drunk part. Still don't really like the camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
