Scalability mean that codec could allow the software to read 1/2 1/3 1/4 and more data from original file without load too much memory and hard disk. You can find this feature in dnxhd/hr, prores, cineform and also in h264, but most of software (with except of original creator of codecs) use this feature. The GoPro CineForm codec is a cross-platform intermediate codec designed for editing high-resolution and visually lossless footage. Many workflows involve creating and using CineForm files: GoPro Studio, Autopano Video, After Effects, Premiere Pro.

• Cineform Intermediate 2k And Hd Codec For Mac Pro

Representing the Largest Contribution to Open Source from GoPro to Date From the desk of, GoPro Technical Fellow and former CineForm CTO The codec has been in development for 16 years, overseeing many innovations in the video production market: it ushered transition from standard definition to HD, and it was the first to do cinematic compression for RAW capture beyond HD. From there, it became first and only editing codec to support 3D/Stereoscopic.

The CineForm codec then ushered the transition from HD to 4K, and now, 360° video beyond 4K. As one of the original developers of CineForm, I never imagined that this intermediate codec would have such a long future. The CineForm codec uses a fast wavelet technology which conveniently improves in efficiency as the resolution goes up. However, I never foresaw how far resolution would climb and how quickly. The seemingly never-ending increase in resolution is happening again with 360° video. GoPro could not have launched (a 8Kp30 and 6Kp60 video product) without CineForm, as there are no other high-performance, cross-platform codecs that can handle these resolutions.

With the upcoming, the included desktop utilities will enable 5.2K workflows via the CineForm codec, already bundled with products for a streamlined super-high-resolution workflow. GoPro has been working on 360° technologies for several years, and is well aware that 4K resolution is insufficient to deliver a product that would meet GoPro’s high level of quality. The problem is there are no hardware based compression solutions that could be put inside a GoPro-sized camera.

Popular standards like H.264 can't compress beyond 4K, and the bleeding-edge isn't currently optimized (hardware accelerated) beyond 4K. Today there are no multiple-lens cameras that can compress to a single image beyond 4K.

Here at GoPro, we have need beyond that of the existing standards, and this is not the first time that we’ve been in this situation. Throughout the history of GoPro, our cameras have been on the cutting-edge of technology, producing content that was well beyond the capabilities of consumer hardware to support. The GoPro HERO line of cameras introduced a series of new non-standard resolutions to help capture GoPro's unique perspectives such as 960p, 1440p, 2.7K and now 5.2K.

When these resolutions were first introduced, many consumer laptops weren't equipped with hardware to offer smooth playback, so the CineForm codec was used behind the scenes to make playback and editing smoother and faster. This has been the role of CineForm even before its acquisition by GoPro in 2011.

The CineForm compression format was designed for speed on personal computers, so it could bridge the gap between a cutting-edge camera and the existing computer hardware that needed to present the images. CineForm has stayed well ahead of the video standards which take a long time to arrive in hardware, from our laptops to our smartphones. For the upcoming Fusion, just like with Omni, the video is stitched after capture using CineForm to hold more than today's standards can deliver.

Since it is so clearly evident that CineForm is crucial to advancing 360° imaging, GoPro is open-sourcing it to help third-party software developers accelerate high-resolution 360 and future workflows. Eventually, video standards will be the road in which high-resolution consumer 360 cameras will run, but today, where we're goingwe don't need roads. You can join the CineForm open source effort at.

KineMINI is upgrade version of KineRAW-MINI. Actually, KineMINI is not so much an upgrade but a whole new model of Kine camera. Built-in Cineform codec, 4K RAW option and HiSpeed Option, SDI output, turns KineMINI into a much more professional cinema camera, not a toy. With such performance, KineMINI keeps nearly same shape and weight with KineRAW-MINI, only increase 10% on length.

All accessories used on KineRAW-MINI are suitable for KineMINI. KineMINI defines a new standard on professional Cinema Camera: full function, all in for Cinema, lightweight, solid, and versatile, even for one-man band.

KineMINI Can record high resolution up to 4K@30fps(4096×2160@30fps); But 4K recording is an in-camera OPTION, in another word pure camera body does not have the 4K option. If no 4K RAW option, you can also record 2K/1080p/720p, in-camera with Cineform and CinemaDNG codec. Regarding to:. In-Camera Option; No need external recorders at all;. Activate 4K RAW Option at any time, No need to return it to us for upgrade;. Can NOT record 4K Cineform RAW mov at real time;. Can record 4K Lossless Compressed KineRAW(.krw) and Uncompressed CinemaDNG;.

Can use free KineStation to transcode KineRAW(.krw) and CinemaDNG into 4K Cineform RAW mov, RGB444 mov. The following chart shows 4K Option clearly: Format Resolution 4K Option No 4K Option S35 DCI 4K 4096×2160. ✔ DCI 4K Scope 4096×1716. ✔ Ultra HD 3840×2160. ✔ Ultra HD Wide 3840×1716.

KineMINI Can record high fps up to 1080p@96fps(1920×1080@96fps); But HiSpeed recording is an in-camera OPTION, in another word pure camera body does not have the HiSpeed option. If no HiSpeed recording option, you can also record 2K/1080p@60fps or 720p@100fps/60fps, at crop mode. Regarding to:. In-camera option;. Activate HiSpeed Option at any time, No need to return it to us for upgrade;.

Can NOT record Cineform RAW mov at real time;. Can use free KineStation to transcode KineRAW(.krw) into RGB444 mov For Comparison, the following table shows the difference: Format Resolution MAX FPS @HiSpeed Option MAX FPS @No HiSpeed Option HiSpeed DCI 2K 2048×1080 92 30 DCI 2K Scope 2048×864 120 30 Full HD 1920×1080 96 30 Full HD Wide 1920×864 120 30 S16 DCI 2K 2048×1080 60 60 DCI 2K Scope 2048×860 75 60 Full HD 1920×1080 60 60 Full HD Wide 1920×860 75 60. KineMINI can record three RAW formats online: Lossless Compressed KineRAW(.krw), UnCompressed CinemaDNG(.dng) and Cineform RAW (.mov).

KRW can be transcoded by KineStation into Cineform RAW/RGB444, or CinemaDNG. It supports 3K 4:3 Anamorphic with resolution: 2880×2160. Note: It enables 4:3 Anamorphic only if 4K Option purchased.

accordion-item title='KineMINI™ can record Quick-Motion/Undercrank? KineMINI is capable of quick motion capture (undercrank). As of undercrank/Quick-Mo, the lowest fps is down to 6fps under current firmware. You can set any custom sensor fps between lowest and highest fps, the accuracy is 0.001fps, while recording fps is set by project fps in the camera. It provides much more possibilities over fixed fps like 24, 25, 30fps. KineMINI employs a state-of-art 4K S35mm CMOS sensor. It does suffer from some rolling effect.

But it shows less rolling effect compared to DSLR cameras. If you want to take action shots, KineMINI features sport mode which reduces rolling effect greatly, seems like global shutter. Sport Mode is designed to alleviate the rolling greatly, and make KineMINI handle quick movement shootings, like handheld, shots on shoulder, documentary style. The footages would be turned into Cineform RGB444 mov after KineStation transcoding. Note: Sport Mode takes effect only on 2K and 1080p, not 4K. And Sport Mode refers to HiSpeed Mode @30fps or below.

KineMINI™ has two options on Mount:. Native Active EF, supports in-camera Iris control over majority of EF/EF-S lens; display Iris number and tune Iris number electronically. KineMOUNT™ same with KineRAW-S35, KineMOUNT™ is a mount with short FFD, actually omni-mount like other short FFD mount:. KineMOUNT +, it turns into PL mount;.

KineMOUNT +, it turns into EF mount;. KineMOUNT +, it turns into Nikon F mount;. And even, mount.

Note：EF mounting adapter support Iris control, while Nikon F mounting adapter not. Besides, mounting adapters are independent accessories, not included in machine body. There are many ways to power KineMINI™:. Handhold: you could use small off-the-shelf battery as 18650 Li+ battery with protection if you purchase the.

KineGrip is a combination of battery holder and controller; Every time you need to use three 18650 batteries at the same time, and batteries can be changed quickly if they are drained. One triplet 18650 batteries (3400mA panasonic) can sustain around 6090 mins for KineMINI. Caution: Must use 18650 batteries with protection circuits. Batteries without protected are prohibited to be used for KineMINI. Caution: Try to use genuine panasonic 3400mA/Sanyo 2600mA batteries with 3MOS protection circuits.

Caution: Always use Three batteries at the same time, Charge them at the same time. Studio, Use external broadcasting battery like V-mount SONY battery to power KineMINI. KineMINI has a push-pull port with 2-PIN, wide voltage range input, from 6V18V.

For a 14.4V broadcasting battery with 130Wh, it can power KineMINI SIX hours. Also there is to power KineMINI directly. Steadicam, KineMINI can be powered directly from Movcam Steadicam. Customized, Even you could DIY a power cable to power KineMINI based. The great thing of KineGrip for KineMINI™ 4K can use industry standard 18650 batteries.

KineGrip with New Battery Holder must use three 18650 batteries with protection one time. Battery holder can be easily operated for batteries replacement. New KineMINI can work up to 90 mins if using new Panasonic 18650 batteries with 3400mA capacity. As of 18650 batteries which KineMINI uses, guidelines are following:. Must use 18650 battery with protection: Strongly recommend to employ 18650 batteries with 3MOS protection circuits.

3MOS protection circuits: it can protect 18650 Li batteries effectively when voltage of battery drops much;. Must use three batteries as triplet: charging, usage, storage;. Never rip off the thin film around the 18650 batteries: these film are to solid the protection circuits with batteries. Do Not charge batteries with large current: avoid charging current over 1A. Recommend NiteCore I4 charger from Kinefinity Store. It takes around 46 hrs if charging a 3400mA battery to full state.

In-camera options, means they are built-in before shipment. You need to return camera body to Kinefinity for later purchase.

It may take 35 working days for it.: KineMINI Can record uncompressed 4K RAW CinemaDNG and compressed lossless DNG too. You can use the DNG directly, or employ free KineStation to transcode DNG into 4K Cineform RAW mov, RGB444 mov, 4K ProRes422HQ mov. It does not need to return Camera back to factory to upgrade the option so that you can purchase it and upgrade it after you bought camera.: is a special mode for sensor capturing high speed objects. Its codec is same with sport mode as compressed lossless RAW sequence named as KNG by Kinefinity. It can capture 1080p slow motion up to 100fps, and no recording time limit till your KineMAG full.: supports SDI monitoring output for broadcasting monitors, the resolution is same as HD display output as 1080p or 720p.: KineMINI can take real 3D shots. Just one SYNC cable to connect two KineMINI SYNC port, set up Master and Slave instantly. 3D SYNC means: Scan sync, frame sync and time code sync, less than 5uS of mismatch!.: Control camera by wifi control app (KineRemote) on iPad now.

Download App directly from Apple App Store. Kine cameras do not prohibit users from using third-party SSD. Users could try to use third-party SSD, but generally speaking, third-party SSD are consumer-type, often using MLC flash memory chip even TLC memory chip. As known, MLC and TLC suffers from stability and much lower durance, compared to SLC Flash.

KineMAG employs high quality SLC flash memory chip. Only is recommended.

Note: Performance on data spec are guarantied by KineMAG SSD. There is no technical support or help on recording issues such as frame drop or data loss if using third-party SSD. Basically, the KineMINI can record three powerful intermediate codecs as KineRAW(.krw), Cineform RAW(mov) and CinemaDNG in-camera directly. With the help of KineStation running on the PC or MAC, you will get Cineform and CinemaDNG, so that you will get two mainstream intermediate codecs for post workflow:.

Cineform RAW mov; (Cineform RGB444). CinemaDNG sequence; Here, we just address Cineform RAW mov and CinemaDNG sequence briefly. You can get more information on RAW/RGB444 and in separate tech notes.

Since KineStation can transcode KineRAW(.krw) and CinemaDNG into Cineform mov (top intermediate codec in film industry), we strongly suggest Cineform as codec of post workflow(CinemaDNG can be also transcoded into Cineform mov by KineStation). So for the following introduction, we address Cineform as post-workflow, mainly. About Post-Workflow of KineMINI™. KineRAW (.krw) codec, cinema-level codec is developed by Kinefinity with great efforts and resources. Its average compression level is 3:1, lossless compression algorithm: it remains whole information of original image, there is no color sampling and loss. The 240GB KineMAG SSD could record around 45 minutes 4K RAW clips with its date rate close to ProRes422HQ. KineRAW(.krw)codec may be supported by NLE or DI software directly in the future, with the increase of more Kine cameras.

KRW can be transcoded into following industry level codec(KineStation V0.7): Cineform codec and CinemaDNG codec. Cineform RAW Cineform RGB444 CinemaDNG KineRAW(.krw, Not HiSpeed) ✔ ✔ ✔ KineRAW(.krw, HiSpeed) ✔. KineStation + KineCamera = Kine Hybrid System (KHS). Kine Hybrid System (KHS) is designed to make frontend capturing and backend processing for high-efficiency post workflow. Kine Cameras as frontend capturing tool as RAW to remain Maximum details and latitude, and KineStation as backend bridge running on PC or MAC to post workflow. KineStation can transcoding KineRAW and CinemaDNG into Cineform RAW and Cineform RGB444 with debayer options for different controls from RAW into RGB domain to match your favourite workflow. To get to know more information of KineStation, take a look on.

CinemaDNG is uncompressed RAW format, frame-based, just like Film. In terms of motion pictures, it is a frame sequence of 24 uncompressed 2K RAW images if recording 2K @24fps by KineMINI.

Adobe software including AE, Speedgrade, and other DI software like Davinci Resolve can grade CinemaDNG natively, and latest Premiere CC, Resolve can edit CinemaDNG sequences. There is no color sampling over CinemaDNG at all. It holds native whole range of sensor output and so remains maximum room for grading work. KineMINI Configuration. KineMINI Body 1.
