Anyone have experience working with these cameras in their “Cinema” mode as Sony calls it in the menu. I’ve got four of these in a studio environment and I am trying to understand on how they handle SLog3/SGamut3Cine. Our post team has taken footage from these cameras and when they apply a standard Sony Slog3 to Rec 709 LUT, the footage looks off. My thinking is that they need to first conform from HDR to SDR before applying a LUT.

But that’s only part of the issue. I cannot figure out how to load a LUT into the camera and see that LUT applied to an output. We are using HDCU5500 CCU’s with RCP3500’s. Would love to pick someone’s brain who has experience with these cameras. I’m also tasked with getting these to play nice with other models of Sony cams (FX9, FS7, etc.) Any tips would be appreciated!

I'm at a complete loss trying to get NDI screen capture to appear on one of my PC's.

Setup:

• Streaming PC: RTX 5070Ti + 5950X — Running Studio Monitor
• Gaming PC: RTX 5090 + 9950X3D — Running Screen Capture/HX
• Backup PC: RTX 3080Ti + 299WX — Running Studio Monitor

I am trying to capture my Gaming PC on my Streaming PC. They are both connected to the same 2.5GbE network switch.

I am running NDI Screen Capture/HX on my Gaming PC, but no matter what I do, NDI Studio Monitor only shows a black screen on my Streaming PC.

• Gaming PC can see feed locally via Studio Monitor
• Backup PC can see feed via Studio Monitor
• Streaming PC can NOT see feed via Studio Monitor
• NDI Test Pattern on Gaming PC produces the same results
• Tried OBS + DistroAV — all sources are black
• Tried Screen Capture on Backup PC — Streaming PC can NOT see the feed via Studio Monitor
• NDI Screen Capture high bandwidth and HX are both the same result, no matter the resolution/framerate
• Enabling KVM works — even though the screen is black
• With NDI Screen Capture HX, I repeatedly get connection notifications in Windows
• Turning off my firewall does not fix the issue
• Networks are all set to private

I ran a quick NDI Analysis and it confirmed that my video/audio connection are repeatedly opening/closing

Gearing up for some hockey broadcasts in a couple weeks and considering doing the full 10x boundary mic setup for the first time. Can anyone share some insight as to how the pros mount on the top edge of the glass? I'll be using Beta 91As.

Had a corporate gig today and Resolume gave me a bit of a scare, so I'm curious what version people actually trust for live work these days.

Quick rundown of the rig: Win11, Core Ultra 9 285, 64 GB RAM, RTX 4000 and a DeckLink 8K Pro. Resolume 7.26.1 and vMix on the same box, vMix sending 2 NDI feeds to Resolume over localhost. Comp is 5760x2232 at 30 fps, sliced out to a 12x3 m 2.6 mm LED wall, two confidence monitors, a timer and a projector. Everything's DXV3.

During the show RAM just kept creeping up, about 1% every 10 minutes (~640 MB) without me touching anything. Closing most of the preview monitors freed up almost 6 GB, which was weird, but it kept climbing at the same rate after that. Turning off the webserver didn't change a thing.

It had already crashed twice on me while I was building the comp and moving stuff around. Then mid-show I went to close one more preview panel and it went down. Got it back up pretty quick, baseline after restart was 32%, but not something I want to repeat in front of a client.

From what I've dug up, the old DeckLink SMPTE leak was fixed back in 7.22, so probably not that. The 7.26.2 hotfix mentions fixes for REST API overhead on large comps and crashes when moving panels, which sounds a lot like what I hit.

So:

- What version are you running for corporate/touring stuff?

- Anyone seen RAM creep like this with NDI inputs or big comps on 7.25/7.26?

- If you've moved to 7.26.2, did it sort it out?

Going to update and do a long soak test before the next one. I'll post back with what I find.
