Grabación de una señal HDMI limpia transmitida por una

cámara DSLR

Existen versiones DSLR que permiten grabar imágenes de 8 bits en forma interna y algunas brindan
la posibilidad de obtener una señal limpia a través de la salida HDMI. Al conectar esta salida al
monitor del dispositivo, es posible prescindir del sistema de compresión interno utilizado por la
cámara, a fin de obtener archivos en formato ProRes o DNx de 10 bits con excelente calidad.
Algunas versiones son capaces de transmitir contenidos en formato 4:2:2 de 10 bits con una calidad
superior a la del material grabado internamente en formato 4:2:0 de 8 bits.
En muchos países, este tipo de cámaras solo pueden grabar clips de corta duración, por lo tanto, al
emplear un modo de grabación externo, es posible superar dichas limitaciones. Esto resulta de
suma utilidad al grabar eventos en directo o entrevistas para documentales.
Para aprovechar al máximo esta prestación, es necesario que la cámara transmita una señal limpia
sin ningún tipo de información superpuesta a la imagen, lo cual se logra cambiando la configuración
de la salida HDMI a fin de que no se visualicen los datos en la señal. Esto es muy importante, ya que
si existen elementos superpuestos visibles en la imagen transmitida a través de la señal HDMI, estos
también aparecerán en el material grabado.
Para verificar si la información superpuesta es visible, siga los pasos descritos a continuación:
1 Deslice el dedo hacia arriba o abajo sobre la pantalla para ocultar la información y
monitorizar solo la imagen captada por la cámara. La franja que aparece en la parte
superior de la pantalla del modelo de 7 pulgadas no forma parte de la imagen. Esto
significa que permanecerá visible en todo momento a pesar de no estar presente en la
señal transmitida.
2 Compruebe si la señal transmitida por la cámara muestra algún tipo de información sobre la
imagen. Si esta información es visible en la pantalla, modifique los ajustes correspondientes
a la salida HDMI en la cámara para desactivar dicha función.
Al obtener una señal limpia, se pueden grabar imágenes de mejor calidad en formato ProRes.

Reproducción

Los controles de reproducción se encuentran en la parte inferior de la pantalla. Si no están visibles,
basta con deslizar el dedo hacia arriba o abajo para que aparezcan.
Reproducir Este botón permite reproducir los clips.
Detener
Durante la reproducción, pulse este botón para congelar la
imagen en un fotograma determinado.
Anterior y siguiente
Estos botones permiten ver el clip anterior o el siguiente.
Al pulsar el botón de retroceso una vez, el clip se reproduce
nuevamente desde el comienzo.
Avance y retroceso
Mantenga presionado uno de los botones de clip anterior o
siguiente para cambiar al modo de avance y retroceso. Como
resultado, ahora es posible usarlos para reproducir el clip a
la mitad de la velocidad normal o hasta 50 veces más rápido.
Para cancelar este modo, pulse los botones para reproducir o
detener el clip.
