Frequently Asked Questions

Will Previzion handle 4:4:4 video data?

4:4:4 support is planned. The existing hardware can handle a dual link, 4:4:4 data input and output stream, and the internal keying, compositing, and rendering already operate using 32 bit floating point RGB computation.

What other tracking protocols will Previzion support?

Both PhaseSpace and MoSys tracking protocol support is planned, as well as any other tracking protocols that customers request. In addition, support for the Canon and Cooke/RED /i lens data protocol is planned.

Will Previzion work with the RED camera?

The RED camera’s live output is presently limited to a 720p HDSDI stream, which Previzion can certainly process, but obviously does not take advantage of the full resolution of the camera. However, the camera and lens tracking and data logging will still work properly, and simplify post production considerably by removing much of the tracking effort. We are working on supporting the Cooke /i protocol that the RED zoom and prime lenses use, and should have that working soon after NAB.

In general, Previzion will work with any video, data, or film camera that can generate a SMPTE standard 720p or 1080p/i HDSDI signal.
