Several days ago, Canon USA released the new firmware update for Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera. The main update is the uncompressed HDMI output.
CPN published a new article about using this new clean HDMI output on 5D Mark III.
“The improved HDMI output with new EOS 5D Mark III firmware has opened up exciting possibilities,” reveals Jacques de Vos. “In order to qualify as ‘broadcast quality’, 75% of a programme has to be shot at 50Mbits per second or greater. Footage shot on a DSLR like my EOS 7D has therefore been in the 25% that doesn’t meet that level. But now I can shoot at true broadcast quality with the EOS 5D Mark III.”

Hey thx for the drop. Already made the upgrade… also I do not understand this “broadcast quality standard” when I zapp thru the channels some of them have a compressionrate so high that the bandwith including sound is < 500kbps… don´t know why my recording needs to be more than a 100-times more data.
what’s the best way to connect to a monitor? use the hdmi out put of the recorder ou use the sdi for monitoring ?
