Mysterium-X upgrade

[Bal Deo]

What will i get by upgrading to Mysterium-X sensor on red one.
Yes bigger sensor, better quality, higher res
How about REDCODE 225, higher frame rates at 2k, 4k, and 5k.?

[Gunleik Groven]

Same size sensor
Redcode 42
Same rez
Better quality (in some ways)

Probably:
Better effective dynamic range (but probably the same "real/measurable" one as the bit-depth may stay the same as opposed to Epic)
More overall fun depending on the price/performance ratio and how much of the inner elements of the camera actually has to be changed in addition to the sensor itself.

BUT
THese are guesses and speculations and should soon be forgotten...

I'm not sure this is accurate. I was under the impression that you could get the 5K sensor in the RED, but it wouldn't do the higher framerates. But I could be mistaken.

[Gunleik Groven]

Could be.
As far as I have seen, the pixel-size in MX is the same as the current.
Without changing even more of the boards... Well, who knows, 'cept maybe Jim and Jarrod...

Speculations anyway.

Kinda sorry I bit the bait... :)

Twice...

i was hoping to get enough info. to make a decision. sensor M-X upgrade or epic upgrade.?

I'm pretty sure that Jim said that it would be the same resolution, 4.5K. I'll try to find the post... Nah, can't find it, sorry!

I am totally sure that those will be different products with different advantages....

[Imran Farouk]

It can't do 5K,Jarred has already stated that the internals can only be pushed so much and 5K requires a massive pipe that Red one doesn't have...
Higher DR, better 4.5K image etc. is probably more likely but not certain...it's said though it can't do 5K...

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Imran is correct. Jim and Jarred have both said it. With the sensor upgrade, you just get a better sensor for an improved image, more sensitivity, less skew.

Due to the other internals and bandwidth restrictions, all the shooting modes, resolutions, frame rates, etc.. remain the same.

Mysterium-X and the original Mysterium have the same size pixels/photosites at 5.4 microns. The RED One has a "5K" sensor as well, the camera just can't use more than the 4520 pixel width active area. And for internal processing and bandwidth reasons, we're limited to 4480x1920 or 4096x2304.

Jarred confirmed just a few days ago no new framerates.
