INTRODUCTION
After 3 weeks of in depth technical and real world tests, I've decided to share an expanded look at my Dynamic Range Tests for the new RED V-Raptor [X] 8K VV rather than sharing quick thoughts. I'm providing this as a resource to illustrate important aspects of doing technical tests such as these while also highlighting how I derive my Total Captured Dynamic Range assessment. With hopes of helping filmmakers create intended results, I'm also providing a few thoughts on best practices, workflow, and including a few useful charts.
There's been a lot of interest in my camera tests over the years. After 25+ years of testing image acquisition systems professionally, this is the first time publicly that I have published such an in depth look. Part of the challenge was condensing data, images, and thoughts down to just a few pages without it being a pile of spreadsheets to dig through.
This is data and image heavy, so for ease of viewing I have created a high resolution PDF as well as individual slides for filmmakers to download. 26 pages.
