General Help Q&A / How does it all work?
April 09, 2013, 07:31:54 PM
I got some nice insights by 1% in regards to how video is captured in a Canon DSLR. But I still have some questions.

I understand there is a .422 file that is constantly updating and utilized somehow by hardware and creates a video. My question is how is the liveview image generated? The sensor of course is taking information the information in, I assume it then creates an HD liveview version of the sensor data, which is in turn recorded by the camera. Is the liveview stream in fact HD? Some files I have recorded indicated the video size is 1920x1088 (this could also be me doing something wrong.)

My question is, and I don't mean this in a condescending manner or disrespectful, but why does it seem to be so difficult to change the liveview streams resolution, when elements like bit rate control and HDR video seem to be relatively easy to implement. I assume this camera is more than capable to push the stream to something like 2048x1080 or 2048x1152, and the H.264 does support these resolutions.
