Hi all,

I hope someone reads this soon and I am just doing something wrong. I bought my shuttle 2 last year, with intentions of recording the T2i HDMI out. I swear I recorded something with it at one time, but then my t2i hdmi out stopped working. So I got a refurbished t3i.

The emergency is I have my first paying gig this saturday and I have been spending 3 days trying to get the HDMI out to record on my shuttle 2. The SSDs are fine, got two different ones, they both work in terms of SSD light goes on then off and STOP button is lit. I was able to detect a video signal on the Shuttle 2 from my laptop. The problem seems that my t3i outputs 1080i 60, and it is a listed recording format for the shuttle 2, yet, the video light will NOT go on, so I can't record anything.

I've set the camera in to 1080p/24 mode but I assume that is the internal mode for recording to the SD card.

I have verified on my IKAN monitor as well as my TV that the signal is 1080i 60 coming from the T3i.

Is there any way to change that to 1080p/24 output? I am guessing not.. so if not, fine I'll record the 1080i 60 and then convert somehow to 1080p/24.

I've set the shutter to 1/47.5" on MagicLantern so that it's close to 24 fps. However, I am now confused if the output is 1080i 60, what good is it setting 1080p/24? Again, I hope I can convert to 1080p/24 in post, haven't had to do this sort of thing before.

Anything else I am missing as to why the HDMI out works on monitors but will not get the Shuttle 2 to light up the video signal?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Like many I am super excited about this ML development with RAW, but dismayed because of the Txi 21Mb/s limit reducing the maximum resolution possible.

First, with a theoretical maximum 21mb/s, will it ever be possible to get 1920x1080 RAW? I am guessing no, what about 1280x720?

Is there any chance a stripped down ML that is ONLY for RAW video record (e.g... nothing extra.. just purely focussed on RAW recording, not photos, HDR, etc).. by removing any/all unnecessary components to the ML files, would there be room to add code that *might* be able to compress the RAW stream so as to maybe get 1920x1080 compressed RAW (preferrably lossless or ProRes/DNxHD quality)?

Assuming the above is all no, and the best we're going to see is the 960x540... will that resolution, upscaled to 1920x1080 look a lot better than using the 1620x1080 clean HDMI out when the 1620x1080 is cropped and resized to 1920x1080?

I ask because I have the Shuttle 2 HDMI recorder, and am wondering since I have it, if it's better to just use that option and forget the RAW capability, or if resizing RAW would not add too much distortion/loss in quality and be better than the HDMI out?

Here's to hoping the ML pros can get better RAW resolution out of our TxI's.
