Thought you guys might be interested to have this. I don't think it's been posted anywhere yet.

Hi guys,

I've been using ML for a long time now but haven't currently gone to RAW; mostly due to computer and HD constraints. The most annoying thing for me currently though is that the 5DII outputs through the HDMI at 480 resolution. I was told once that using the RAW ML makes the 5DII output at full 1080. I just wanted to confirm this... If it's true, I will probably make the switch over finally to RAW shooting. I'm fed up of pulling focus on my SmallHD AC7 in 480 res!

Also, for people used to the workflow, will I be OK using a current gen Mac Book Pro Retina (16GB RAM at 1600mhz, 2.3 quad core i7 and 1GB nvidia 650M graphics)? I appreciate it's not ideal but is it usable? I'm not sure how large the files still are after they've been converted after shooting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys. I've been shooting with ML for quite a long time now but I've been so busy recently that I'm a little bit behind in where ML currently is.

I always shoot with a Cinevate Cyclops (fantastic btw) but I really need to sort a monitor out. I'm looking at the SmallHD AC7 monitor and have a few questions;

Firstly, as far as I am aware, when you hit record on the 5D2, output through the HDMI is 480p or similar. Has ML improved on this?

I'm sure plenty of people have shot with 5D2 on a larger monitor. Is the 480 output REALLY annoying...or just not ideal...?

When you plug the HDMI into the 5D2 I assume the LCD screen goes blank. Is this true and is that changeable through ML? (Im thinking along the lines of having a focus puller using the monitor on shots when I can't reasonably maintain focus and the operate camera)

Any other general wisdom anyone else has regarding 5D2s and field monitors would also be greatly appreciated.

Cheers everyone, Alex
